Hi, Im going on a trip all across Europe. Ill be visiting about five countries in Western Europe all of them are really huge. Ive heard that traveling by train is very popular in Europe. But since all of the countries Ill be visiting are members of the European Union there are all these low cost air lines that will get you from one country to another for a ridiculously low price. So do you use trains for travelling?

Hello, it is true that in Europe trains are becoming a more popular way to travel and there are a lot of reasons why it is so. First of all in a train you can stretch your legs as much as you want to while the train is in motion you can also, at some point, even go for a walk. That is a big plus since most people who travel by air complain of back pains and cramps. You can go to the rest room at any time which is also really practical. Most of the trains in the European Union have power sockets in the coupes which can be really useful if youve got your laptop with you or any other electronic device. It is also true that most European air companies have extremely low air fares but trust me you can get all sorts of discounts when buying train tickets. Interrail is well known for providing discounts on international travel by train. If you havent been traveling by train recently you will be pleasantly surprised because the hygiene is on a really good level now. I always travel by train.
