hi travellers just thought i would mention a few great cheap ways of travelling around europe seeing as i have just booked a trip myself. the first way is on the Eurorail which has a great netweork as seen on the map of Europe where trains come frequently and are usually on time. another great reason to choose to travel on the Euro Rail is that it is much cheaper than flying and if your well prepared and plan ahead travellers can use the train trip as a place to sleep as they're really safe and saves a lot of time and money rather than buying a night in a hostel. although this a small diagram of the wider rail system these shows the main routes and speed at which the trains travel which shows that gettting from one place to another doesnt neccesarily have to take ages.

Another Cheap means of transport around Europe is call BusAbout which is a company that provides a hop on hope off basis to travellers where you cna by tickets for specific trips or buy an alloted time period ticket. similar to the EuroRail pass. hope this gives you travellers some further ideas on travel around Europe rather than expensive Contiki tours or planes.
