I’m loving train travel! A few years ago I did a month long Ireland-Northern Ireland-Scotland-England-France trip with my son and parents and we took a lot of trains. It is definitely the best and easiest way to get around Europe.
For this adventure, I purchased the Eurail 3-month Global Pass for my European travel. You can pre-order online or purchase a pass at your first train station.
The Global Pass lets you travel in these 33 countries:
- Austria
- Belgium
- Bosnia-Herzegovina
- Bulgaria
- Croatia
- Czech Republic
- Denmark
- Estonia
- Finland
- France
- Germany
- Great Britain
- Greece
- Hungary
- Ireland
- Italy
- Latvia
- Lithuania
- Luxembourg
- Montenegro
- Netherlands
- North Macedonia
- Norway
- Poland
- Portugal
- Romania
- Serbia
- Slovakia
- Slovenia
- Spain
- Sweden
- Switzerland
- Turkey
Included in the pass are regional trains, high speed trains, night trains, scenic trains (ie The Glacier Express) and ferries. Some itineries require a reservation and some an extra fee (ie night trains).
In this picture, I’m on the train from Stavanger to Oslo catching up on my reading & writing!
I was assisted by a nice gentleman who helped me heft Big Bertha into the overhead bin. My goal in Oslo or Stockholm is to find a new bag on wheels with backpack straps and ship Big Bertha home. I’m after the Osprey Sojourn!
Happy Travels 💕
Yes I must say train travel in Europe was awesome 😎👍
