When you take a trip in Europe like this, you should decide yourself: Do I want to travel fast, or do I want to travel scenic but slow routes. What you presented, is a mix of both. The fast trains from zurich to milano go by tunnel and are a lot quicker then your route. One problem in Paris is the missing central station for all trains in all directions. You have to use the Paris metro to change from your arrival TGV station to the next departure station. That cost quite a bit of time. In London they solved this problem very good and changed the ending of the Eurostar line from Waterloo international to St.Pancras station in the nothern part of the city. So yoe can skip the London tube, when your heading to Edinburgh or Birmingham.
Reminds me travelling to Italy every summer as a child by train, this was before the Eurostar. We went from London Victoria to Dover then Dover to Calais. At Calais we then got the train to Paris Gard du Nord then a taxi to Paris Gard du Sud. It was then one train from Gard du Sud overnight to Milano. Sleeping in the train at night as a child was an adventure in itself. 👍
"Paris Gard du Sud" You mean Gare de Lyon, perhaps look it up. There is a Gare (note spelling) du Sud but it' was in Nice before it was converted to a food market.
Yeah, we used to do that in the ‘60’s but they used split trains a lot in those days and we went from Calais through Paris to Zurich, changed early morning to Milan then changed for Bologna and finally an extremely slow train (with park benches for seats) to Rimini. Another option was Ostend to Bern via Luxembourg then change for Milan etc.
I travelled by train London to Milan in the sixties a few times as a child partly by steam train and partly by electric train. I still remember the scenic route particulatly Switzerland and northern Italy. This video has prompted me to consider doing the trip again.
I liked the lack of commentary. So many vloggers stick their face in the screen all the time. It gets a bit tedious. This was great. Enough text to tell us what's happening. Thank you.
What a incredible rail trip , especially going through the snow regions of Switzerland. Awesome photography of the train , the whole trip and travel and especially the countryside .
I live north of Venice in Pordenone and have been to Venice, what? a +100 times? Still, when I emerge from Santa Lucia and there is Canal Grande only one word in Italian for La Serenissima and that is: "Mozzafiato". Every time even for me. Venezia is indeed Unica. Viva L'Italia.
I live in Australia now but each time I visited Italy I always HAD to go to Venice. Yes when you exit the station it truly is "breathtaking" there is no other word for it and no other place like it.
What a breathtaking journey through the winter beauty of Europe! The snowy mountain landscapes and magical villages along the way are a feast for the eyes. #winterwonderland
I think your videos are the best on RUclips, and the best thing is that silent! Just places sounds, thanks a lot❤ One day I'll travel in one of these wonderful trains visiting these wonderful countries❤❤ cheers from 🇧🇷
Wow shocking didn’t knew still was possible train from London to Italy ❤❤❤❤❤❤ love it . Thanks for sharing. Wow wow omg look at that it’s like winter wonderland ❤❤❤❤❤
you can also reach Italy from London just using only 2 trains (From London to Paris e than to Italy - First stop Turin and in fully high speed). In this video Silent Traveler choosen to take a panoramic route, including the wonderful Bernina Express.
I have done a similar trip but with less trains. London (St Pancras) to Paris. (Gare du Nord) then from Gare de Lyon to Geneva, then Milan and finally Venice. The scenery from Geneva to Milan was simply stunning!
This was such a treat for me to see. In 1969 I spent June, July, and August in Europe. Of course, we crossed the Channel by ship and went on to Paris for 3 and a half weeks. Then Montreux for 5 days after which we took the train from Zurich to Rome, stopping in Milan. Thank you for this.
Really fascinating that you can remember details of your trip from 1969. I did a trip with my classmates in 2014 to Normandy and can't remember the details. Maybe because I travel a lot. Thank you for the kind comment. Regards
It costs me four trains to go from London to Italy, but the face to face changing of trains at the terminals provides a great convenience to me. Mountain and valley views are very fantastic in Switzerland. Thank you for your travel video.
