Europe by train - a journey through France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands

Hurry up and take the train with me, why do not we, has been delayed! Ryanair will fly always the cheapest airlines in Europe, after Paris always the easiest thing to do, and you can reach the city from Spain, Italy, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland and Sweden.

If you come from abroad, check each route before any of those countries. Then for 20 € you can make the return trip to Paris with Ryanair. If youfrom the U.S., remember that the airline that flies from Florida is cheaper than Alitalia. We land in Milan and then you can fly to Paris. If you jump from New York, the existence of Zoom Airlines, which will make you remember London for about 350 € round trip, everything included. Then you need an airline to Paris to find an alternative, because Ryanair does not include this route.

The route will make a circle around the area, so if you come from an area that isvery close to one of the intermediate stations, you can certainly begin and end at this point, should not in Paris.

Paris, Paris ... The city of love, they say, romance is in the air, beautiful avenues, and the Eiffel Tower, you can see a bit 'anywhere in the city. Few buildings have achieved the notoriety that Eiffel has, and must surely head crazy imagination and resolve to create such a structure.

There we go, and after touring the Eiffel Tower, weshould take a look at the Louvre. Many of our history is to miss all the details inside. The cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris, will be difficult to forget. It is not only a very important point in the history of a country, but also a reference to art and culture.

A very different kind is in Montmartre, an architectural design to meet some kind of look east. This is essentially a church, and we also see, from anywhere in theCity.

You must also be under the Arc de Triomphe on foot, along the Seine, visit the website of the Musée d'Orsay, the Palace of Versailles to admire and take your loved ones for a stroll on the Champs Elysees, as they say, is the more and more romantic in the world. Judge for yourself!

Thousands of activities to do in Paris, I also remember a short visit (outside!) at Moulin Rouge for the movie ... In any case, after at least 2 days in Paris, we go forward in our path, asomething quick after the first impressions of the capital. From Paris, take the train to Rennes, to visit the Place de la Mairie, Granville by the wayside.

In Rennes, with the head in the direction of St. Malo. This ancient city is specifically Intra-Muros, the ancient remains of the wall. Picturesque, full of typical narrow streets of an old European city of average size. It 's also a duty, a visit to the Cathedral of St. Vincent and the Mont Saint Michel.

Let'sthen back to Rennes, take another train trip to Saint Michel, Caen and Pontorson, and finally back to Paris now on the Benelux region. For travelers with less time, this is your chance to catch the return flight. For the rest we want to go.

From Paris, this time should go to Lille. As a tourist destination has some good reputation and offers a good selection of restaurants and hotels. For tourism, the Place du Général de GaulleVielle Bourse are two main points to take a look. Palace of Arts is a must and the various churches that may arise will surely surprise you.

Time for Belgium now in force in the direction of Brugge. Of course, the cathedral is not something you can avoid. Even if you do not want to see, will be there for you. The bell tower is a good time sightseeing and, of course, enjoy all the canals and bridges are unique.

It should nowby train to Ghent. Visit the Cathedral, walk through the canal and a view of the castle of the Counts. On the way, now we find ourselves in the capital Brussels. I advise you to the city with his eyes very wide open, offering many of its best chances just by crossing the streets here and there on foot. Beautiful city itself was the Grand Palace for some time, and the Atomium and the Heysel area in general. Manneken Pis is also very famous. Make aA selection of museums and take special attention to parks and gardens. Sincerely, some of the best in Europe.

After 1 or 2 days in the capital of Belgium, we return to Ghent and take a train straight to the other capital, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Anne Frank House is a must, once, canals and bridges, houseboats (impressive to see the latter) to satisfy even the Rijksmuseum, and Red Light District (do not take their children there!) For all Barely LegalActivities.

After this beautiful city on the channel (one day under the water, among other things), I'd be back in Brussels. If you have time please visit Haarlme but will not be killed if you do not get. Now You're Gone Brussels by train to Luxembourg, one of the smallest countries in Europe, where the only thing that you visit the city with the same name, Luxembourg.

The Notre Dame Cathedral and the Palazzo Ducale are two major "hot spots". In any case, small butnot least, an interesting city of Luxembourg is considered to be visited. Take a look at bridges and also offers some good museums.

From Luxembourg to Metz Ville and from there to Strasbourg in France, again. Do not miss the impressive cathedral! Finally, close to Narbonne and then to Perpignan. Move on Toulousse, where a visit Agustin Museum and Jacobean church high priority. Now is the time to get the final position of trains in Paris, first inBack to Poitiers, from Poitiers, Tours, with imposing churches and castles, of Paris Tours.

Journey's end!
