Why Train Travel In Europe Is So Much Fun
The last time I went backpacking through Europe I made it a point to take a few train tours to see some of the most intimate areas of several different countries. Taking the train while backpacking through Europe is no doubt the most affordable and exciting way to get from point A to point B.
Rail travel is my favorite for a variety of different reasons, but most importantly because it is much more comfortable than riding on a bus or airplane. It is also a great place to meet fellow travelers and trade stories of your latest adventure. Often times while exchanging stories with a fellow backpacker, you can learn of new destinations that you won’t find in any guide book.
On top of all that, taking the train is the perfect way to get a look at the more scenic areas of Europe. It is an iconic, exciting, and memorable way to travel and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
