Rail in Europe

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Adventure On Board

If you think traveling by train is out of touch, out of date, or just plain inefficient, think again. Rail travel, especially in Europe, is quite the opposite: it’s convenient, comfortable, and has a lot of charm. Like an adventure in itself, it’s quiet, there are no long security lines, and you can even bring your own snacks and a bottle of wine on board. Not to mention many European train stations are housed in some of the most beautiful buildings around. All that with a front row seat to some of the most stunning scenery in the world, landing you right in the exciting city center of your destination. If there’s something to be said about the journey being the destination, this would be it.
