Discover Europe on foot. From Norway’s Lofoten Islands to the southern tip of Portugal, across England, through the mountains of Slovenia and Switzerland, on a tour of the Benelux countries, or island-hopping in Denmark. Europe is made for long-distance hiking. With just a backpack and the bare essentials, you’ll experience the freedom of the trail: full days in nature, a clear mind, and the chance to push yourself both physically and mentally. Along the way, enjoy hearty meals in mountain huts, make new friends, or fall asleep under the stars in your tent.

Travelling by train is one of the best ways to explore Europe, and this book shows you how to make the most of its vast rail network. Ride classic railways through Scotland and Switzerland, chase the pinkish glow of midsummer nights in Lapland, and follow lines that lead to the edge of the map. Discover routes to Croatia, along the Mediterranean coast, across the Pyrenees, and to wild places at the end of the line. Inside, you’ll also find stories about the people, stations, and scenery that make rail travel so special, brought to life with the authors’ own photography and all the practical information you need to plan your own journey.
