If you conduct a survey among Russians on the topic "What kind of transport do you prefer to use when going on a trip abroad?", Then the airplane will definitely be in the lead. It allows you to quickly get to anywhere in the world, and in recent years, airfare prices have become more than affordable. But, unfortunately, not all people tolerate even short-term air travel well, for example, to Europe. This may be due to medical conditions, phobias, or simply a dislike for this type of travel. What to do when you want to go on vacation and the plane is not available? In this case, you should consider traveling to Europe by train. Our article is devoted to all the features of such a trip.

Russian Railways: trains to Europe

Residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg are in a more advantageous position than Russians living in other regions of the country. After all, it will be much more difficult for the latter to get to Europe, but Muscovites can easily do it by train. Such routes have always existed, but in recent years they have been in high demand, and in the summer season Russians are often faced with a lack of tickets to the desired country.

You can travel by train to Europe alone, with your family or with a big noisy company. In any case, you will be provided with comfort and convenience, because there is some special charm in quiet observation of the landscapes passing by under the uniform sound of wheels. This is how many people imagine the ideal vacation.

From Moscow and St. Petersburg by train to Europe, you can get to many countries. Of course, not all routes involve a direct route from one point to another, but experienced travelers consider this a minor inconvenience. In addition, they travel by train to Europe in completely different ways. Russians can go unorganized, that is, independently, or they can purchase a tour at an agency. Since rail travel abroad is still something unfamiliar to most of our compatriots, we decided to consider these options in more detail.

Travel with travel agencies

Almost all Russian agencies sell package tours to Europe. Over the years, various programs have been developed that can satisfy even the most demanding taste. Moreover, almost all routes are in stable demand. Travel agents praise such trips in every way, listing their advantages. Among them:

  • maximum safety;
  • low cost;
  • the opportunity to get acquainted with different cities in a short period of time;
  • ease of movement between countries.

To date, tours to Europe are represented by four main programs: summer and winter holidays, combined and excursion.

Beach vacation

Every year, with the onset of warmth, more and more of our compatriots are sent to Europe by train to the sea. Such tours allow you to get acquainted with intermediate settlements along the way and ultimately rest for a few days at a popular European resort. Sometimes the travel program also includes an excursion program. Most often, Russians go to the sea to the following countries:

  • Italy.
  • Bulgaria.
  • France.

The cost of such a tour ranges from one and a half thousand euros in twelve days (it should be borne in mind that you will spend about a day on the road to Europe).

Winter travelers to Europe

With the onset of the first frost, Russians rush to European ski resorts. More than sixty percent of the total number of extreme sports fans travel to Europe by train. And these are pretty good indicators for Russian Railways. Basically, our compatriots go to Poland, Finland and Norway. Some experienced tourists with transfers go to France or Spain.

The cost of such a tour starts from six hundred euros, which is quite inexpensive for an active and comfortable stay.

Combined travel tours

This is a rather difficult type of travel. Usually tourists take a train to Brest, and then from there they pass several European cities by bus. At the end point of the trip, the Russians will have a rest for five to seven days. Such a tour can only be taken by experienced tourists who are ready to spend a long time on the road.

Excursion package tours

Such a vacation is usually in demand in early spring and late autumn, when there is a certain decline in tourist activity in the main areas. In some cases, tourists take the train directly to their destination. Then they can see only one. Another variant of such a tour resembles a combined one and has the same scheme with it, the difference is that its price includes excursions in all cities of destination. A similar pleasure costs 700 euros.

Independent travel to Europe by train: general characteristics

If you are not afraid to plan your trips on your own, then going to Europe by train is definitely your option. You can visit almost any European country, because here the railway system is very well developed. It is worth noting that crossing the border, you find yourself in a special world where the most common mode of transport is the train. For a European, such travel is the most convenient, so you will enjoy comfortable and clean carriages, polite conductors and a well-developed infrastructure of railway stations.

