German here. Concerning nudity: Full on nudity is allowed in places, sometimes by "right of use" (like in the Englischer Garten) where it is just common knowledge and habit. We are slighly offended when nudity happens in inappropriate locations, but more or less on the side of "amused". A very big difference to me is the perspective. Example: Someone is changing into some dry swimwear at a beach. The american perspective would most likely be: WHY ARE YOU SHOWING THAT? whereas the european perspective would most likely be: WHY ARE YOU WATCHING ME? I AM CLEARLY CHANGING, NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE?.
Yes, absolutely. I would like to expand on the last point. English speaking countries typically operate on the principle "no expectation of privacy in public". In Germany and in fact in large parts of Europe (not the UK!) that's not how it works. We _do_ have an expectation of privacy in public, it's just limited.
Examples include someone tanning naked on the beach or in a park, a man pissing against a tree, or even a couple having sex in a place where they can be seen.
All of these things are borderline behaviour and normally very rare almost everywhere. They can be appropriate, depending primarily on the location. Even in the worst _reasonable_ location they are not very serious, though. (Examples of definitely unreasonable places for having sex that will _definitely_ get you into trouble are in a church or on a playground.) This borderline behaviour comes with an expectation of privacy that is to be provided by everyone else ignoring it.
Germany is far more densely populated than most English-speaking places, and I guess that has a lot to do with the difference.
In Germany and large parts of Europe, you can't just take photos of other people in public and publish them. There may be a public interest defence for publication, but even a minor criminal act isn't enough for that. In fact, if someone is doing something that requires privacy, you are totally out of line if you stare, and you are supposed to look away and pretend you don't notice.
Children learn this from their parents' reactions when they query them about odd behaviour. ("What is this man doing in front of the tree?" - "Shh, not so loud! Stop looking or he will notice. He just didn't have time to find a toilet.")
In short: In Germany it's always the Peeping Tom who is at fault.
@@johaquila To the sex thing in public: as long as you're at least trying to get out of the way where some non-expecting person might see you, you might get away with it. Doing it on a bench in a park will get you in trouble, if you go 5 meters into the bushes it keeps you clear of conflict with the law. Playgrounds and churches are obviously a no-go. But yes to the man standing at a tree relieving himself. You see it, you understand it, and leave him alone. For most people that's the most intimate thing they don't share with anybody. While for sex you have at least one other person near you, most people prefer the solitude while following their needs in the restroom.
Also when it comes to embarrassment, in the US the person changing clothes will be the embarrassed person, over here it would be the person watching. So you would rather blame the person watching you changing clothes than the other way round. In the US it's the opposite.
Issues with the topic by itself are way too rare to even talk about it as a german thing to be honest. You can easily grow up in germany and never have any encounters. Yes you will "learn", that there are people, that like beeing naked a bit more, than John Doe does. Also that there are some places, mainly beaches or alike, where those people go and can be as naked as they wish for.
But you hardly will stumble totally unaware into such a place.
Sure, huge cities like Berlin, Hamburg or Munich are another story. But in most places the nudity stays out of peoples lives unless they activley looking for it.
you can buy a gun at 18 in the US, sign up for the military, vote but you can’t buy liquor and cigarettes at 18!!! Yeah that really makes sense 🙄
Land of the free! :D
As you mentioned it at the end of your video: "USA: land of the free" (exeptions: drinking in public = arrested, smoking in public = arrested, being nude in public = arrested, taking a train = not available, aso.) ... I don't mean it in an offensive way - it's just a cultural difference and surly a difference in the meaning of "beeing free".
True. I think America just build a indirect invisible wall around of their own people to hold them back of traviling and exploring other cultures. So that they believe that the american way is the best way and get no influences from the outside. Just see the different flight prices from EU to US and from US to EU.
but they are free to use almost absolutely unrestricted insults and hate speech .. the "real" freedom ???
@@Anson_AKB that is the paradoxon. You can insult every person racistly in public. But not say "Fuck" on TV or in the Internet. You can drive at 16, buy guns at 18 but just drinking at 21. And don`t get me startet if you show a nipple to an American. ;)
@@Anson_AKB and dont forget how free our american friends are when its about shooting somebody. THATS the real freedom. nobody is free until you cant execute a 15 year old kid with 5 bullets in his back when he is chose the wrong entry to pick up his even younger little brother. oh say can youuuu seeeeeeee, dädädädäädääää
As an European i really dont get it why you cant drink in public. Like what is the differents if i drink on the street or when i hide? I even think that it is safer because you can dose the alcohol and dont have to down it all before going out.
