Avoid this common mistake on Swiss trains (Swiss Newsletter)

Published about 1 month agoย โ€ขย 2 min read

7 Sep 2024

I was sitting on the train on Thursday watching some tourists struggle with their luggage. I gave them a few tips on where to store their luggage, and they were super thankful, as they could sit far more comfortably!

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘‰ look at the ones on the right (comfortable) vs the ones on the left (not so much)!

Catching the train in Switzerland can be a bit of a challenge for newcomers. And maybe you are worried about it too Reader?

So, I wrote a post on people's most common mistakes and how to avoid them. I think you will get a lot out of it! (I also have a guide with even more tips)
