Trainline

One of the best ways to get around Europe? By taking advantage of the continent’s ample public transportation. Trains and buses get you around many countries with ease and, according to new data, one-third of Americans look to travel to Europe this summer, and 42 percent would be excited to travel Europe by train to see incredible landscapes.

Whether you want to book a train or bus journey around Europe for convenience, to save money on transportation costs or just to enjoy the scenery, consider using Trainline to find and purchase tickets. The travel provider allows you to compare tickets for journeys to and from thousands of destinations across 45 countries, and from nearly 300 different operators.

So, how does it work?

Log into the Trainline website or download the app and search for your travel destinations and times. If you have the app, you can further track your departure times and platform numbers after booking. You can use the app to hold your mobile tickets, making them conveniently available for use right when you need them, no printing or extra downloading required.

Trainline’s SplitSave feature allows you to save even more money by booking your trip as multiple tickets rather than one comprehensive ticket. This can cut down on costs and, no, there’ll be no need to switch trains midway through your journey.

Tickets can be booked in the currency of your choice and, from there, you can pay for your tickets in a variety of ways, including via Apple Pay or PayPal.
