Destinations by train

As the saying goes, “Life is a journey”. And journeys are best enjoyed when we appreciate not only the destination, but also the journey.

Compared to flying or driving, traveling by train has a much smaller carbon footprint.

And even if things don't always run smoothly when traveling by train, it's still more relaxed than crowded airports and congested highways.

OUR TOP 3 TRAVEL DESTINATIONS

1. SEA - RÜGEN

TRAIN FOR THE COASTLINE

In less than four hours from Berlin, you can travel by train to another world, a place where time seems to flow with the tides - the historic island of Rügen in the Baltic Sea. Its white beaches and unspoiled forests form a landscape where you can hear the raw voice of nature. For those looking for a more sustainable kind of coziness - what the Danes call “hygge” - GOOD TRAVEL recommends Villa Hygge, a lovingly restored gem from the 1920s, not far from the spa town of Binz.

2. CITY - BERLIN

CITY TRAINING

City trips by train are a classic. Also a classic, but never boring: the historic capital and hotspot for art and culture, Berlin. The metropolis can be reached by train from all over Central Europe.

The next time you are looking for accommodation in the capital, GOOD TRAVEL recommends the Wilmina Hotel in Charlottenburg. The former women's prison has undergone an exciting and sustainable transformation and now offers a rooftop pool as well as an award-winning bar and restaurant.

3. NATURE - TIROL

TRAIN FOR THE MOUNTAINS

In just 3 hours by train from Munich, you can breathe in the purest Alpine air in Tyrol - a historic region in Austria famous for skiing and its folk traditions. For more eco-friendly accommodation, GOOD TRAVEL recommends the cool but traditional Summit Lodges in Pfunds, located in the immediate vicinity of the Pfundser Tschey - one of the most beautiful valleys in the region.