I love and hate Europe railine . I was fascinated by the stunning scenery and rich history, but I was overwhelmed by the high cost. I think trainpal's discount coupon saved me.
Currently (September 2023) the railway and motorway leading to the Frejus tunnels are interrupted on French territory. There are kilometre-long queues at the Mont Blanc road tunnel and the Gotthard base railway tunnel is still closed following the derailment. Maybe crossing the Bernina pass isn't such a bad idea.
This was so beautiful watching. The photography was crisp clear. You could be "silent" but your work speaks loud & clear. Thank you for the inspiring journey ~ 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wonderful looking journey, through some very romantic looking scenery, especially through Switzerland & into Italy. All the trains looked very clean, smooth & comfortable too. Much appreciation.
I really enjoyed reliving these train rides (apart from the Bernina pass, which I haven't done). Your capture of the Landwasser Viaduct was terrific. Thank goodness you spared us a seat test, a toilet scrutiny.
Grazie ! è stato un bel viaggio virtuale che ho fatto con voi - ho rivisto località visitate molti anni fa e mi commuovo al pensiero che sono diventato un eremita - causa acciacchi dell'età e non potendo più mettere il naso fuori di casa - mi rattrista e mi consolo nel contempo con questi filmati. Un cordiale saluto da Luciano il perugino (Italia) 😀🍀🍀🍀
3 of us did a similar journey in May 2014, except that we got off at Basel, hired a car and camped for a week near Interlaken, doing some mountain train & cable-car rides in spectacular weather; then early start & 4 hour drive to Chur for the 08:30 to Tirano, with wonderful stand-up views all the way, which no video can do justice to, still plenty of snow around
The longest east-west high-speed railway line in China is the Xuzhou-Xinjiang Railway Line, which is 3,176 kilometers long and requires a transfer in Lanzhou, which is equivalent to traveling from the easternmost to the westernmost part of China. The longest north-south high-speed railway line is the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway Line, which is 2,298 kilometers long and does not require a transfer. The entire line operates at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour and takes only 7 hours and 16 minutes.
I've just come across this video, it amazes me how clean and roomy these trains are . We Brit's who invented the train our government should feel embarrassed how cramped and scruffy our trains are. These are just fantastic.
Just did Rome to Florence to Venice to Milan to Geneva to Interlaken to Paris (via Basel & Strasbourg) and then Paris to London all by train, fantastic views, weather, easy travel, fast, enjoyable, only down side - having to be eagle eyed to avoid pickpockets and panhandler's at the train stations.
I travelled a lot by trains and buses from Leeds to Rome. The easiest one but most expensive because of the eurostar cost. the eurostar from London to Paris and then the TGV Paris to Milan, then Frecciarossa or Italo from Milan to Rome. Used to be a night train from Paris to Venice and stops in Milan but not anymore.
I had to turn it off. I was getting too jealous the beautiful trains, beautiful cities, beautiful countryside. I don't understand why America can't do this.
The issue I have is that I’m of an age where technology is fine and often use it fully. However, I still get concerned about not having a physical document for a ticket and completely relying on my phone. My most recent journey meant that I had a ticket on my phone, and three printed versions. One for my handbag, one for my case and one put in my husband’s case just in case. I can’t just trust the phone. Watching this video though gives me an idea for another holiday. I’d rather the orient express to Venice but probably not affordable.
No Frecciarossa and TGV between Milan and Paris for a year The effect of the closure of the Frejus line is easily verifiable: to go by train from Italy to France the only solutions that can be purchased involve travel times of almost a day given that the usable itineraries are limited to those of the Ventimiglia crossing and those with Austria and Switzerland. So the blockade of Tgv and Frecciarossa, as well as the 170 weekly freight trains that were active on the historic Frejus line, are added to the expected closure of the Mont Blanc motorway tunnel from 16 October to 18 December. If it is easy to foresee serious repercussions for the territory, with a notable increase in road transport and consequent traffic congestion on the Alpine motorways, it is the president of the Italian Road Transport Federation Paolo Uggè, who raises the alarm on the risk of isolation for the 'Italy with serious repercussions for the economy. In fact, our country finds itself increasingly isolated from the rest of the continent.
