TRAVELLING AROUN EUROPE

KNOW YOUR TRAINS

Europe is criss-crossed by high-speed trains with names like fashion labels, most of which require seat reservations, even if you’re travelling on a rail pass (see #5 below). In the beginning, there was the TGV and the Eurostar, now there’s also the SJ, RJ and AVE, not to mention the ICE (Intercity Express trains in Germany), the Euromed (in Spain), the Thalys (Belgium), the SuperCity (Czech Republic), the Railjet (Austria) and Le Frecce (Italy), just to name a few.