Train tickets to Europe are mainly bought at the box office, many of them are not sold via the Internet. But on the official website of Russian Railways, you can always see all possible trains in the section " International routes", but you will have to pay for the ticket already at the station.

In Europe, the situation with train tickets is similar: some of them are sold only through ticket offices, and payment by card will raise the cost by five to twenty percent. Inexperienced travelers often learn this fact from their own sad experience.

I would like to add that both Russian and European trains are very comfortable. You will not have to shake for a day in a crowded wagon with an unpleasant smell. By deciding on a rail trip to Europe, you will discover a completely different world.

How to get to Europe?

If you have never traveled abroad by train, then before buying tickets, you need to find out a few nuances, without knowing which it will be difficult to plan your trip.

Types of wagons

The carriages of international trains are made according to European standards. They are divided into first and second grade. The difference between the two is the number of passengers. In addition, the first class is somewhat more spacious than the second. Also, the difference may lie in the seating comfort. Therefore, it is important not to confuse the class of carriages when buying train tickets at the box office.

Moscow: where can you go by train?

Finland, France, Czech Republic, Holland - these and many other countries you can visit if you choose the railway option and buy a train ticket to Europe from Moscow. Prices, by the way, do not always depend on the distance traveled. For example, you can get from Moscow to Paris for 500 euros, and a trip to Helsinki will cost 100 euros.

Many Muscovites go straight to Helsinki, and then continue their journey across Europe by ferry or other train. This significantly reduces the cost of travel, especially if you take care of the ticket. With its help, you can travel all over Europe in a few days and save at least 200 euros on these movements.

SPb: where do the trains go?

The choice of train from St. Petersburg to Europe is rather limited. Now residents of the northern capital can get to Finland, the Czech Republic and Tallinn. The fare starts from 250 euros.

You can get to Tallinn in a sit-down car, this innovation appeared about a year ago. Of course, this method of travel is not the most comfortable, but the price can completely change your opinion about such trips - 1,300 rubles. Many students take advantage of this great opportunity to get to Europe for symbolic money.

Rail Trip Planning: Highlights

So you've decided to travel to Europe by train. How to start preparing for your trip? What to look for and how to save on tickets? Let's take a closer look at these questions.

First of all, you need to work out the travel route itself. Your main goal will be to choose a location in Europe to which you will travel by train. It will be much easier to move further.

Keep in mind that Russian Railways allows tickets to be purchased 60-90 days in advance. At this point, you can purchase the cheapest tickets. In the future, they will be more expensive. Before buying, pay attention to the possible discounts, they are seasonal or targeted. On some routes, the Russian Railways service allows booking a ticket via the Internet, followed by a twelve-hour redemption at the box office.

Once in Europe, calculate how often you plan to travel by train. If there are a sufficient number of such trips, then purchase a single travel ticket, which is sold at any ticket office or on the website. It is of three types:

  • for one country;
  • for all European countries;
  • for a certain number of days.

Keep in mind that there is no single service for buying train tickets in Europe. Each country has its own website.

You can buy a ticket not only via the Internet, but also at ticket offices, shops and special machines. If possible, pay in cash - this significantly reduces its cost.

When buying a ticket, carefully look at the train designation - it can be high-speed and local. The first can travel half of Europe in a matter of hours and practically without stopping, but the second will slow down at every station.

And in conclusion, I would like to tell you one small, but very important secret regarding European trains: the doors to the carriage do not open automatically, for this there is a special button inside and outside. Keep this in mind, otherwise you will not get on the train and your journey through Europe will never begin.

Rail tours are a great option for those who prefer to travel by train... In this section of the site travel company"Club Eight Trips" You can get acquainted with those directions and types of tours, where the main transport, delivering tourists to their destination, is the train. Benefits of this kind tourist trips obvious - speed and convenience. For example, many people get seasick in cars and buses, and the smooth, measured movement of wagons on the rails does not cause discomfort. Russian Railways trains do not have to get stuck in traffic jams, they are comfortable to sleep in at night, especially in comfortable seats in a compartment or NE.

