On Friday 12th July, I was lucky enough to secure a ticket to the EURO 2024 final to watch England play Spain in Berlin. However, with the game just 2 days away on Sunday 14th July, I had to figure out how to get from London to Berlin and then back again at very short…

After 6 days in the South of France (see here and here) I headed for Italy! My first stop in Italy was Genoa and I took the train from Cannes. This journey took about 4 hours 30 minutes and involved taking two different trains. I spent this time learning some basic Italian phrases to get…

After two days in Nice, I took a train to Cannes for three nights. I stayed in the most beautiful Villa opposite the beach, Villa Belle Rive. The villa is also right beside the train stop which is always a plus when you are carrying a backpack. There are two train stops in Cannes, (I…

I arrived in the French Riviera for 7 nights at the end of March. Looking back, I can now say for sure that when I was in Nice and Cannes, I did not get the same ‘backpacker feel’ as I did in the weeks after. Saying that, I spent 6 magnificent days here and there…

After enjoying the sun, the charming South European atmosphere, and a daily temperature of 30-34 degrees Celsius for about two weeks, we needed a climate change. We got up early and walked to Verona train station. The train headed north through a fantastic landscape while we were eating our breakfast. Then, the train doors opened,…

Hello and welcome to this 4-part series about our recent trip around Europe last summer. We are a young Danish couple named Hjalte and Laura – aged 19 – who both graduated from high school last summer. Last December, we decided that we would take a gap year before starting university and we wanted this…

Tim Eustace is re-telling his summer interrail adventure from Oslo to Venice. This is the first blog of a four part series. Covering over 5,000km on trains (by my rough calculations) this summer is going to be spent wisely. Being a teacher, I’ve naturally planned this trip thoroughly, but there’s no accounting for twists and…

After my change at Brussels, I arrived in Lille – my final city! As I stepped out of the station, I was greeted with the sight of the Euro 2016 Lille fan zone being deconstructed, which wasn’t a particularly pretty sight. However, once I’d made it past that, the views did get better. Cobbled streets,…

The train from Bonn to Cologne was the shortest journey I’ve had in a long time – only 30 minutes! It didn’t feel like a travel day at all, but there I was in a new city ready to start afresh. After checking into the hostel, it was time to get my bearings. Walking down…

Arriving in Bonn, I faced the disaster that the modern day interrailer hopes never to have to endure – my phone maps had broken! With my large rucksack, there I was, wandering around a foreign city without a clue. However, I had the directions for the train station to the hostel on my phone –…

Upon arrival in Stuttgart, I quickly realised I was in quite a different city to Zurich. Seemingly more of an industrial city than Zurich, with a fair bit of construction work occurring, it was initially a bit of a shock to the senses. However, by the time I’d checked into the hostel and made myself…

When taking trains across Europe, much like at home, you can’t choose your fellow passengers. I say this because, at the time of writing, I am sat opposite a very chatty small child and his family. However, this journey to Stuttgart is a shorter one (only 3 hours) so perhaps my patience can hold out!…

Change in Germany, another change in Austria and 10 minutes later, there I’d arrived in the Principality of Liechtenstein. A tiny little country nestled between Switzerland and Austria, I mainly decided to come here for the hell of it – worst case scenario, it was just another European country to tick off the list. But…

After a bit of a rushed departure from the train, I was in Munich! Stepping out of the main station, one thing became apparent to me – it was raining. Great. I suppose I couldn’t avoid it indefinitely, so I prepared myself for a bit of a soaking on my way to the hostel. Checking…

Passports checked, train engine changed, welcome to Slovenia! Stepping off the train from Zagreb, unfortunately I didn’t have much time to take in the sights as I’d originally hoped. About 10 minutes later, I was back on a train. Then, after two more changes, I was finally in Graz, in Austria. So in total, I…

Just like that, I was in Zagreb! My train arrived on time, in the capital of Croatia. It was certainly a pleasant change from my previous arrivals, hopefully it sets the standard of my future journeys. Ditching my bag in the hostel, I realised that I’d entered the European Union once again – marked by…

When I last updated this blog, I was sat in a cafe in Nis waiting for a later-than-expected train. Where am I now you ask? Well, I’m sat in an air-conditioned train travelling from Belgrade to Zagreb – one which left exactly on time as well! I’m as surprised as you are, it almost feels…
