Just got back from a two week train trip across Europe. Overall, found it very easy and accessible to move around.

Here’s the general itinerary:

  1. London to Brussels
  2. Brussels to Prague (night train)
  3. Prague to Vienna
  4. Vienna to Zurich (night train)
  5. Zurich to Bern
  6. Bern to Lyon
  7. Lyon to Nîmes
  8. Nîmes to Barcelona

The only train problem on the trip was our night train to Prague. The carriage was 28-30° C and very uncomfortable. Especially for a 16 hour trip.

The inconsistency of scheduling, signage and trip information was a challenge. Especially when you add in the language barriers.

My ranking of the train systems:

  1. Switzerland (obviously)
  2. Austria
  3. France
  4. Spain
  5. Czechia
