Sleeping Near the Station: Why Location Always Beats Luxury

Interrailing is all about momentum — and staying near the train station keeps your trip running smoothly.

Why You Should Stay Close

  • No stress on travel days: Sleep later, walk 5 mins to your platform
  • Easier with luggage: Avoid public transport or stairs
  • More flexibility: Great if you’re arriving late or leaving early

When It Matters Most

If you have early departures, tight connections, or limited time in a city, proximity beats amenities every time. You'll save time and stress.
