“So, do you fix the holiday on the rails”

“Keen on sunbathing and swimming in Greece or culture in Verona, but skeptical to fly?”

“It is fully possible to get a good vacation and go to far even with the train.”

“– Let the journey take the time and stop in several places, says Kristina Engdahl who is Helsingborg’s energy and climate adviser.”

“She has tågsemestrat in ten years, including to places such as Barcelona, Basel and Verona, and now at work even in missions that tell nordvästskåningar if transportrådgivning – for example, before the holidays.”

“to take the train To the holiday takes, admittedly, a few hours more. On the other hand, one also gets a chance to experience more, ” says Kristina Engdahl.”

“– You might get the time and maybe read a book. Or take a lunch in Hamburg?”

“Count on several exchanges if you are going out in Europe. Tip for those who want to travel on the rails is to take the minor stops along the way.”

“– One example was when I went to Greece on holiday, then we stopped in northern Italy in two days, ” says Kristina Engdahl.”

“Maybe you can take a few extra vacation days to get the properly with time to travel around. The go trains that go daylight saving time between Malmö and Berlin can expect a relatively smooth ride. To go by train to Barcelona is, however, a slightly longer history. The journey takes around 30 hours and includes the exchanges, according to Kristina Engdahl.”

“in other words, to not have too much of a hurry.”

” It is good to try to have some longer exchanges if it is possible so you do not miss the connecting train.”

“Pack light, so you won’t have to carry around heavy bags between trains at the stations. Sleep mask and earplugs can be nice to have on night trains. A Interrailkort gives the opportunity to go on more stretches for a longer period. But one should be aware of platsbokningar required on trains in some countries, such as France, says Kristina Engdahl.”

“Many of the Swedish passengers, who may have heard or experienced problems with timeliness and delays, perhaps shying away from the tip to ride the train in Europe. Sure, you could suffer delays, but worried like Kristina Engdahl does not need to be.”

“– Yes, it happens to mess up, even on the continent, but I have never experienced that it is a big problem.”

“● Greece – takes about two days including färjeöverfarten”

“● Berlin – the night train from Malmö during certain times of the year.”

“● Basel – the who go in the afternoon will arrive the day after.”

“● Barcelona takes about 30 hours.”

“● Paris takes about a day.”
