Travelling through Europe by train is a must. Sadly most modern trains are sterile zip-locked contraptions.
In Eastern Europe you can still find trains with windows to peek out of and doors to dangle your legs from.
Maybe not the safest experience, but certainly the most memorable.
- morsch 6y agoUnfortunately, high speed rail isn't easily compatible with open windows. From what I understand, it's a safety concern when entering tunnels at high speeds or when passing an oncoming train. There's also aerodynamics to consider. I miss the windows, too. And it'd have been an easy (if drafty) way to make travel safer during the pandemic.
- lazyjones 6y agoIt was great in the 80s and 90s and young people should definitely try it before this means of travel disappears due to self-driving cars.
- Bayart 6y agoWell, in Eastern Europe you also can still find trains that go barely faster than walking speed. I can't imagine casually tangling legs from a TGV.
