Interesting places in Europe that you can visit by train: check out the list for an unforgettable trip
The climate is changing and it is absolutely impossible to deny it, which is why traveling by environmentally friendly means of transportation is becoming increasingly popular. For example, more and more tourists are choosing to go on vacation by train.
For those who want to see Europe without polluting the air with air travel, Euronews has compiled seven interesting cities with good rail connections. An additional bonus is that these regions have a rather cool climate, so you can hide from the summer heat.
Amsterdam, the Netherlands
The always laid-back capital of the Netherlands offers leisurely strolls along canals and endless rows of colorful buildings with sharp roofs. Be sure to visit the Van Gogh Museum or the 17th-century Royal Palace.
Berchtesgaden, Germany
This small Bavarian town is home to a picturesque karst lake, so what can be better than to take a dip in the cool water of the alpine mountains? Moreover, the reservoir is surrounded by gentle green mountains. However, don't forget a sweater as the air can be really fresh in the evening.
Chamonix-Mont Blanc, France
The tourist town at the foot of the famous Mont Blanc is a land where coolness always reigns. You can enjoy the tranquility here or you can go from here to conquer the highest peak of the Alps. It will take three days on foot. Alternatively, you can take a cable car from Chamonix to Aiguille du Midi, a peak in the Mont Blanc massif with a height of 3842 meters.
Copenhagen, Denmark
The Danish capital is famous for its leisurely pace of life, rich culture and delicious beer. Stroll along Copenhagen's canals, head to the Designmuseum Danmark to admire the quirky interiors, or walk in the footsteps of 17th-century kings at Rosenborg Castle.
Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Fairy-tale spires and a maze of cobblestone streets are just part of the charm of Scotland's capital. Climb to the top of Arthur's Seat for a breathtaking view of the city ad enjoy the eternal coolness. The average winter temperature here is +1°C, and in summer, 15-17 degrees Celsius is considered a real heat wave by the locals.
Liverpool, United Kingdom
This city in England is likely to welcome you with rain and wind, as well as with a rich culture. The Beatles Story Museum, dedicated to the history of the legendary Liverpool Four, is worth a visit. Take a walk on the water on the Mersey Ferry and admire the Gothic Liverpool Cathedral from under an umbrella.
Oslo, Norway
The Norwegian fjords are a real business card of the country. And you can admire them without leaving the capital city of Oslo. You can swim in the refreshing waters of the fjord of the same name, have a picnic in the forest or go to explore the ruins of monasteries, listen to music at the Opera House or look at the Viking ships in the museum dedicated to them.
