No Hassle :
|
| Avoid the endless queues at crowded airport or the stress
of driving in a different country, with new rules, unreadable signs or
traffic jams ... Trains bring you from city centre to city centre, you
arrived fresh and relaxed! |
| |
|
Unique viewpoints : |
| Just sit back and watch the scenery unfold, through train's
large windows. Whatever train you ride, you'll enjoy great panoramas. For really breathtaking views, choose " scenic " routes such
as the GoldenPass Line in Switzerland or the California Zephyr in the USA. |
| |
|
Ultimate flexibility : |
| Frequent, regular services make it easy to plan your trip:
you can travel ( almost ) whenever you want. No need to adapt your itinerary
to the trains, they will adapt to you! |
| |
|
An experience in itself : |
| Your train journey can be a destination in itself. You will
love the thrill of a journey under the Channel by Eurostar, enjoy the
320km/h rides of French TGVs or you might prefer the serenity of a
picturesque 2 - day rail cruise onboard The Rocky Mountaineer... What will
you choose? |
| |
|
Travel in style : |
| No matter how long the trip is, comfort is always
enjoyable; why not treat yourself and upgrade to 1st Class? 1st Class
prices can be very reasonable, and you'll enjoy more legroom, larger seats
and onboard service which will make for a memorable trip. |
| |
|
Be mobile: |
| A great advantage of trains on other modes of transport:
you are free to move. You can easily walk in the train, admire the scenery
or socialise at the restaurant car... enjoy your journey as you wish ! |
| |
|
Save money : |
| Whether you go for a pass or a ticket, you'll always find
attractive prices with Rail Europe. Tickets can be very affordable when
booked in advance and passes not only offer discounts but can also make you
eligible for freebies or reductions. Also think of night trains: you save on
hotel costs while you travel! |
| |
|
Save time : |
| High Speed makes your travel easier! From Brussels, board
a Thalys early in the morning, visit Paris and the famous Eiffel Tower, do
some shopping and come back in the evening... all in one day. With overnight
trains, you sleep while you travel and wake up the next morning at
destination, fresh and ready to explore. |
| |
|
Meet the local : |
| Trains are also a very popular mode of transport! It's an
opportunity to meet the locals, learn more about their country and get tips
on the best secret destinations. |
| |
|
Be green : |
| And how about reducing your carbon footprint ? Today's high
speed rail systems are proven to be more environmentally friendly than air
or road travel. |
