Sleeping on the train

High-speed train
Some long-distance trains that travel through Europe have beds and bunks for the rest of the travelers . Without a doubt, they allow you to sleep in better conditions than in a normal seat, bus, car or plane. Even the best prepared have private cabins for better comfort. In short, the train is emerging as a recommended option for traveling long distances , either for work or tourism.

The truth is that cheap flights have become the alternative, but many tourists and businessmen have not renounced the railways for air bridges. In Europe, those who use this means of transport the most are the Swiss, both because of the frequency and the distance they travel. In many countries, the updating of the railway infrastructure with the incorporation of new high-speed lines means that more and more travelers are opting to travel by train and, if possible, sleep during the journey.

Among the many advantages of traveling by train, the punctuality, comfort and ease of access to the stations stand out , usually located in central areas and quite well connected with other public means of urban transport. In addition, many also value being able to contemplate the landscape , because for a large number of travelers, enjoying the journey is as important as reaching the desired destination, although sometimes it takes longer or in the end it is more expensive.

Therefore, the train is the only means of land transport that offers the possibility that its passengers can sleep in beds or bunk beds. We can find from simple reclining seats , a kind of armchairs that become beds, to bunk beds that are distributed in cabins of four or six seats. While in luxury trains, we can hire a sleeping car , which is a private locked compartment, in which one or two beds and its own toilet are enabled, depending on the category, it can also have a television and a minibar, with benefits similar to those of any hotel.

The main advantage of sleeping while traveling is saving time and money , since being night trips, we do not have to hire additional accommodation. Get on the train, spend the night sleeping and in the morning reach our destination. Traveling like this is a pleasure!
