Trainline is great within serval European countries, you can also purchase several railpasses on the Trainline website. Please do note that especially local regional offers can be better deals, however for easy point to point tickets I personally really prefer Trainline. This link will only be published at the moment Trainline can be used for the video that you see and in most video’s I also mention booking websites / tips.

At the end of April, we took part of thiis journey in reverse, from Lyon Part Deux to Torino Porta Susa 🙂 Beautiful ride!
Congratulations on your engagement and mini-viking on the way!
I can't wait till they build the tunnel between Torino and Lyon, then one day it might run to London and further North in the UK all the way to Torino or Milano, would be great
Naples to Berlin in 2028! Count me in!
Great video, I love the Frecciarossa,one of my favourite trains
Milan station certainly look very impressive. The train journey shown (Mila to Paris Gare de Lyon) in executive class certainly appears luxurious! Great video!
I love how that 200 Euros per person is like easily less than like an Acela Business Class ticket from like Boston to Philly lol
Wow congrats or gefeliciteerd guys! So happy for your good news. And thank you for making these videos!
Italy probably doesn’t have a children’s play area on their trains because Italy doesn’t have many children anymore. Maybe it’s decisions like that why?
Congrats to you both on your great news! 🎉
Can I ask from where you got the NMBS poster at the beginning of the video 😮
Congratulations on your amazing news! Won't be long before you do reviews on family coaches… 😅
Do you know if NTV has any intention to get in the Paris-Milan market ? One would think it's a prestige route they would be interested in, with tons of money to make with luxury products , potentially…
I'm sure you've seen images of the new TGV interior, what did you make of it ?
Many congratulations! Well done Mrs Viking.
I thought there weren't any border controls between Schengen countries.
