Enjoy Scenic Train Rides in Europe

The most comfortable way to take in Europe’s stunning scenery from the best vantage point.

If you want to experience Europe like never before and do as the locals do, embrace train travel to create fond memories as you travel past beautiful scenery, picturesque towns, and vibrant cities.

Explore Europe By Train

Europeans love to travel by train, and for good reason. Train travel is one of the most comfortable ways to journey as it allows you to get up and move around rather than spend the entire trip on your seat as you would on a plane or bus. Moreover, trains are better for the planet as they’re responsible for lower CO2 emissions than cars or planes. Last but certainly not least, train travel is your ticket to a pleasant, unhurried journey through landscapes of unfathomable beauty and the most efficient way to get from one place to another within the same country or from one country to the next.

Partake in Italy’s Train Culture

With a total length of over 15,000 miles, the Italian railway system is loved by locals and visitors alike. Trains in Italy represent a lot more than a way to travel; they’re part of the Italian culture. Traveling by train, past nostalgic railway stations, and sitting next to locals reading a newspaper or vividly chatting with each other is one of the best ways to get a glimpse of the local lifestyle. A train journey from Rome to Venice via Florence allows you to see the highlights of Italy without worrying about internal flights or long car rides. Not only that, the high speed Freccia trains cover long distances rapidly, bringing everywhere closer together.

Central Europe’s Must-See Capitals

The essence of Central Europe lies in its three most celebrated capitals: Prague, Vienna, and Budapest. Their similarities are striking, but even more so are their differences. Choosing your favorite among the three won’t be easy, but it’s worth trying. One thing’s for sure, though. There’s no better way to travel from one capital city to the next than by train. Central Europe is renowned for its railway systems, and few things can be as romantic as a train ride through the very heart of Europe.
