Crossing Europe by train for under €200.
A real route through seven cities — Lisbon to Vienna: which legs to book in advance, where a night train replaces a hotel, and one app that surfaces fares the big booking sites hide.

Omio lets you compare both options in one search — and every one of our guides tells you which is the better deal on a specific route. Trains vs buses →
