Travelers can take planes or trains within Europe, depending on their preference. Traveling by train may be a more immersive experience and cost-effective compared to by-plane. Although, it is essential to keep in mind that traveling to faraway places can take time, increased transportation costs, and sometimes may cost travelers the opportunity to explore some locations in detail. For more extended travels, it's recommended to organize your timetable to ensure a smooth schedule.
If you have more time, you could visit additional cities such as Copenhagen, Dublin or Lisbon. An ideal way to reduce costs would be to look for a one- or two-day hop-on-hop-off bus tour in each location visited. This will give you the flexibility to explore the points of interest at your own pace, with the opportunity to learn more about the culture, history, and food. Keep in mind that although these tours offer a general outlook of the locations, they may not provide in-depth exploration of various points of interest.
