November 9, 1989. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. I was studying for my High School finals and had the TV on as background noise. All of sudden, the movie was interrupted for the breaking news that changed the history of Germany and entire Europe.
Only a few weeks earlier I went to Berlin using an overnight train from Stuttgard to Berlin, now no longer an overnight journey due to the ICE High Speed Train. Nothing fancy, a 2nd class couchette cabin which had to be shared with 5 more travelers.
We now have an interactive map of Europe on our site to help with travel planning. This is a long overdue feature to our website, but we’re glad to finally bring you our first comprehensive European rail map, representing all train lines including high speed rail and regional networks.
In recent years, Austria has become a gourmet hotspot for many. Much of Austria’s cuisine is derived the Austro-Hungarian Empire. With its location, Austrian dishes have also been influenced by the country’s neighbors. The tastes you’ll indulge in while in Austria are some of the most trans cultural ones in all of Europe, a true delight for the palette!
