After a night at the Intercity Hotel Hauptbahnhof it was soon time to get moving again. Although we had a few hours to kill before our 18.45 departure, so since our next train would not have any dining car (but you can order some food to your compartment from the staff), we thought we’d have… Continue reading Stockholm-Croatia by train part 2: Berlin to Graz with ÖBB Nightjet

Stockholm-Croatia by train part 1: Stockholm to Berlin with SJ Euronight
I’ve grown fond of train travel the last couple of years with train trips from Stockholm where I live, to both Malta in 2019, and to Scotland last year. It’s an incredibly (mostly) comfortable experience compared to flying, you just take your bags to the central station, no lines, no checking in, no waiting, no… Continue reading Stockholm-Croatia by train part 1: Stockholm to Berlin with SJ Euronight
Stockholm-Scotland by train: Amsterdam to London [part 4]
When I was around 10 years old, the Eurostar opened and for the first time in history, people could travel by train from the United Kingdom to the rest of Europe. I don’t really remember how I got this information, probably from tv as the internet took another year or two to reach my 1990s… Continue reading Stockholm-Scotland by train: Amsterdam to London [part 4]
Stockholm-Scotland by train: Copenhagen to Hamburg [part 2]
Apart from that, the seats were comfortable, there’s a self service bar with coffee and sweets, and the views were at times stunning. Last time we went we used the now terminated train ferry, but I’d say this train was more comfortable as you did not have to get on and off, and could just… Continue reading Stockholm-Scotland by train: Copenhagen to Hamburg [part 2]
Part 11: Taking Train number 10 from Chiang Mai to Bangkok in a VIP sleeper
After spending five days eating and touring Chiang Mai, the end of our quite extensive South East Asia trip approached. But first, one of my most anticipated events of the trip awaited us: catching the number 10 train to Bangkok. How to book the train Allegedly, you can book through Thailand State Railways’ website about… Continue reading Part 11: Taking Train number 10 from Chiang Mai to Bangkok in a VIP sleeper
Stockholm-Malta by train part 6: Salerno to Sicily (Catania)
After spending three days in fantastic (but super expensive) Positano, we were back in Salerno for a last night at the Hotel Plaza. After breakfast we went to a nearby sandwich shop to stock up on some provisions for our next leg on our way to Malta; Salerno-Catania on a Trenitalia intercity train. Salerno-Catania in… Continue reading Stockholm-Malta by train part 6: Salerno to Sicily (Catania)
Stockholm-Malta by train part 4: Zürich-Como
After arriving Zürich by the Nightjet train we left the Zurich HBF for a quick walk around town. I’ve been to Zurich before and because of that we kind of knew our way around. Since it was Sunday and early, not that many shops were open, and not that many people were out either. But… Continue reading Stockholm-Malta by train part 4: Zürich-Como
Stockholm-Malta by train part 2: Copenhagen to Berlin
After an early rise from Axel Guldsmeden we went to find where the bus that was temporarily replacing the train (I guess due to some kind of maintenance work) left. The guy in our hotel told us that it was “to the right of the Central Station”. We found the spot, but quickly realised that… Continue reading Stockholm-Malta by train part 2: Copenhagen to Berlin
Stockholm-Malta by train (ish) part 1: Stockholm-Copenhagen
This Summer we’re trying something new: taking the train all the way from Sweden to continental Europe, and then on to the tiny mediterranean island of Malta. The first step: catching Swedish SJ’s X2000 high speed train to Copenhagen. The trip is about five hours and we paid the equivalent of €30 each per person… Continue reading Stockholm-Malta by train (ish) part 1: Stockholm-Copenhagen
