Traveling by train makes for a trip centered on cities and towns rather than out-of-the-way country places. We have mixed smaller towns with bigger cities to make sure you don't experience too much hustle and bustle. Three or four adults traveling together by train can often get 4-for-2 ticket deals. Avoid traveling during rush hour, when your ticket will cost more and you probably won't even get a seat! Pack as light as possible to make your life easier! Traveling by train can be a bit confusing, but the ticket agents at the stations are usually quite helpful. The travel time also gives you a great opportunity to relax and enjoy the scenery -- it's almost always going to be gorgeous!
