Welcome to the Enthusiast's Guide to Travelling the Railways of Europe

For each country in the Guide, there are three sections:

It is suggested that you read the General Information first to gain an understanding of what the Guide offers; or go to the List of Countries in the Guide.

CORONAVIRUS

Europe's railways are significantly affected by the coronavirus epidemic and many governments have placed restrictions on travel. A modified timetable, with fewer trains, has been in operation in many countries, with most international services temporarily withdrawn. As at June 2020 something like a normal service was operating across much of Europe and many borders were open. However, the need for 'social distancing' has resulted in restrictions on the number of passengers who can be carried, particularly on long-distance trains. Seat reservations are increasingly necessary.

This website continues to show train services that would normally be operating, but temporary alterations to the regular service remain likely in many countries.

Information about restrictions on travel to European Union countries can be found at the RE-open EU website.

A summary of arrangements in each country can be found at Rail Guide Europe. In a fast-changing situation, the compilers do not undertake that this information is complete or correct.
