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

I’d like to travel around Eastern Europe and visit my oldest schoolfriend in Croatia.  I went from Munich to Lucerne over the last Christmas holiday and it was a joy to see snow-capped mountains and  a beautiful route.

My favorite journey so far is Vienna to Innsbruk, loads of lovely mountains. This summer I am doing Sweden & Finland

so many good choices but my favourite has to be taking the slow train from Copenhagen to Stockholm a few summers back. endless forest, lakes, and beautiful summerhouses, so meditative. love a long journey where you get to see the sun set.

The Oslo Bergen route is next on the wishlist!!

The train route between Salzburg and Zell am See, as it goes through beautiful mountain valleys and along lake shores on my way home.

Myrdal to Flam switchback train, just awesome unforgettable 

My dream train trip would be through Scandinavia (Copenhagen - Göteborg - Stockholm - Östersund - Trondheim - Oslo). I've wanted to get a free interrail ticket to do it since I was 18... unfortunately it didn't work out, so now I'm waiting for either money or an opportunity(s). Why Scandinavia? Because of landscape, peace, sustainability, good connections, authenticity of experience ...

Munich to Amsterdam in the autumn !! 

Our favourite journey by train was by South Caucasus Railway from Yerevan via Tblisi and Batumi to Turkey travelling on by the Dogu Expres from Erzurum to Ankara and Istanbul. A travel along endless mountains, rolling hills, smiling people of old and modern communities.

love to take the TGV from Frankfurt to Marseille, alight at Avignon TGV, short strolld through the city gates you enter medival Europe at its core

Lisbon to Cascais. A very scenic and relaxing route to a treasured destination.

Fort William to Mallaig

I would like to go from Rome to Napoles, eat some pizza and maybe try to reach Sicily.

I would love a trip between Romania and Germany because it would be my first trip exclusive by train between countries. This will help me to learn more about the railway system by seeing different rolling stocks and different signal configurations (interlocking and ETCS systems) and also I can see practically the interoperability railway system which I know about it by reading in different railway books.

My favourite interrail trip was to Maastricht, which turned out to be such a lovely place. It showed me how getting a train will enable you to get to delightful places off the beaten track. There are so many trips on my wish list, but one I’d really like to do is Inlandsbanan in Sweden. If only I could convince my husband to brave the mosquitoes lol. 

On my next Interrail trip, I really want to travel to Sicily.

My next journey is the route from Vienna to Venice, because crossing the Alps between Austria and Italy offers some of the most beautiful landscape transitions. I want to watch the Austrian Alps slowly transition into the sunny vineyards of the Italian plains. 

I have travelled through France, Italy, Austria and Germany. I would like my next adventure to be attending the biennale in Venice, taking in other places on the way and way back.

Oslo to Bergen.

Stared out of the window transfixed for seven hours.  Fjords, rivers and never seen as much snow.

Breathtaking scenery

My favourite train route is from St. Moritz to Tirano with the Rhaetian railway. You have to do in the summer time on a sunny day, when they have the yellow waggons in the rear part with the open top part so that you will be sitting in the fresh air. In the first part of the journey you see wonderful lakes and mountains, from Alp Grüm to Miralago, you have an astonishing view over the whole Puschlav valley on the lake of Poschiavo while the train is descending in serpentines. It's only a short trip, but do wonderful. Get off at Le Prese and walk around the lake, take a swim, take some ice cream at Poschiavo and enjoy the same view on your way back. It's so amazing!

I think my favourite train ride was during my first interrail, I took the night train between Budapest and Bucharest, it was my first night train ever, and we woke up in the snowy mountains, to the gentle noise of the train on the tracks. It was magical! I took more "scenic" trains since, but this first experience will always be a fond memory

I see nobody talking about my beautiful Portugal yet! The Douro slow train Line (from Porto to Pocinho along the river) is magnificent :) Definitely on my bucket list, even though it’s on my own country!

The route from Italy via the Brennerpass to Austria and onwoards to Germany. Amazing landscape and mountains whereever you look!

I love the train from Arnhem to Zwolle. It's thankfully close to my home, I've traveled the world but in covid times we had to explore what was nearby and I discovered there's so much beauty in our own surroundings

Slovenian railroad along the Sava river. I also have a wish to go with train across Swiss Alps and Norvegian Flåm Railway.

It would have to be by steam train. The Jacobite line which is a 84-mile trip from Fort William to Mallaig. It passes Ben Nevis and the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct as featured on Harry Potter!
