I have taken the car train from Hamburg to Vienna as a family. Pure luxury and comfort!
We drive from Denmark to Hamburg(with a 2 year old), and load the fully packed car(stroller, luggages gifts for the in-laws etc) into the train at a special entrance, and walk into the coaches. We booked a private cabin/room for more privacy and also because we have a two year old. There were quite comfortable bunk booths as well in the same train.
Sleep comfortably through the night. The train movements are soothing after a while.
In the morning a serviceman in the train wakes us up with coffee and warm breakfast.
Before Noon, we were driving off at Vienna towards our destination- Salzburg.
I wish this facility existed everywhere - any major city to another major city across Europe. Imagine how many cars it would take off the road!
I really wish the European Union does more than what it already does to unify the train systems and invest heavily in passenger focussed train tracks all across Europe. Make us not want to drive!
No hours long security checks and walking in the airport. Comfortable train booths, save on hotel room costs by traveling overnight, bring a lot of luggage with you if you wish… what is not to like?! And by the way pollute less and not doom our planet.
