Train Tip
For safety, keep all of your important documents (passport, railpass, traveler's checks) in a moneybelt worn underneath your clothing. When sleeping on a train, use your daypack as your pillow. This will prevent anyone from snatching it while you sleep. Also, Xerox all important documents such as your passport, identification cards, insurance cards, and railpass. Keep the copies in a separate, safe place. Watch out for groups of children or adults creating a commotion meant to distract tourists for easy pickpocketing.
