Here are some of his top picks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>London to Paris: Hasselhoff loves this route because the train travels under the sea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>London to Berlin: This route takes Hasselhoff to one of his favorite destinations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>London to Glasgow: Hasselhoff enjoys sleeping on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fivestarviews.co\/worlds-only-7-star-train\/\">train during this journey<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>St. Moritz to Zurich: The views along this route are breathtaking, according to Hasselhoff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fivestarviews.co\/aurora-expeditions-arctic-expedition-cruise-contest\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2578\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">You Could Win a Stunning $40,000 Arctic Cruise<\/a><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"why-travel-to-europe-by-train\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Travel to Europe by Train?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a recent survey by Trainline, 33% of Americans have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fivestarviews.co\/top-luxury-destinations-in-europe\/\">Europe at the top<\/a> 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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"cnvs-block-core-paragraph-1684926055100\"><strong><em>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fivestarviews.co\/win-a-glamorous-paris-vacation-with-grand-marnier\/\">Win a Glamorous Paris Vacation with Grand Marnier<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"the-prize\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Prize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trainline&#8217;s Chief Conductor will live like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fivestarviews.co\/spanx-founder-wants-to-send-you-on-a-solo-trip-to-this-celebrity-favorite-luxury-resort\/\">celebrity during their trip<\/a> with the chance to experience epic rail adventures from London to Paris, Barcelona to Madrid, or Rome to Florence.