The funny thng is that they always use these brown paper bags, as if the police is somehow colorblind to brown or whatever. I mean seriously ..
Everbody knows what's in that paperbag anyway, so it seems pretty useless, yeah 😂
And also the comment on shootings. Did I get this right or wrong, did he say one reason for public drinking is not allowed are possible shootings by drunk ppl?
Sry man, it's not the drinking, it's the guns.
In Germany, if you stumble across a bunch of drunk ppl, you might get into some trouble, you might have ppl the punch you in the face because they are drunk and stupid. But the chances that anyone is carrying a gun and do a mass shooting out of being drunk is close to zero. Why? Because by default there are no guns allowed to a normal citizen. There are a few exceptions, e.g. like sports, but there are strict laws how to lock up guns for sports and they are registered.
In Germany it is normal that you can pass a thousand ppl on the street and not one of them did have a gun.
You find this also in crime stats. The US has aroun 5 to 10 times higher number per 100k ppl with murders using firearms, even though criminals still can get guns on the black market.
So the argument, if you disallow guns, only the criminals have guns, is correct, but the assumption that the crime stats would be higher without guns is prooven wrong.
Munich- Paris ...about one train every hour. Nighttime train, too. Start in Munich in the evening, wake up in Paris in the morning.
yes, night trains are the best. I use that to go snowboarding from northern Germany. Entering a train in the evening in Hanover and next morning at 10am in the alps on the mountain. but quite expensive :(
😨
From Munich to Paris, you have a good connection every two hours, six in total per day. Within Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, the UK you predominantly have hourly connections between major cities if not better. France has a more irregular schedule, I think Spain as well. Italy is somewhat in between.
You won't believe me, but I once traveled from Berlin, Germany to Amsterdam, Netherlands, without even changing trains. Only thing there was, we had to wait for about an hour at the Dutch border because of some technical issue. Was something about the different voltages the Germans and the Dutch were using back then, and the Dutch didn't have their locomotive ready.
We can drink publicly in Bayern nearly everywhere, some cities make it illegal on playgrounds tho, which makes sense. It really depends where you work, so if you work for the government (like me) or for social services you're NOT allowed to drink during work hours. In Bavaria it's a tad difficult, bc beer is considered basic food, so there are exceptions.
There is still a lot of construction going on with the Munich-Paris railtracks on the german side (Stuttgart 21)
It took a lot of time but most parts soon to be finished
-> Paris-Munich (875km/544mi) is planned to be 4:38h
It is funny how the land of freedooooooom! has so many problems with different kind of freedoms. This FKK culture is doesn't harm anyone and the drinking in public is no problem at all. We have "Grünkohl - tour" in northern Germany. Few friends meet up, have a quite a bit amount of liquor for a walk and play games outside. In the end we go into a restaurant and eat very tasty cale with meat and potatoes. It is always a blast but depends highly on the ability to drink alcohol in public.
Yes, I don't get that either.
Wenn yo u hear her talking about nudity you could think er would walk throug the city naked. But that's not true. It takes place just in special areas.
Is it like the 'maiwanderung' in south germany, cause we Do basically the same on 1st May without the Restaurant in the end.
Hallo, I'm in Germany. Crossing a border means only, that you are used to carry ID ALWAYS. Not that we really need it, since Schengen Contract there are no routine border checks, only customs checks. If you drive a car with a local licence plate, you won't be stopped (except, when you rely on it and try to smuggel something, you shouldn't ;-). It is decades, that I needed an ID at a border for the last time. Yet I would not leave home without. Our S-Train line is operated by the Swiss SBB (Schweizerische Bundesbahn). When I ride from home to Basel (Switzerland) I have three stations in Germany, then two in Switzerland, then a german Central Station, where three lines from Germany and one line from Switzerland meet, then a swiss Central Station where swiss lines, our german and a french line meet. During the ride just the names of the stations are announced, you are not told, if you are in Germany or Switzerland, when you leave the train.
In that german Central Station in Basel you pass Customs Check when leaving the station, but mostly you just walk through. In that station there is also a small private theater. The owner is very proud to tell his visitors, that his is the only theater worldwide, where the toilets are abroad, as the customs line goes through the middle of the building (there is no check of course, because you can't go anywhere except the toilets, but still..).
