]]>Flexibility
With one Eurail Pass, you’ll have access to train networks in 33 countries, making cross-border travel easy if you plan on visiting multiple countries. What’s more, you’ll be able to take unlimited trips during the time period you sign up for, meaning that you can visit as many cities and sites as you desire for the same price.
Seat Reservations
With the Eurail Pass, you’ll be able to perform seat reservations, which is sometimes mandatory when booking certain high-speed lines. Even for those lines where pre-booking is not required, reserving your seat in advance will help to limit your stress before your trip.
No Planning Necessary
When buying individual tickets, you’ll need to ensure that you book for the correct stations and timeslots, which requires serious planning. With a Eurail Pass, you’ll be able to take whatever train rides you require at the time, aside from some lines where you need to make a reservation ahead of time.

]]>Train travel has unique advantages that can be taken advantage of even more by purchasing a Eurail Pass, a special ticket that allows you to travel how and as much as you want over a set period of time. Let’s check out some of its top advantages.
Unlimited Travel
A Eurail Pass will allow you to travel literally as much as you want on trains during the length of its validity, no matter where you want to go or at what time. This gives you the option of taking it slow or going at a manic pace or alternating between the two during your time in Europe.
Flexibility
Have you ever ended up visiting a city that you wanted to spend more time in, or on the other extreme, one that you felt like skipping? Having a Eurail Pass will allow you to spend as much time as you want in any given place, and even make an unexpected stop in a city that you hadn’t planned for.
See the Landscape
One of the main reasons that I love traveling by train is the opportunity it gives you to see the landscape and countryside of new places up close and personal. Traveling solely via Eurail is a great way to do this, letting you see a whole continent as it passes by.

]]>These are the best experiences that you shouldn’t miss while on a long train ride.
Take in the Landscape
One of my favorite things about traveling via train is that you get a close-up and personal look at the landscape that you cross while going from place to place. Whether it’s observing the Australian desert or the small towns of Spain, there are so many interesting landscapes and things to see while riding on a train.
Chat with Your Neighbor
If you aren’t the shy type, a long train voyage can be a perfect opportunity to make new friends and meet new people. Why not try striking up a conversation with the person or people sitting next to you while on your trip? You might just make a friend for life.
Have Something in the Dining Car
Long train journeys almost always include a dining car option, where you can live the unique experience of having a meal or a drink while on a train. Watch the landscape pass by as you dig into a sandwich or steak and you’ll be experiencing one of the most romantic parts of train travel.

Can you imagine this being your daily commute?! It actually was mine – for two winter seasons when I was working up in Wengen at a ski rental shop. Miss those times!Enough Room to Move
Your children will be so much happier if they don’t need to be tied to a seat. In trains, they can move around which will make traveling more comfortable for the whole family.
Less Stress
Most of Europe has good trains and the destinations are often relatively close to one another. Compared to flying, you can get to your destination faster and cheaper, and train stations are often more conveniently located than airports. You don’t have to be there a few hours ahead and everything is just smoother.

On the train, there are a toilet and food you can order, so traveling by train will feel so much better than traveling in any other way. You can even book a sleeping car if you’re traveling at night. The views from the train windows are often amazing, too!

]]>Bring Study Materials
If you’re a student who is planning on riding a train on your next vacation, you might find it a good idea to bring books and materials for studying while riding on the train. It’s easy to completely forget about your studies while traveling, but why not use the time on the train to stay up-to-date?
Use Your Phone’s Network for Internet Connection
Trains may or may not offer WiFi, but you needn’t worry about this. Almost all smartphones offer the option to share your phone’s wireless internet connection on a WiFi connection that you can use on your computer in order to access the internet and stay productive.

]]>Extra Comfort
The train will provide you with more legroom than a plane or a bus, and many of them come with sleeper cabins. You can also move freely and stretch your legs whenever you want to without bothering anyone.

Taking a train is one of the most affordable ways of traveling, no matter when or where you’re thinking of going. You can also travel with as much luggage you want to without paying expansive baggage fees.
Stunning Scenery
You can enjoy beautiful views during your train ride, and get a better sense of a country you’re traveling through while looking out the window.
– I found myself (again) saying the sentence “I just love trains” today. It’s a stereotypically geeky arrangement of words but I stick to it whole heartedly. It is the best form of transport – such a luxury to just sit there in comfort as the world speeds past the window. This was taken on a train journey through the Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan and was top 3 train rides of our lives. What are your favourite train journeys?
Good Connection
Unlike airports, train stations are often located in the very heart of the city, and you won’t have a hard time getting to the city center once you reach your final destination.

]]>The post Would You Survive on this Extreme African Train Ride? appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>One of these experiences that is a must for anyone looking to do extreme tourism is a ride on the Mauritania Railway, this North African country’s only rail line.
The ride on this 700-kilometer train is free, and you won’t have to pay anything to do this experience once you arrive in the northern port city of Nouadhibou. So, why is this?
This train line actually isn’t designed for passengers. It is actually meant to serve the huge loads of iron ore that are mined in the desert of the country so that it can be shipped to a port city and then exported throughout the world.
This means that the carriages that leave Nouadhibou are empty after having brought iron ore to the port. What do travelers do, then?
Well, they hop into the empty carriages, which offer no protection from the Saharan sun or the cold nights of the desert, and they head off for a ride which can last over 12 hours.
It might seem extreme, but this experience is completely unique and gives humans a free view of some of the most beautiful desert landscapes on the planet.
Would you be brave enough to ride on the Mauritanian Railway?

]]>If you are looking to visit Machu Picchu, one of the best ways to do so is to start from the larger city of Cusco. The train that goes to the architectural site from Cusco is an absolutely unforgettable and magical experience.
Visitors have two different companies to choose from for the journey between Cusco and Aguascalientes (the closest town to Machu Picchu): Inca Rail and Peru Rail.
Both companies offer various train options for the journey. The most common and most economical, known as the Expedition Train (Peru Rail) and the Voyager Train (Inca Rail) features cabins that have massive windows, providing excellent views of the mountains and valleys that characterize the Andean landscape.
Both companies also offer luxury options that include live entertainment, food, and drinks typical of the area. If you are looking for a nicer option or want to sample the area’s cuisine, these trains are a fantastic option.
