A favorite way of travelling youth.
If you are tired of the same type of tours and beach holidays and you’re looking for inspiration for a unique and memorable holiday — take a look at this post about how people traveled in the 70-ies. A trip around Europe by train you should consider, isn’t it.
At the dawn of the 70s the price of tickets from London to Italy was just $ 24.

And this conversation could last for several hundred kilometers. Thus was born a new kind of traveller…
1. In July 1970, LIFE magazine sent a lucky photographer Carlo Bavagnoli to travel around Europe by train.
2. His story was dedicated to all travelers-the public sector — a new wave of free-spirited graduates of American colleges who want some freedom before you put on the yoke of worker capitalism.
3. They traveled in large groups to get acquainted, and slept in the stations and played the guitar waiting for the next train.
