ironbrew Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I did 2 Interails in my late teens a long time ago and they`re still the best holidays I`ve ever had. I still travel a lot by train for work and holidays and have used Interrail cards in recent years (Global and single country) on some trips. Unfortunately many night trains (Spain to France/Italy/Switzerland, Germany to Denmark etc) have been withdrawn in last 3 or 4 years (really hope Caledonian Sleeper can continue since night trains have many advantages that high-speed day trains or flights will never replace). There are still night trains within France and you have option of booking whole compartment for yourself with a supplement (amount depends on number of people but maximum is 70€ for one person having 4-bed compartment to themselves). No showers or anything but safe and comfortable and there are showers in all Paris stations and others in France. I also recommend seat61.com and for booking loco2 and capitainetrain (can keep reservation without paying for 20 days) are good especially for France. Modern stations have become like airports and I`ve noticed that rail passengers don`t speak to each other much but it`s still a great way to travel, see places and meet people. If we qualify for Euro 2016 there`ll be loads of threads about rail cards etc but fortunately there are loads of options in France and surrounding countries.

perthTam Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Long time since I did this but the best piece of advice I got then was not to spend every day on a train - don't try to travel across the whole of europe in one trip - we deliberately only visited 6 countries in total in 3 weeks.

Flora MaDonald Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 As McVince says, La Suisse is a must. If you happen to visit the Lord Nelson in Genève, bring my jacket back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
