It\u2019s also a great way to make sure you get visit all the cities you want to see and partake in all of the activities you want to experience without having to worry about anyone else\u2019s opinion. To get you started, we\u2019ve put together an itinerary of the best places to go on your solo Europe trip by train. There are options for every kind of solo traveller, including cities with friendly and welcoming locals, quiet mountain retreats, cities known for safety, and more. Read on for the perfect solo traveller trip!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Solo Europe Trip by Train:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Naples, Italy<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Salzburg, Austria<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Amsterdam, Netherlands<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Copenhagen, Denmark<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Train Routes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Naples to Salzburg: Via Rome, Florence, and high-speed train or boat to Capri.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Salzburg to Amsterdam: Changing trains in Munich or Mannheim, around 12 or 9.5 hours respectively.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Amsterdam to Copenhagen: Options with train changes, or direct routes from Amsterdam to Berlin and Berlin to Copenhagen, offering flexibility for exploration.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1.

We like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/findabed.php\/ChosenCity.Naples\/ChosenCountry.Italy\" class=\"post links\">Naples<\/a>\u00a0because it\u2019s more manageable than the larger Italian cities \u2013 it\u2019s not quite a small town, but it\u2019s not quite a large city either, so you really get the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n<p>Naples is home to some of Italy\u2019s most delicious pizza, and it\u2019s one of the major stopping-off points for travellers headed towards the buried city of Pompeii. Its quaint, cobblestone neighbourhood streets are perfect for solo travellers looking to take a peaceful walk \u2013 and a dream for any budding photographers.<\/p>\n<p>Naples is also a great place to be if you decide you do want to experience a bit of a busier Italian city \u2013 Rome, Florence, and the island of Capri are all easily accessible by high-speed train or, in the latter\u2019s case, by boat.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Getting to Naples:<\/strong> Naples is connected to Rome, Florence, and other nearby cities with a quick train ride. Point to point tickets are sold separately, but these train rides are also covered by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurail.com\/en\" class=\"post links\">Eurail pass<\/a> including Italy (though reservations are necessary for high-speed trains).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Head to the hills near Salzburg<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-151315 size-full\" title=\"Europe trip by train - Salzburg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/sarah-mutter-Ci-aV-AIwGQ-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/sarah-mutter-Ci-aV-AIwGQ-unsplash.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/sarah-mutter-Ci-aV-AIwGQ-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/sarah-mutter-Ci-aV-AIwGQ-unsplash-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Austria is known for its rolling hills and beautiful countryside \u2013 one of the best places to travel solo in Europe when you just want to get away from everyone and escape into the mountains. While it\u2019s lovely to visit new cities where locals welcome you with open arms, it\u2019s also a relief to embrace being <em>alone<\/em> while you\u2019re travelling on your own, and a day or two in the Austrian countryside seems quite refreshing to us.<\/p>\n<p>And if you\u2019d rather stay in the city, you can still enjoy a view of the mountains and the Danube River from your hostel window, as the city sits nestled amongst a beautiful landscape backdrop. Sit back, get a warm cup of coffee, and enjoy the view and your alone time while listening to some of the classical music the city so prides itself on (you might have heard of one of its most famous residents: Mozart). Salzburg is easily connected to many international cities by train and so it\u2019s a good place to start and end your trip in Austria.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Naples to Salzburg by Train<\/strong>: You\u2019ll get to enjoy the Italian countryside on this ride. The high-speed Italo train runs from Naples to Venice in just under five hours. From there, you will take a bus from Venice to Villach (this bus is similar to a coach used for private tours \u2013 so in other words, more comfortable than a regular city bus), and from Villach you will take a train to Salzburg. The Salzburg train station is located almost directly in the city center.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Ask for directions in Amsterdam<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-151314 size-full\" title=\"Europe trip by train - Amsterdam\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/adrien-olichon-QRtym77B6xk-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/adrien-olichon-QRtym77B6xk-unsplash.