The Shortest Train Routes in Europe

[Eric T. Pilgrim]

Whether you're looking to take in the scenery of the Swiss Alps, pass through the Italian countryside, or take a high-speed route to Paris, European train travel is a great way to see some of the continent's most beautiful sights. However, if you're travelling by train, it's worth keeping in mind that it can be expensive to travel across the continent, and you should consider how long you'll be on the road between trains. If you're looking to take a long journey, you should plan for a coffee break or a lunch break to break up the journey. You should also take into account that some trains are delayed or late, so you should plan your schedule around this.

If you're interested in a train journey through northern Italy, the Bernina Express is a great choice. The Bernina Express connects Chur and Tirano, and the journey takes about four hours. On the way, you'll get to see the awe-inspiring mountain scenery of the Arlberg Pass and the snowy peaks of the Oberalp Pass.

The Rhine-Main Railway is a UNESCO-listed route that passes through valleys, vineyards, and old villages. It also has some of the most impressive scenery along the route, particularly along the "Hundred Valleys".

The West Highland Line is a 264-kilometre route from the Scottish capital of Glasgow to the beautiful Scottish Highlands. This scenic route passes through rugged mountain scenery, misty lochs, and lush green countryside. It also offers a great way to see the country's northern coast.

The French high-speed rail network also has some great train routes. For example, the Frecciarossa, the fastest train in Italy, connects Venice to Bologna, Rome, and Florence in just over an hour. It also has stops in Lyon and Turin. In December 2021, a new route will connect Milan to Paris.

The Nightjet service will be extended to Berlin in June 2022. It will run three times a week in both directions, and will connect some of the major European cities. The Nightjet sleeper train will be able to make overnight stops in Germany, and will call at Basel and Bonn. It will also cross into Switzerland before reaching Berlin. The train will be operated by a partnership between the Austrian OBB and the Polish Railways.

The Nightjet train runs three times a week in both directions, using the same route that the original Orient Express did. The train is operated by PKP rolling stock. The train will leave Vienna at 7:40 p.m. and arrive in Paris at 9:42 a.m. It will then travel via Cologne, Strasbourg, and Munich before crossing into Switzerland at Basel.

The Nightjet train will also run between Berlin and Graz, linking the two cities in June 2022. The Nightjet will run three times a week in both direction, with a return trip three hours later. It will also call at Basel and Bonn, as well as other German stations along the way.

The Nightjet sleeper train will also run from Graz to Warsaw in 2022. The train will leave Graz at dinner time, and will cross the Polish border at Chalupki. After crossing the Polish border, it will continue through Krakow and Warsaw, arriving before 9 a.m.
