Best Places To Visit in Europe | Interrail / Eurrail Adventures

March 8, 2019 by Emme

When it comes to Europe travel it can get a little overwhelming, but if you have the luxury of a month long itinerary and a huge network of trains to take you wherever you want to go – how do you decide? These are my top 5 stops…

BASEL

If I could speak German I would live here (and I almost did!) The landscape, nature, people and way of life here took my breath away. Switzerland is like no other place I’ve been and it will always have a very special place in my heart. If you love insane mountains, lakes and nature, this should be top of your list.

SEVILLE

Another place I seriously considered moving to; I didn’t know what to expect with this city so naturally it exceeded all of my expectations! I had some of the best Tapas and Sangria of my life here and afternoon siestas are something I could really get used to. If you’re a lover of amazing food, lots of sunshine and wonderful people – you must go!

VENICE

A city built with canals instead of roads isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it really is part of the unique charm of Venice. Don’t even bother with a map because you’ll get lost anyway! I loved this city from the moment the train pulled in; if incredible architecture, art and culture is your thing, plan a stop here.

BARCELONA

Probably one of the more obvious destinations on this list, and for good reason; beautiful Barcelona is so full of fun and life you’ll never be bored. The infamous Gothic Quarter with its adorable boutiques and cafes stole my heart, and I think La Boqueria Market was the best I’ve ever been to. If you’re looking for beaches, unique shopping and awesome nightlife, head here.

NAPLES

Definitely not for the faint hearted, Naples isn’t a spot for the glamorous traveller, but that’s exactly what won me over. It’s a city that’s unapologetically itself, with its own volcano and the best ‘za IN THE WORLD, it was always going to be on my top 5 places to go. Another huge bonus is the direct ferry to Capri and train to Pompeii, which are an absolute must if you pass through. For pizza, history and one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world, Naples is your answer.
