  4. Look for train stations and connections between cities

Travel days

Be aware of your travel days. A travel day consists of 24 hours, starting at 0:01 am on that particular day. If you would like to travel in night trains that is a plus.

Seat reservations

Some international trains require a seat reservation. Check if you need a seat reservation before you board the train. If you aren’t sure whether you need a seat reservation or not, you could always ask at the information counter at the train station. There are different type of train carriages you could choose from, it depends on the type of train. The most common options are open carriage or cabin carriage.

It doesn’t matter if you travel all by yourself, as a couple, with your family or with all of your friends. One of the best things about traveling by train is that you could bring your own food, drinks and snacks.

This is how you travel Europe by train like a pro.
