Win a copy of Platform Europe + an Interrail Pass! (closed)

Bergen to Oslo is one of my favourites. 

I have always wanted to do the train through the black Forrest in Germany, it looks glorious and I hope to be able to achieve this dream one day

My best train ride so far was from Genoa to Marseilles. Right along the water, hugging the Côte d'Azur. From the upper deck of the regional two-story train, you had a magnificent view of the Mediterranean. 

I would loooove to travel to Nordic countries : Finland, Norway and Sweden

My favorite journey, using an interrail pass, was between Naxos (Greece) and Santorini (Greece). You could see so many different islands during the ride, it was so nice. Most people don’t even know about that you can travel by ferries between greek islands using Greek Islands interrail pass.
If I had to mention a trip involving trains, then I would say my favorite was between Como (Italy) and Füssen (Germany). During the majority of the journey, we were traveling between the swiss mountains and man, they looked soo amazing.

I want to go to Spain again and ride the R5 regional train from Barcelona up into the mountains to the Abadia de Montserrat. Last time I was in Barcelona I couldn‘t because of time constraints. :(

My favourite train route by far is the train I took between Vienna and Maribor via Graz. Absolutely stunning route through the mountains!

The main route on my wishlist is the trains between Helsinki, Oulu and Rovaniemi in Finland, I would love to explore northern Finland!

My favorite journey - if I choose one of the less popular options - is the section from Olomouc to Jesenik in the eastern part of the Czech Republic. A real mountain railway in a scenic landscape 

My absolute favourite train ride is from Chennai to Kochi (India). I went on a night train which was an unforgettable experience. I was sitting on the side of the train with the doors opened, there was a small breeze in my hair and I was enjoying the view of tropical trees and plants. I felt at peace and indescribably happy. Although my favourite rout isn't in India I also loved the train ride from Stavanger to Oslo and every other train ride on my previous  Interrail  trip. 

My next train journey would like it to be from Paris to somewhere in Norway ✨ 

During my Interrail trip I visited 8 countries, but Ljubljana in Slovenia made the biggest impression on me🙌🏻 I would love to go there again. I would love to combine it with a visit to Italy🙏🏻😊

Favourite travel route? It’s difficult to choose, I crossed Europe many times and every railway has its beauties. Incredibly slow rides through Romanian flatlands, where we can easily watch birds, incredibly fast ICE and TGV, when we can cross half of Europe in one day. Crossing mountains with deep canyons and tunnels twisting like a snake between the rocks, or riding along coast and watching sunset above sea. Adventures with big delays, when people can get closer and start communicating or when I can do more work, than during whole year. But the most important is, that in every train I feel like at home. Or it is my home. I spend there most of my free time, I can watch landscape and villages, relax, listen music, write or do other work on computer. If the train is empty, I can lie down on the “couch” and enjoy the feeling of home. But one thing is missing there – the people. I can easily watch local people and get to know their habits, but I never have opportunity to enjoy the time together with someone. I don’t have anyone to go with and most of the people are afraid to speak with strangers and if in some countries not, they don’t speak foreign languages. I wish having some tool for people to easily meet in trains. Some places dedicated to solo travellers, who wants to get to know new people, or some platform, where we would be able easily to find company. This way we could bring more people to trains, for example those ones, who are afraid to travel alone and needs someone more experienced to go with.

My slowest and most enjoyable train journey was from St Petersburg to Murmansk, in July, so it never got dark. Hours and hours of silver birch forests and then in the Arctic Circle were navy blue lakes and snow topped pink mountains.

Favourite train journey in Europe: Interrailing through southern France and only taking regional trains

Having to switch trains four times in one day sounds a bit stressful, but it was the complete opposite.
By combining multiple regional trains to get to our destination, we were making use of our breaks between the different trains in the best possible way:
Starting at 8:30 am in Grenoble, at 10 am we were having a croissant in Valence, by noon stopping for crèpe and cappuccino in Avignon and going to the old port of Marseille during early afternoon.
All of that before arriving at our destination on the Côte d’Azur at 4 pm. Loved it.

Train route vienna to venice, very quick, comfy and overnight path to the south! 

Paris to Barcelona is hands down my favorite route! 🚊There’s nothing like watching the scenery shift from the busy streets of Paris to those dreamy Mediterranean vibes in just a few hours. The best part is definitely the stretch near the border where you’re literally gliding past lagoons and beautiful views with tracks right next to the water. 🇨🇵🇪🇸 Crossing the Pyrenees into Catalonia just feels like pure vacation mode😍. 

I wanna go from Berlin to Rome, where I used to live many years ago.

If I could go back in time, my all-time favorite route would be the one from Tirano in Italy to St. Moritz in Switzerland—offering astonishing views you can experience only from the train.

I would love to travel from Paris to Italy, Czech republic and Germany to visit my erasmus friends !

I love the Bernina and also Oslo - Bergen. But I also love Himmelstreppe (translates as: stairway to heaven) a small local train in the Austrian alps not too far away from my hometown Vienna

I wish to travel to my second home in Alicante provins ones again.

My favorite journey so far was from Amsterdam all the way to Naples, bringing me through Switzerland with the sleeper train, and across Italy with views of both snowy mountains and the ocean. 

I really want to do the Sarajevo-Mostar Train this year!

I’m building a startup now and would love to take an interrail from Finland to Turkey in one long sitting and see how much progress I can make in the trains!

I really hope to travel through Norway south to north and back once!! :)
