RENT A CAR VS. TAKE THE TRAIN

I love the trains of Europe. If you are visiting the major cities of Europe there is no other rational or more pleasant way of getting from the center of one to the center of another, unless there is a big body of water between them. Then you take a ferry, another utterly enjoyable experience. For an illustrated introduction to trains and ferries see chapter 17, Trains in Europe.

But if you are planning a trip to see the bucolic regions of a country or two, the smart way to go is the good old American way — by car. I have driven throughout most of Europe on various trips, from Istanbul to Stockholm. Having a car is certainly the best way to explore specific regions like Burgundy and Bavaria in depth. Have a plan or amble about the villages and Dorfs, stay in small country gites and Gasthauses, and dine in auberges and Stubes. If you plan some shopping you don't need to worry about carrying your purchases around. I love old and unusual junque from flea markets in Europe and can easily fill a car trunk in a few weeks with new found valuables.

It will be a trip you will never forget. But before you hit the road, get familiar with some of the differences between driving in the USA and driving in Europe. There are plenty of unfamiliar things for the first timer. Your life depends on knowing the basics. And make sure that you have good maps and/or a GPS device.

Travel Destination Guide - Travel Agency

Travel Agency:

Constantly changing airfares and schedules and the overwhelming amount of travel information makes travel planning confusing. You can turn to a travel agent or travel agency who can assess your needs and make the best possible travel arrangements. Major airlines, resorts and tour operator agencies use a travel agency to promote travel packages. A travel agency can give advice on destinations, weather conditions, restaurants, tourist attractions, and recreation. A travel agency also provides information on customs regulations, required papers (passports, visas, and certificates of vaccination), and currency exchange rates.
