Overnight train travel: sleeping on the move to save time
Leave in the evening, sleep as you roll, wake up somewhere else: the charm of the night train.
The night train has a special charm: you fall asleep somewhere and wake up elsewhere, without losing a day to transport. For a young traveller, it's also one less night of lodging to pay for. But sleeping well on a train takes a bit of preparation.
Choosing your spot wisely
Depending on the train, you'll get a simple seat or a berth. Book ahead, because the best options go fast and a reservation may be required. Think about comfort: the longer the trip, the more your choice of spot matters.
Sleeping and staying safe
Keep your valuables close and out of sight while you sleep. An eye mask, earplugs and a warm jumper turn an uncomfortable night into real rest. Stay alert at stops, especially if you're travelling alone.
The night train is a mini-adventure in itself. You save time, you save money, and you experience travel differently. Worth trying at least once when you love to move.
