If you want exercise, fresh air and a bit of adventure during your holiday, why not opt for a cycle/train vacation? Just keep in mind that it is not always possible to bring your bike on the train. When I traveled from Lyon to Zurich, I had no problems at all but other countries have a far less welcoming approach than France and Switzerland.
I recently read a survey from 2007 that ranked the best and worst trains for passengers who travels with bikes in Europe.
The result are as follows:
Best
1. GNER, Great Britain
2. SBB, Switzerland
3. Hull Trains, Great Britain
Worst
30. SJ, Sweden
31. Eurostar, Great Britain
32. Renfe, Great Britain
33. Thalys, Belgium
34. OSE, Greece
