Our travel gear contest has closed (sign up for our newsletter to see if you won last week’s challenge), so now it’s time to hit the road. This May, we’re giving away three spring/summer travel opportunities all leading up to our June Summer Sweepstakes giveaway (details to follow).

Check back every week for a different challenge question with a change to win a different transportation or hotel giveaway.

Are you planning to go abroad this summer? Airfares are rising and if you want to see multiple destinations, the train can be your best option. So we’ve put together European Rail challenge:

Tell us two European cities you want to visit and how you can get the most out of the European rail system on the route. We want to know why you’re choosing these spots, what you want to see, eat and experience, AND how the train can improve your journey.

Looking for ideas? You can visit the train travel archives as well Rail Europe, Inc, which combines the maps, schedules and fares of more than 50 different train companies across Europe, creating one stop to plan and book your European rail travel.

Impress us with this challenge and you’ll win two adult, first-class France Rail Pass Premiums, which are for four days of travel in a one month span on the national rail network of France (click here to see the map).

The premium pass also offers personalized concierge service in addition to the rail travel. The Concierge Service can help with hotel bookings, restaurant reservations, tickets for theater and sporting events, airport transfers, luggage service, spa bookings, vineyard tours, special events,  nanny service,  and much more.
