The article reflects on the author's experience traveling across Europe by train, embracing the scenic beauty and local culture. With a Eurail Pass, the journey begins in Paris and extends through Reims, Mainz, Freiburg, and Zurich, showcasing stunning agricultural landscapes and vibrant food scenes. Train travel encourages a slower pace, making room for reading and socializing, distinct from hectic airport travel. Highlights include visiting lesser-known destinations, fostering connections with local farmers and chefs, and utilizing the Eurail app for trip planning.
In springtime, there are trees heavy with fruit blossoms and bright yellow rapeseed fields. Plus, there's plenty of space to stretch your legs and time to visit the cafe car for a cappuccino.
Instead of airports and taxis, my travel time became part of the story-reading, writing, and daydreaming in sun-drenched train cars, and arriving in the city center ready to explore.
Eurail acts as a synthesizer of Europe's train lines, connecting travelers to 30,000 destinations across 33 countries.
One of my favorite parts about train travel is how it brings you to less popular destinations... all it takes is a Eurail Pass to hop on a train.
