NOVI SAD – SERBIA
12/12/24 We had decided before arriving in Serbia to take a day trip to Novi Sad, Serbia’s second-largest city, and capital of the autonomous Vojvodina region. After departing from Belgrade’s brand-new (and unfinished) railway station, on the fast, comfortable, double-deck SOKO train, we found ourselves quickly trundling through the Serbian countryside en-route to Novi Sad.…

BELGRADE – SERBIA
11/12/24 – 14/12/24 It is a short flight between Bucharest and Belgrade, on an AirSerbia ATR72, however a delay at the airport meant we were slightly later arriving in Belgrade than planned! There are a few options for getting to the city centre from the airport in Belgrade – the A1 minibus, or the 600…

BUCHAREST – ROMANIA
8/12/24 – 11/12/24 Brasov Station is still in the midst of a platform upgrade, meaning to get across to the active train platforms, you have to walk on ground level across some tracks, and through some construction work – no major issues though! We discovered later on that the weekend just gone had actually been…

BRASOV – ROMANIA
6/12/24 – 8/12/24 There are a few trains that run between Hungary and Romania, but most are operated by Romanian Railways.

BUDAPEST – HUNGARY
3/12/24 – 5/12/24 After a quick change of trains in Miskolc, on the Hungarian border, we were on our way to Budapest. The last time I visited the Hungarian capital was almost 20 years ago, as a young child, and so I had but a few short memories of the place to go off. We…

KOSICE – SLOVAKIA
1/12/24 – 3/12/24 Chop Railway Station, on Ukraine’s western border, sits a few hundred metres from both Slovakia and Hungary, the current eastern frontier of the European Union. Despite the small size of the town, Chop’s station was full of people, all heading west into the rest of Europe. As a border post, the station…

LVIV – UKRAINE
28/11/24 – 1/12/24 The sky was still pitch-black in Krakow as our Regiojet train to Przemysl trundled into the station. We had a long-ish journey ahead of us – a few hours to Przemysl, immigration formalities at the Polish border, followed up finally with a few hours on the train to Lviv! Given we were…
