Benefits of travelling by train
Why book with NS International?
Take the train: green and comfortable travel
You will see the landscape change along the way. You will pass the first hills and can already spot the higher mountain peaks in the distance. You will drive through sunflower fields, past fast-flowing rivers and small villages. The holiday has begun!
The train offers plenty of room to move about, ideal for longer journeys with or without children. And you can spend your time as you like: reading, taking a nap, watching a film on your laptop, playing games or chatting with a fellow traveller. Moreover, on many trains you can get something to eat or drink in the bar. You will have your luggage at hand and also very convenient: you can visit the restroom whenever you need.
And last but not least; travelling by train is a sustainable way of travelling. Its CO2 and particulate emissions are much less than travelling by car or plane. Other than walking or cycling, travelling by train is the best and wisest way to travel.
