Unlike air travel with its chaotic security lines and trip-ruining delays, or driving with its parking challenges and navigation stress, train travel in Europe offers a uniquely relaxed way to witness the changing landscapes, architecture, and cultures as you cross borders. For the truly adventurous traveler, the flexibility of an interrail pass is unparalleled. Hop off a few stops early to explore a hidden gem town recommended by the friendly locals you met in the cafe car. Or reschedule your ticket and stay one night longer to buy a bit more time with that lovely person you locked eyes with across the market. While train travel is considered slow travel, it’s never time wasted.
