Snowy trip in the winter to Venice Italy.

[@reinerhoffmann3764]

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.

[@michaelashall4523]

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

[@David.L291]

​@@michaelashall4523Sometimes same thing here in London when travelling somewhere else in England but I don't see it as a major issue

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.

[@antoniofarinaccio541]

LOL. They serve only half the country, go to Sicily you will need a horse carriage.

This was a wonderful video. It's so nice to know that you can enjoy a journey from London to Italy exclusively by train.

[@arthurmee]

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.

[@EILEENZ0122]

Yessss! Tourists can also buy it for saving🥺 and I also know a cheaper channel😎

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.

[@ginobragoli1448]

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. 👍

[@EILEENZ0122]

Train will be faster and has more scenery on the way🥹 aned with discount the price will be affordable as well😂

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.

[@lucianopasserini179]

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.

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.

[@SilentTraveler1]

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

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.

[@Sthmohtwenty]

How much it cost uu

Used Eurorail pass - so about AUD $2500 for 4 people including the high speed train seat bookings so averaged out about $100 pp per trip@@Sthmohtwenty

During the summer, a RhB bus, which awaits the Bernina Express, connects the railway station called Tirano RhB (although it is in Italy it is considered Swiss territory) with the Lugano railway station. The route is included in the Swiss Travel Pass, Eurail Pass and similar. Only seat reservation is not included.

[@rob5197]

Tirano is a FREE ZONE within Italy, governed by italy

[@Luigi-uj5ml]

​@@rob5197I was referring, as I wrote, to the Tirano station of the Rhaetian Railway (RhB). It is no coincidence that to access it you have to pass through the post (office) of the Customs Agency, as happens to access the platform of the legendary Baden station in Basel. It is no coincidence that tickets and souvenirs sold at the counter are subject to Swiss VAT and if you send luggage from Switzerland (for example from Thusis to Tirano RhB) you will not be given the appropriate customs declaration form. Even any idiot from Milan knows well that Tirano is in Italy (Lombardy).

[@Luigi-uj5ml]

​@@rob5197Buongiorno sig. Lupi, la stazione di Tirano RhB è su territorio italiano ma a tutti gli effetti una stazione Svizzera. Ogni biglietto emesso così come i souvenir venduti allo sportello sono soggetti all’IVA Svizzera. È esattamente come acquistare qualcosa alla stazione di St.Moritz. Spedendo il bagaglio dalla Svizzera a Tirano RhB in realtà è come spedire il bagaglio internamente e quindi non è soggetto a dichiarazione doganale. Chiaramente sia la Dogana Svizzera di Campocologno, sia la Dogana italiana a Tirano hanno l’autorità per procedere ad un controllo del contenuto della spedizione.
