By chance, I took a few exterior pictures at some point with the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. It was in a smaller train station in Vienna, with no customers, so most likely for cleaning, food supplies, etc. For those who don't know about it, it's a luxury train that runs mainly on the Paris-Venice route, and it's composed of restored Art Deco carriages from the 1920s.

I guess some enjoy even my bad pictures. 🤣😂 Here's a regional train (S-Bahn) from Austria. View quoted note →

And, of course, my profile picture with two Italian Frecciarossa trains in Milano Centrale. View quoted note →

Starting today, you can book SNCF tickets for January 9 to March 29. I will present to you a sample route, but I might come back with other examples since I'm interested in a few more destinations. Paris (Gare de Lyon) to Cannes The journey begins at 08:22 and after 5h06m arrives in Cannes at 13:28. The train has two more stops at no extra cost: Antibes (at 13:41) and Nice (at 14:06). €19 for an adult, €8 for a child. For us, two adults and a child, it costs €46, but I prefer to pay €3/adult extra to reserve the seats with a table on the upper deck. Kids' reservation is free, and on the lower deck is €7 for an adult.

Welcome to Trainstr! #introductions I will mainly address travelling to/from Austria, Italy and France. Secondarily, Germany, the Czech Republic and Switzerland. I am based in Austria, and my focus will be on long-distance travel, but I will offer all kinds of tips for local and regional trains, from ways to reduce prices to the most beautiful routes. As an example, every year the Menton Lemon Festival takes place in the South of France. Between the 14th of February and the 1st of March, "Fête du Citron" is a magnificent event, especially for families. I won't focus on train reviews, the YouTube is full of them, but on beautiful journeys that can be affordable, especially if you travel as a family, like I do. I will also post about promotional prices, when it's the case, and ticket sales openings. If you ever see a route and want it adapted for your needs, I should be able to help because sometimes I just look into train routes out of curiosity. That being said, I hope that my posts will inspire you to travel. #travel #trains
