Europe by train is a different trip: city-center to city-center, no airports, the scenery improving with every leg. An AI train travel planner sequences the threads where every leg stays under four hours — the difference between a journey and a commute.
The proven threads: London–Paris–Amsterdam; Paris–Lucerne–Venice–Rome; Prague–Vienna–Budapest. The planner generates each city's days and schedules the legs at the early-bird booking windows.
Destination, dates, travel style, interests and budget — one form, one click, one day-by-day plan you can keep refining.
Plan your London trip with AI →Every rail leg stays under four hours — beyond that, the transfer day eats the destination. The planner schedules the legs as half-days with soft first and last days, so the stitching never tears the itinerary.
The honest trade is the fifth city versus the fourth night. Generate both shapes — the totals make the pace visible.
Cultural produces the museum-city shape; foodie the eating-thread; relaxed the scenic-line version (the Gotthard, the Glacier Express) where the window seat is the point.
Rail adds €20–60 per leg booked early; passes lose on fixed threads. The planner's per-city estimates plus the rail math give the honest total.
Point-to-point booked early for fixed threads — passes lose on every proven route.
London–Paris–Amsterdam: the proven ten days, every leg under 3.5 hours.
The Gotthard Panorama, the Glacier Express, the Bernina Express, the Flåm railway.
On the premium trains yes — included with booked tickets. Regional trains are walk-up.
