Forget having to dig deep into savings or try to remember airport rules; many of the world's great city breaks can be reached via train from the UK for less than £100.
Hotspots such as Milan, Vienna, Copenhagen and Cinque Terre can easily be reached by train; plus for those looking to keep their carbon footprint down while feeding their fever for adventure, there is no better way to travel than by train.
Thanks to the Eurostar and an extensive, often quite cheap rail network on the Continent, many of Europe's great cities can be accessed via train.
