In Europe, it is very popular to travel by train. Not only that Europe is well covered by railways, but you can see many beautiful things by taking a ride on a train. Here are more reasons why travel trough Europe by train.
You see the landscape
When you are 42000 ft in the sky you can't really see much except the clouds, right? But when you are on the train you get the vibe of the country. You can see the beautiful landscape, the mountains rising to the sky, the people rushing to their jobs and birds flying trough the sky.
You meet people
I don't know what's with the trains but people always love to chat on the train. You can meet people from various places, from different cultures and with diverse knowledge. And most importantly by meeting the locals you can get the real picture of the place and you "feel" the culture.
It is cheaper
The train is way cheaper than a plane. And you can take the "Global pass" ticket and you can visit all the countries you like. The price of that ticket is around 500€ (546$) and you can travel for a month wherever and whenever you like. Think how much it would cost that kind of ticket for a plane.
You can change your plans
When you have booked plane you can't really say "I want to stay for a couple of days more", but if you are traveling by train you can. If you like the place you stay a bit longer and if not you just hop on the next train.
Train is always on time
I remember when we had to spend 8 hours on the London's airport because of the delayed flight. It would be shopping time if this would not happen at 1 AM and all the stores were closed. But train will be on time no matter the weather.
