The cool rail project
“THIS SUMMER SHARE WITH US THE COOLEST PART OF TRAVELING BY TRAIN”
As part of the European Year of Youth, UIC is organising a video competition “The cool rail project” for young travellers aged between 15 and 29.
The aim of the competition is to better understand what are the elements that make trains attractive for you and to inspire others to hop on a train and get to know new places now that it is possible to travel again.
Travelling by train is cool, convenient, and sustainable. Share your experience with us and be part of the challenge.

The train is your country, the train your hostel
The train is even cooler when you take it as an adventure part of your trip ! Staying at the hostel is my favorite part when İ travel, they are made for having good experience in a country, make you discover new places and inform you about, show you local culture, and most of all : allows you to meet new people to share all of this. The train can be the same, get out of your comfort zone :)

Interrail 2022 #TheCoolRailProject
I've got to travel to 11 countries and 15 cities in 30 days this summer. I started from Budapest then continued with Vienna, Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, Lyon, Bern, Zurich, Rome, Venice, Trieste, Ljubljana, Zagreb, and lastly Belgrade. Every city enriched me in a way. Solo traveling helped me reflect and refresh myself. I could get out of my comfort zone and seek discomfort while being mesmerized by beautiful landscapes and scenery. Some of the moments felt unreal so I wanted to share those moments with you. In addition, I lost my phone during traveling so this is all the footage that is left. Hope you enjoy it!

A summary of my trip traveling by train from the Netherlands to Hamburg Germany, Copenhagen Denmark, Gothenburg Sweden (including it's southern archipelago) and various places in Norway. I've never before traveled this far by train and absolutely loved it, I spent my traveling days daydreaming whilst looking at the passing scenery and the days in between exploring new places and meeting fellow travelers

Paula and Carla's take on interrail and trains
We shot it in the north of Spain (Asturias/Cantabria). More specifically, in two train stations (Peral and Unquera) where the transcantabric train passes by. This is a touristic train, therefore it goes really slowly to show all the landscape and enjoy the view!
