Long-distance train travel is having a moment it seems. Whether the appeal is the old-school romance of being rocked to sleep on the rails, perhaps waking up in another country, concerns about climate change and the carbon footprint of flying, or a desire to experience slow travel and take in more of your surroundings on your journey, a sleeper train offers the perfect combination of travel and accommodation in one.
Taking a night train across Europe “is an exceptionally convenient, efficient and budget-friendly way to explore the region”, said Rail Europe. That’s because the price of your ticket also covers the cost of a night’s accommodation. “So take the money you would have spent on a hotel and add another leg onto your trip or splurge at your next destination.”
