About the Author

Reid Bramblett has lived in Europe on and off since the age of

11, and is the author of ten travel guides, including Frommer’s

Tuscany & Umbria and Frommer’s Northern Italy. He is Associate

Editor of Budget Travel magazine, the creator of the award-

winning TravelTools.net, and a contributor of travel articles

to such publications as Newsweek, The Miami Herald, and the

Dallas Morning News. When not on the road, he splits his time

between New York and his native Philadelphia.

Dedication

This book is dedicated to Frances C. Sayers, who is largely

responsible for it being (a) finished, and (b) accurate.

Author’s Acknowledgments

My editor, Christine Ryan, did an excellent job of pointing out

all the many, many places where what I originally wrote was

confusing, out of place, or simply defied all laws of physics.

Readers have her to thank for any coherence they might find

within these pages. My parents first brought me to Europe

(kicking and screaming) at the age of 11 to live in Rome, and

proceeded to teach me all about vagabonding around the

Continent over the next two years. These pages are, in large

part, just me cribbing from those two masters at the art of

travel. James Sayers and Matt Finley have both contributed

greatly to this book over its various editions — I made them

do all the difficult bits — and are both living proof that no one

really lasts more than one season as a travel writer’s assistant.

And finally, my gratitude to Boy Scout Troop 116, which — over

the course of three weeks in the summer of 2000 — reminded

me (a) of all those minor aspects of life on the road we travel

writers take for granted yet would save first-timers hours of

agony and confusion if only someone would have warned them

first, and (b) that the promise to lead a group of teenage boys

across Europe is a serious thing and should probably never be

agreed upon after one’s sixth pint of Guinness.