Save money on buying a train ticket

How to save on travel costs by buying train tickets?

Summer vacation season is coming interesting entertainment and travel, which means that now you need to take care of purchasing train tickets... The fact is that the cost of tickets will increase significantly in the warm season.

If you book your tickets one to two months before the trip, then you will be given a discount. Of course, the discount is given not for all routes, but for many. For example, you can profitably leave the capital for Brest, Kaliningrad, Vilnius and Voronezh by purchasing a ticket in advance. The discount applies to the purchase of tickets for compartment carriages, as well as for luxury and SV. If you go on a trip on a working day, then the fare will be cheaper than on weekends, when there are much more people who want to travel.

If tickets are not selling well, then the staff railroad sometimes they are offered for very little money, so long as the cars are not empty. If you take care of purchasing your ticket in advance, your chances of saving will increase. Sometimes, even on the day of the train departure, you can "catch" a profitable option if the demand for tickets is very low. The discount can range from 10 to 35 percent. Most often, a flexible system of discounts is practiced in trains that run from the capital to Belgorod, Anapa, Murmansk and Adler. You can track profitable routes on the official website of the railway.

Teach that the discount does not apply to all places, but only to those that are less convenient. If this is not important for you, then buy a ticket to the top shelf in second-class carriage... Let you give up comfort, but save money. It is advantageous to choose a route when the train leaves the station very early, or early arrival at the point of departure. If it is convenient for you to get to the station, then feel free to send on an early trip. The difference in the price of tickets for a train departing from the platform at 4-5 am and a train departing, for example, at 8 am, will be 20-15 percent.

You will receive bonus points for every train ride. When buying a ticket for subsequent times, ask the cashier to write off the bonuses. This will make it possible to buy a ticket at a lower price. Before you start accumulating points, you need to register on the official website of Russian Railways.

Preparing for the trip

What to take on the train?

You have a long train ride ahead of you and don't know what to take with you? This article will help you solve this seemingly simple question.

  • Passport, tickets and money top the list of things to remember and keep to yourself at all times. For the convenience of storing such items, you can purchase a small bag. The main thing is not to lose sight of it or to put it in a safe place.
  • Clothing. Comfort is essential on the train, so prepare for yourself a set of changeable clothes. It can be too hot in the carriage, sports shorts and a lightweight T-shirt will suit any passenger. If the trip takes place in the cold season, then a knitted warm sweater will not be superfluous.
  • Food. Some people prefer to eat in the dining car, buy a variety of pastries and cheap drinks. Other passengers prepare several meals in advance or purchase groceries in stores before the trip. You should not have a feast and do a lot of salads, hot dishes and desserts. Think about what food will not spoil during your voyage.

Make sure you have enough water. It is better not to take soda and juices on the road, as their use will only make you thirsty. For a snack, try fresh fruit and a variety of berries, nuts, or light cookies.

If your carriage is overcrowded, the conductor may not have enough cutlery. Better take your little one dish set, as well as a mug made of thick plastic, which will not allow it to break during movement.

  • Personal hygiene products... Put a toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, and soap in your personal makeup bag. Grab some face or hand cream. Do not forget to have wet wipes and a small towel, as the standard linen on the trains is not always of high quality and tidy.
  • Put all the necessary medications in a separate compact bag. It is worth taking care of your health and the occurrence of unforeseen situations. You may need pills for head and abdominal pain, patches, allergy medications, sedatives, and sleeping pills.
  • If you find it difficult to fall asleep to extraneous sounds, get earplugs and a special sleep mask that will protect you from the light of the night lamps in the carriage. Now a loud company in the next compartment will not create inconvenience.
  • Entertainment. To avoid boredom on the road, buy a book, a magazine with a crossword puzzle, or playing cards. But the best escape from melancholy is having a good companion.

Get ready for your trip in advance, pack your things in accordance with a pre-compiled list.

Have a comfortable trip and good travel companions!
