Lonely Planet Low Carbon Europe

Description

Climate concern is cited as the number one reason for increasing numbers of travellers choosing train travel over flights. This inspiring book shows readers who are motivated to travel more sustainably exactly what is possible, introducing some amazing European trips from three days to three weeks in duration with 100 no-fly itineraries across the continent. With week-long and two-week or more trips available, the continent is your oyster. From an easy-going cycling tour of Bordeaux's surf hotspots to uncovering the relics and ruins of the Eastern Mediterranean via bus, train and ferry, there are an eclectic range of experiences available, incorporating culture, beautiful scenery, lip-smackingly good cuisine and much more. Plus, whether it features a ferry journey to the arresting Faroe Islands or a train ride along the picturesque French Riviera, each itinerary suggests ways of getting to the start of the trip from different cities across Europe, as well as carbon counts along the way, ensuring you are in the know about how sustainable your trip is. Each trip features a detailed, step-by-step itinerary with transport connections and a map showing the entire route.
