Unlock Europe’s Magic: 6 Perks of Train Travel with Railbookers

By CAA Saskatchewan

Exploring Europe is a bucket list item for many—exploring the history, culture, incredible cuisine, and hidden gems is exciting! There’s so much packed onto this continent, a single trip is never enough to experience everything travellers hope to see. So, how can you get the most out of your visits? 

Railbookers, one of CAA Travel’s trusted partners, believes that train travel is the most convenient way to see as much as possible! They specialize in expertly curated, customizable train vacations globally. They focus exclusively on train travel, offering seamless city-center connections, guaranteed seat reservations, and hand-picked hotels. Their all-in-one planning and insider expertise make it easy for you to enjoy a flexible, stress-free journey from start to finish! 

Why does the Railbookers team think this is the perfect way to travel Europe? Let’s look at six reasons to choose this for your next adventure! 

Gare Du Nord France Station

City-Center to City-Center Access 

If you want to start your adventure right in the heart of the action, arriving by train is what you need! Airports are often outside of their cities, whereas the train stations are typically located within the areas you’re likely to explore. Paris’ Gare du Nord and Rome’s Termini Station are excellent examples of this. Iconic landmarks will be nearby the moment you exit the train station. Don’t waste your trip commuting everywhere—focus on exploring with picture-perfect spots a short stroll away!

No Airport Hassles 

Long lines at security, baggage check-ins, waiting in crowded boarding lounges...can you feel your stress levels rising? If you want to explore more of Europe, hopping from plane to plane and dealing with all the time you must waste jumping through the hoops of an airport lessens the enjoyment of the entire trip. When you travel by train, you hop on board shortly after arriving and start the journey! The boarding process is much more relaxed, and there are no pesky liquid restrictions to prevent you from sitting back and relaxing with your favourite coffee as your adventure starts.

Comfort and Space 

No one wants to spend their travel time stuck in their seat, feeling more cramped and uncomfortable with every passing hour. On a train, you can walk around, stretch your legs, go from your seat to the dining car, and feel more comfortable throughout your journey! Those scenic views we mentioned before also offer you some extra entertainment while you’re relaxing.
