This might be Train X Europe, but why not show a little of the US from my last trip? The Northeast Corridor has the best travel experiences in the country for visitors, not least the gargantuan NYC subway

#NoFilterNeeded - because this is Switzerland 🇨🇭

📍 Murgs, to be exact
Also Liechtenstein 🇱🇮

Unique wines and beers, amazing lakes, and even Zurich has a bit of an old town to look at (despite it's reputation as a bit of a soulless financial centre)

@seatsixtyone.bsky.social A wee update for you - Girona train/bus station does *not* have luggage lockers.

Plenty of people online saying they exist, but can confirm today that if they ever did, there are none extant now!

Venlo - An Underrated Stop on Summer Euro-Trips 🇳🇱👍

What underrated stops have you found on your trips this summer?

Might not be as famous as the big cities, but Venlo is a great example of what flight free travel can do to make a trip more unique, interesting, and sustainable!

Cable Car Ride to Oberbozen / Soprabolzano 🚠🇮🇹

📍Rittner Seilbahn

There's a whole town above Bolzano, up in the Alpine clouds - you can take a cable car there, not far from Bolzano train station. once you arrive, a mountain railway takes you around the high plateau...

Little Destinations: Kempen 🇩🇪

You might not plan a whole flight free trip across Europe with little towns like Kempen in mind, but they make a great stop on any travel day!

Unassuming, Kempen still has a nice historic center with a castle and raised windmill, nice parks and cafes

Tiny travel destinations
📍Schlitz, Germany

Find a little gem like this when you go just one step off the main routes! Fulda is a crossroads for high speed intercity rail service, yet a little bus out of Fulda takes you to a charming, old fashioned German town 🏰🇩🇪

FTM narrow gauge train
Mezzocorona to Val di Non 🚞🇮🇹

In Trentino, a narrow gauge train connects the main station at Trento up the Adige to Val di Non, home of famous apples and many castles 🍎 🏰

It's not an old steam railway! this narrow gauge is fully electrified, part of Italy's transit network👍

Overlooked Destinations - Venlo 🇳🇱

How do we get away from the big over-touristy cities like Amsterdam, while also finding accessible and interesting alternatives? 🤔

We find medium sized towns/cities instead!

Free to See in Copenhagen 🇩🇰

The Changing of the Guard at Amalienborg Castle is free, right in the city centre, and hearkens back to the 19th century. Easy to fit into a walking tour of the city!

Not just tulips!🌷

Don't worry about perfectly timing the tulip blooms if you come to Holland (north or south) - there are other flowers blooming if you're a little too early! 👍

A Medieval Home of Famous Sea Salt 🏰🧂

Guérande is home to the famous salt of the same name, but you can get there by train - don't go all the way to the end of the line at Le Croisic ❌

Even after 3 years of TXE, I'm still learning...

Last month, i did a return trip from Eindhoven to Nantes, flight free. I saved money, and as you can see, only created a tiny fraction of the carbon emissions 👍

But what about my latest trip, to Innsbruck?🤔
