It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end.
It's time to think about travel differently. To discover the places inbetween. TripHop can show you directly connected places by train, coach or boat.
Hi, I'm Howard.
Over the last few years, I've been travelling around Europe and seeing what our fab continent has to offer.
These days I'm less interested in where I'm going to and want to know more about where I'm going through.
I love getting off the train (or coach - I've become a fan) and going for a mooch around the places I used to fly over.
The trouble is that transport information is a bit of a mess. I've made TripHop to try and make planning trips a bit easier - and maybe a bit more fun.

Here are some sites that have inspired me.
There are so many ways to buy tickets for travel by train, coach and boat. Most operators have their own websites and I've put links into the travel details of each hop. Of all the operator sites, I think my favourite is Deutsche Bahn. But it soon gets messy when trying to buy tickets for other networks. I find it more convenient to use a ticketing specialist when travelling with more that one operator. Here are some options:
Buying an Interrail Pass makes a lot of sense if you want flexible travel on trains that would be expensive when booking last minute.
If you'd like to see what there is to see and do, here are some sites with ideas.
Here are some links to sites where you can find a place to stay.
One way to get a feel for the possibilities is to see what trains (and some buses) are leaving from a place right now.
*Note* this is experimental - not all departures for larger places are returned and are not in chronological order.