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/adrien-olichon-QRtym77B6xk-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/adrien-olichon-QRtym77B6xk-unsplash-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The train ride from Salzburg to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hostels\/Amsterdam\" class=\"post links\">Amsterdam<\/a> is a longer one than some of the others on this list, which is perfect for the solo traveller who wants to relax with a peaceful train ride across the countryside. Make a playlist, grab a good book, or write a few postcards to family and friends back home while the scenery flies past.<\/p>\n<p>Once in Amsterdam, the fun begins! It\u2019s such a lively little city and the great thing is \u2013 locals in Amsterdam barely even bat an eye at visitors anymore. I can personally attest that it\u2019s a great place to visit when you\u2019re travelling alone \u2013 it\u2019s the first European city I ever visited on my own, and I felt perfectly safe and welcome the entire time.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone was so friendly whenever I asked for directions (which was often), and there was so much to do in that city that I never felt bored or lonely. There are always people wandering around, and the hostels are energetic and full of other travellers looking to make new friends.<\/p>\n<p>Amsterdam is a city that seems to have been built around people enjoying themselves, and locals and travellers alike are more than willing to let you join in on the party.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong><em>Don\u2019t miss:<\/em><\/strong> The museums! Amsterdam is known for more outrageous activities, but some of its tamer attractions \u2013 its art museums \u2013 are among the world\u2019s best. The Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh museum are extensive in their coverage of Dutch art (and in the former\u2019s case, history as well), and are perfect for solo travellers looking to escape the often-rainy summer weather.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Salzburg to Amsterdam by train:<\/strong> This journey will require at least one change along the way \u2013 we\u2019d recommend changing in either Munich or Mannheim. Salzburg to Munich to Amsterdam is about 12 hours total (with an overnight train in there), while Salzburg to Mannheim to Amsterdam is about 9.5 hours.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Enjoy the safety of Copenhagen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-151313 size-full\" title=\"Europe trip by train - Copenhagen\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/nick-karvounis-3_ZGrsirryY-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/nick-karvounis-3_ZGrsirryY-unsplash.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/nick-karvounis-3_ZGrsirryY-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/nick-karvounis-3_ZGrsirryY-unsplash-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One main concern for solo travellers \u2013 particularly female solo travellers \u2013 is safety. Scandinavia in general is known for being one of the safest regions of the world, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hostels\/Copenhagen\" class=\"post links\">Copenhagen<\/a> in particular has a reputation for being extremely safe. The crime rate is one of the lowest in Europe, and pickpocketing isn\u2019t as common here as it is in some of the other larger cities in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Solo-travelling book lovers, rejoice: this is a good city for you! Birthplace of Hans Christian Anderson, and famous for the little mermaid statue along the dock, Copenhagen will feel like home to bookworms. For those who prefer to socialise, or at least be around other people, try either the Tivoli Amusement Park (directly across from the train station) or Stroget, the world\u2019s longest pedestrian street.<\/p>\n<p>Also, a note: with all this talk of safety, it\u2019s still extremely important to exercise caution no matter where you\u2019re travelling on your own. Some cities are safer than others, yes, but whenever you\u2019re in an unfamiliar place it\u2019s always best to be more alert and aware than you would at home.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Amsterdam to Copenhagen by train<\/strong>: This trip can be done in two train rides: one from Amsterdam to Berlin, and one from Berlin to Copenhagen, but there are also options that involve more train changes along the way if you want to stop and explore more of Germany before you reach Copenhagen. That\u2019s one of the great things about a Europe trip by train \u2013 you can hop off and explore pretty much any number of cities you want to see on your way to your next destination.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jacqueline Des Forges is a European rail expert and community manager for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.raileurope.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"post links\">Rail Europe<\/a>, the place to plan and book your solo Euro trip by train if you\u2019re from outside the EU.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travelling solo \u2013 whether you\u2019re male or female \u2013 can be a pretty empowering thing.
