    I love trains and I wish it was easy to take it to other countries. I have bad motion sickness and stuff on rail is the only thing that I can comfortably travel on. Unfortunately getting the central or western Europe from Estonia is frigging impossible, like I have tried to figure out how to buy tickets and how expensive it would be but I found no answers. Now even if I did figure that out I would need to switch trains like 6 times to even get to western Europe. I wish the EU fixed and unified the rail network.

      From Estonia, currently it’s probably easiest to take a ferry to Stockholm, thence a night train direct to Hamburg or Berlin. Continue from Hamburg to Köln and change there to go further west. Of course you can go via Kaunas - Bialystok but it’s slow now, when rail Baltica is complete there will be fast trains Tallinn - Warsaw.

        Boats kill me unfortunately, every time I have been on a boat I spent the entire time throwing up. I’m really hoping for rail baltics to finish quick.

          Ah, pity. I have done Estonia to Poland by train, recall a long time in Valga, peaceful place for lunch if you’re not in a hurry… Also recall little boats in Augustow. Btw openrailwaymap now shows the rail-baltica route dashed if you zoom in.
