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.

The red Bernina Express train rounds a curve through an autumn Alpine landscape, with golden larch trees, evergreen pines, and dramatic snow-capped peaks and a glacier visible under a clear blue sky.

Two Eurostar high-speed trains with distinctive yellow and silver noses sit side by side at London St Pancras International station, beneath the station's sweeping Victorian arched glass and iron roof.

A green and silver Trenitalia locomotive pulls passenger carriages into a small station on the Lake Como line, with travellers waiting on the platform and lush tree-covered hillsides and terracotta-roofed villas rising steeply behind.

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.

France & Germany By Train

Yet another combination of countries worth exploring by train, France and Germany await to take you on an unforgettable ride across some of the most fascinating destinations on their maps. From Paris and Strasbourg in France, continue to Munich and Berlin in Germany for one of the most diverse travel experiences in Europe.

The Queen of Train Travel in Europe

That’s no other than Switzerland. Boasting the best railway system in Europe, Switzerland also features some of the most breathtaking scenic train routes. The famous Bernina Express, with its winding tunnels and spectacular views, and the glass-topped Glacier Express are only a small sample of Switzerland’s impressive train rides.

From setting off on a multi-day train adventure to simply sprinkling your itinerary with a train ride or two, JayWay Travel can take care of all the logistics and pick the best scenic train rides for you.
