Travelling by train isn’t just a more sustainable way to explore—it’s the perfect way to immerse yourself in the stunning scenery and cultures of Europe. Forget queueing at airport security or worrying about baggage weight; with rail journeys, you can sit back, stretch your legs, and watch the world go by. What makes many of these journeys even better is they begin in London with the Eurostar, making it easier than ever to skip the airport altogether.
