One of my best pieces of advice for when you go to Europe is do not be afraid of public transportation. Read on for a quick explanation of the easiest, cheapest way to book train and bus tickets in Europe!
If you live somewhere that you’re accustomed to driving all the time, using public transit may be new and scary for you. And that’s okay! The key is to be prepared, because no matter where you go in Europe, you’re not always going to be able to walk to everything you want to see.
Ask anyone who has vacationed with me- I’m devoutly pro-walking, much to the chagrin of most travel companions (especially on vacation to balance out the carbs). But it’s not always worth the extra time it takes or working up a sweat in your dinner fit.
Some cities have their own version of Lyft or Uber, taxis, or you can simply go to any public transit station and grab a ticket. But I think the easiest way to get around is to use the free app, Trainline, and I can’t understand why I didn’t hear about it before I went to Europe! It’s definitely the best option, unless you want to try to squeeze 6 people into a European taxi, which I don’t recommend.
What is Trainline and why is it the best way to book train and bus tickets in Europe?