@@roger0929what? Also the Frejus railway is closed because of a landslide on the french side but insthead of fixing it they are waiting. Luckly in the future (2032) a 57km tunnel (longest in the world but Italy is also Building a 60km One with Austria) will avoid these problems and will shorten Milan-Paris time for both passengers and freight, also the tunnel will be very low on sea level so freight will use less energy and pollute less
I did Paris-Brussels-Bruge-Amsterdam-Basel-Chur-Bernina-Tirano-Milan-Venice-Florence-Pisa-Lucca-Rome. the 21day Eurail pass was worth it seeing your prices. Brought back memories.
6:43 This is the exact spot you crossed the border ! Mulhouse-Basel is my commuter line… At Hubs like Basel, Zürich or Chur trains arrive around the same time and leave around the same time 5-10 minutes later to enable short transfer times. All sorts of transport are included in corresponding timetables across the whole nation… P.S.: I hate what Venice has become since the 1990’s… I worked in the 80’s in a dining car between Basel and Venice with a 22 hour overnight stay - I know every single pathway in the city and surrounding islands. I’m so sad .
It is curious that between Basel SNCF and the border the trains keep right hand as in Alsace, but that the Swiss signals are placed to the left of the track they control, as happens in the rest of the Swiss federal railway network! Probably here in Italy such a situation would not be allowed. What was the name of the train connecting Basel to Venice and which included the restaurant car where you worked? Was it an Italian dining car? I used the one that traveled as part of the train from Rome Termini to Basel SBB via Gottardo. Have you met the legendary Tempini of the equally legendary SSG? He filled glasses with Kirsch from Zug from a height of one metre!
@@Luigi-uj5ml The signals are on both sides of the track because trains are able to use both sides equally in both directions, like the most SBB lines too. I was employed by the SSG from Basel via Bern- Brig- Milano- Padova- V-Mestre- V-Sta. Lucia with a 22 hour stay in Venice. “We are arriving at Milano-Centrale , please make sure you stay with your belongings during the whole time of our stop!” No,I never met him. I knew some others who did it with Grappa in the Glacier Express…with the beveled glasses.
@@aoilpeCertainly, but if you pay attention, along the route between Basel (Gare de Bâle SNCF) and the border, the Swiss signals have been placed to the left of the track they control, while in Alsace the SNCF signals are normally to the right of the right track .
What a wonderful journey. It would be nicer if you had annotated which the various stations were, as it was not always clear. But that's just a nit-picky point! I would love to take that same trip someday.
Between Bergün and Preda. The voice in German: "Twist and turns give you a scenic view". The fog outside gives you 0 meter of view. A did this trip many times what you could see, if you could see, is spectacular.
Right now Frejus line is closed because a landslide on the tracks. But you could do this with just two trains, London Paris and Paris Milan, most of this on high speed... less scenic travel though
All the tourist routes in Switzerland seem to cater to the camera-happy Furriners like that. Got to give them something for all that cash the Swiss are skinning them for! 😉😊

I have to agree. It a mess having to use the metro to change station. .

Italy does have such remarkable trains and it’s such a great country to visit. Even in the Winter when it’s snows and when it’s hot in the summer.
LOL. They serve only half the country, go to Sicily you will need a horse carriage.

Right now Frejus line is closed because a landslide on the tracks. But you could do this with just two trains, London Paris and Paris Milan, most of this on high speed... less scenic travel though
I do like how those new carriages on the Bernina Bahn have some windows you can lower to stick your camera out. That's very thoughtful
