 <\/p>\n

1. Explore reliable sources for buying tickets<\/strong><\/h5>\n

When it comes to researching travel options and buying tickets, don\u2019t rely on your national rail operator or large internet platforms. Instead, head to The Man in Seat 61<\/strong><\/a>, a website run by \u2018The Man in Seat 61,\u2019 which contains meticulously researched and up-to-date information on almost every country in the world. To check possible connections, www.bahn.de has the most comprehensive database in Europe (although it won\u2019t be able to sell you a ticket for most of them).<\/p>\n

2. Compare prices from different railway operators<\/strong><\/h5>\n

In the case of direct cross-border trains operated as a cooperation by two rail (or more) railway companies, you should compare prices: you can also book a ticket using another company\u2019s booking system, even if you don\u2019t live in that country. For example, direct trains from Germany to Hungary are often cheaper for a German traveler if they book the ticket on the Hungarian railway operator’s website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
