Whether you’re following the Premier League’s finest as they take on Europe’s glamour teams or backing your country as they aim to bring home the Six Nations cup, travelling by rail is a memorable way to sample the atmosphere of the Continent’s top sporting action.
Travelling by train gets you right into the heart of Europe’s best sporting cities, meaning you can make the most of the pre-match atmosphere instead of being deposited in an airport on the outskirts of town. And since some so-called ‘budget’ airline fares often spiral out of control whenever they coincide with a big sporting event, it’s often cheaper to travel by train too.
