Planning a European trip by train sounds simple until you actually start piecing together routes, connections and tickets across multiple countries. If you’re considering a rail trip through Europe, there’s a free resource that may help make the planning process a little easier.

Byway is offering a free, pre-recorded video course on how to plan a train trip across Europe.

What Is the Byway DIY Slow Travel Course?

The course is designed for travelers who want to plan their own overland trip rather than have someone else build the itinerary for them.

According to Byway, the course covers the process of planning a trip yourself, including route mapping and buying tickets. Because the course is pre-recorded, you can sign up and work through the material on your own schedule.

Byway also gives you the option to provide your departure date when signing up so it can send timely tips related to your trip. Signing up also opts you into slow travel news, trip inspiration and offers from Byway, with the option to unsubscribe.

Who Is It For?

This is worth checking out if you’re interested in exploring Europe by train but aren’t quite sure how to turn a collection of destinations into a workable itinerary.

It could be particularly useful if you’re planning a multi-stop European trip and want to better understand the basics before you start purchasing tickets.

How Much Does It Cost?

It’s free. Byway describes it as a free pre-recorded video course. You’ll need to provide your email address to sign up.
