Trains

I’ve been catching the train a bit more now that my destinations are closer together, and it’s so easy to buy a ticket online, get to the station and hop on board. I was recommended to check out the Man in Seat 61 website – https://www.seat61.com/ -and it is amazing. This guy has compiled a recommended list of train travel all over the world so you can look up how to book, what to book and useful tips before you go. Despite having looked up my trip from Copenhagen to Berlin I was surprised when my train got onto a boat for the crossing to Germany! It was in the site, I just missed it 🙂 So cool.

Train stations are pretty universally similar, so even though I can’t read the signs, normally I can navigate my way through without a problem. In Berlin though, the train station has 5 levels, each with multiple platforms and 16 tracks in total! Confusing. Worth allowing extra time if you’re arriving/transiting or departing from here just to figure out where you are. Oh and do buy a giant salted pretzel while you’re waiting for your train. Yummmmm.
