Issue 66 of hidden europe will be published on Friday 18 March 2022. Although the pandemic is still casting uncertainty over our travel plans, we hope to report on a classic rail journey — the new Eurocity service from Vienna to Trieste — that gives the opportunity to recreate the heyday of Habsburg travel. We shall also be exploring a commercial hub in the Polish countryside which is shown on few maps and review some unusual wine-production regions.

Meanwhile, Advent is almost upon us and we shall offer some seasonal specials in our online shop for three weeks from Saturday 27 November. A subscription to hidden europe, perhaps accompanied by a handful of back issues, makes a welcome Christmas gift. Signed copies of the February 2021 reprint of our book Europe by Rail: The Definitive Guide are also available.
