Which is the best way to travel Europe backpacking or by rail ?

backpacking

Inter Rail using a student pass

i tought that if you go backpacking you travel by anything that you can get your hands on at the time and as cheap as possible so that means railway included, it sure is a great way to get from one country to another , not too expensive and so relaxing, you get to see a lot of the country as well.

good luck and enjoy your trip

definitely book a rail pass. details can be found here: http://www.thetravellerslounge.co.uk/getting_around/rail_passes/
