RAIL EUROPE
 

Gateway Travel is one of a limited number of U.S. travel agencies invited to be part of Rail Europe's Euronet computer reservations system.  As a Euronet member agency, Gateway Travel has online access to up-to-the-minute European train schedules and reservations.  We issue your European rail passes, train tickets and reservations instantly, right in our office.

When it comes to travel by train in Europe, Gateway's specialized travel consultants can help you simplify complex travel arrangements.  We can put you on the best trains, traveling the most scenic routes, for the best price. 

RAIL PASSES
Gateway Travel offers a complete range of European and British Rail Passes, including country-specific passes, regional passes and passes that give you freedom of travel throughout Europe.  Our European rail experts can help you determine the pass that's right for your needs.  Discounts are offered for youth (under 26) and for two or more persons traveling together.

Rail 'N Drive Passes combine the best of both worlds; train travel for longer distances plus your own rental car for shorter trips.  You rent the car for just the day you need it--one day at a time.  In most cases you can purchase additional rail days and car rentals to completely customize your travel.

For a nominal fee, Gateway Travel offers a Pass Protection Plan, covering you in case your pass is lost or stolen. 

POINT-TO-POINT FARES
If you plan a limited amount of train travel in Europe, this could be the solution.  If you wish to stop off along the route to your destination, you can do so, often without additional charges.  Gateway Travel's European rail experts can advise you when this is your best option.  We can help you decide between First and Second Class and can make couchette and sleeping car reservations on overnight trains.

Buy your train tickets before you get to Europe!  Don't waste your precious vacation time standing in line at European train stations, trying to explain your needs to a clerk who might not understand English!  Since trains often sell out in Europe, make sure you get the reservations and tickets you need before you leave home.  Gateway Travel will advise you concerning your itinerary, making your reservations and issuing your train tickets right in our office.

PREMIER TRAINS
These are the shining stars of the rail network in Europe.  They combine high-speed travel with unmatched service and comfort.  They are exceptionally convenient, as they whisk you from city to city, with many departure times available.  All trains feature bars and restaurant service.  Gateway Travel can make your reservations on these trains, including:
