Could you help me? How easy is it to travel by train and how long could we expect it to take? Thank You!

from 13 to 17 hours and 1 to 3 train changes, depending on departure hour.

There's a direct night train leaving at 7:10pm, arriving at 9:55am.

Sue - Thanks for the info. Have you traveled on this train? I wanted to spend time in both cities and then travel in between. Your thoughts on the itinerary? [email protected]

In theory, you could get a cheap flight ($99 ?) on www.europebyair.com from either Rotterdam or Maastricht (closer to Brussels, I think) to Innsbruck or Graz. Still leaves you with a several train ride, but overall quicker (and cheaper?), perhaps.<BR><BR>But I cannot confirm this route on the EuropeByAir website. Might be worth a phone call.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>
