Explore and Experience New Places by Train Travel

May 26, 2017 by admin

If being humble, kind and calm is on your ‘to-do’ list then travel more. As French novelist Gustave Flaubert said, “Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.”

International Rail is at your service to help you leave the tiny corner that you have occupied and explore the abundance of beauty that Mother Earth has to offer. Besides being affordable, flexible, comfortable and convenient, your train travel journey with International Rail would be fascinating as well.

Here are the top 3 places that deserve your undivided attention:

Turkey

Turkey is a unique country that offers the best of Asia and Europe. Be it the capital city Ankara, cultural & financial hub Istanbul, ski-town Bursa, beautiful ruins in Canakkale, or the Sufi town Konya, the Eurasian transcontinental country is an explosion of colorful culture. Train travel in Turkey is far more economical and faster than even bus travel! With InterRail Turkey Pass that starts from just £55, train tickets would end up being even more reasonable and affordable. Some of the rail journeys that you must set on are Istanbul to Ankara (5-9 hours), Ankara to Lake Van (30 hours), Ankara to Izmir (12-15 hours) and Eskisehir to Adana (14 hours).

Spain

Famous for siesta, football, paella, flamenco, bull-fighting and tapas, Spaniards know how to have a good time, no matter what. The top three places that you must visit when you are in Spain are Basilica of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Plaza de Espana in Seville, and the Prado National Museum in Madrid. To enjoy unlimited train travel within this European Iberian Peninsula country, invest in a Renfe Spain Pass or an Interrail Spain Pass. Both the rail passes are under £200 and come with additional benefits, such as discount on ferries, crossings, accommodations, museums, restaurants and a lot more. Spain’s most scenic, fast and luxurious train journeys include Barcelona to Catalonia, Seville to Granada, Tren de la Fresa (Strawberry Train) to Aranjuez and Madrid to Lisbon.

Bulgaria

Be prepared to feast your eyes on Bulgaria’s breathtaking landscapes when you travel from city to city by train. Plan a scenic trip from Sofia to Mezdra that offers the mesmerizing view of the Iskâr Gorge or from Septemvri and Bansko with mountain views of the Rila and Rhodope ranges. With International Rail’s InterRail Bulgaria Pass, you get to soak up the natural beauty of the country in just £55! During your stay, you could also visit Srebarna Nature Reserve, Sunny Beach on the coast of Black Sea, Belogradchik Fortress, Seven Lakes and Rila Monastery.
