Why Travel to Europe by Train?
According to a recent survey by Trainline, 33% of Americans have Europe at the top of their summer travel list. But why travel to Europe by train? Hasselhoff explains that he loves the romance and convenience of train travel. Each time you pull into a new town or village, it’s a different culture, and you get to see incredible landscapes along the train routes. Train travel is also more hassle-free than other forms of transportation, and it allows you to truly experience Europe in a way that flying or driving does not.