Oh, and by the way: "Our" airport is a swiss airport and it is situated in France (to be honest: it is divided in a swiss and a french part in the middle and you have to inform people you want to meet at the airport, through which exit they should leave, so you can meet them.
No, no she isn't lying..where I live (near cologne) I'm 2,5 hours away from Paris by train.
Being rowdy in public isn’t even an issue until you bother specific people verbally or physically. Like on the way to a football game, as long as you don’t stop to bother people sitting in a restaurant or enact physical violence towards anyone, you can act however you want.
What is a thing however, is when you insult a police officer directly insulting anyone in Germany is illegal (with a few specific exceptions) and they will use that violation as a reason to detain you, so just don’t hurt anyone and don’t mess with the police and you’re fine.
There is no workplace in Germany where you can legally drink alcohol. As a rule, this agreement is integrated into the employment contract. If it is not part of the employment contract, a separate agreement must be signed. As long as the employer doesn't notice that you drink alcohol during working hours (including breaks), or a colleague betrays you, you're in luck. Drinking alcohol during working hours is grounds for dismissal without notice!
in some states you can not even drink alcohol on your own front porch!!! You have to go to your backyard 😂😂😂 So much to the Land of the Free!!!
In Germany we have the "Wegbier" (=road/pathbeer). Drinking a beer on our way to a Party or visiting friends ;)
We have train that drive 320 kmh (that’s 199 mph in your unbelievable arbitrarily chosen units of measurement)…Munich to Paris is one of this ICE (Inter City Express) train connections where you can drive those 199 mph.
I call them Unicorn Units because the are from the British and they are the real Unicorn Hunters with there BREXFRAGGS disaster.
spoken like a real german. i had to see wheather i wrote it, because i instantly thought, thats how i would have phrased it.
im from bavaria and i can tell you you dont have to wait till lunch for your beer we have something called "frühschoppen"
thats basically beer and weiswurst for breakfast and if you go to the backery here in the morning you probably see some people already drinking
but its okey becaus its more seen as something cultural
Take a train in Finland! It's so much fun to spend a journey relaxing, instead of driving yourself. And it's a great skill to have if one's car ends up at the repair shop for a bit ;)
In Germany you can buy and drink wine and beer when you are 16 years old, and schnapps when you are 18 years old.
...the standard breakfast in Spain - for example - is going to a "Bar Restaurante" before work and an get a small strong coffee and a glas of Brandy...
Danke!
Thank you
Public transport in Europe is indeed much better than in the US, it isn't even comparable. As she said, you can travel from Munich to Paris in 6 hours - or from Saarbrücken which is right at the border to France, it only takes under 2 hours to get to Paris which is a 400 km / 250 miles ride so you ride at a max speed of 320 km/h or 200 miles / hour.
Additionally, public transport became very affordable in Germany in May with the introduction of the D-Ticket. It costs 49 EUR (53 US$) / month or even just 34,30 EUR (37 US$) / month if you buy it as a job ticket to get to and from work as well and allows you to use all buses, trams and trains except for the high speed trains in Germany for the whole month.
Yes, we do have mass shootings in Germany, the last one in march in Hamburg. But luckily it is quite rare compared to the US thanks to the strict gun laws
Hab ich was verpasst? Mass shooting?! Wann soll das wo in Hamburg gewesen sein? Ne Schießerei ja, aber kein Amoklauf in ner Schule oder so. Kein Irrer der auf dem Dom oder in nem Einkaufszentrum wahllos Menschen abgeknallt hat^^ Alta, was glaubst Du, was hier in Deutschland los wäre, wenn es prozentual so viel Waffengewalt wie in den VSA geben würde?!
I'm pretty sure there are exhibitionistic clubs in america too. maybe not explicit beaches but there are probably enough places that you are able to enter naked hm?
I once worked at a company where they offered Bavarian Weißwurstfrühstück (white sausage, sweet mustard, a pretzel and wheat beer) in the cafeteria every friday morning. And that wasn't even in Bavaria. My current company stopped serving alcohol at company parties in the officeyears ago, but if we're at a work event outside...
Also, sure. the TGV I took to Paris goes nonstop from Germany through Begium to Paris. Why wouldn't it?
...GMP... every food sinceteh invention of breeding has been modified...
The TGV/ICE from southern Germany to Paris is even faster on the french side.
The german side is still under construction regarding highspeed:
Wendlingen-Ulm is now open (with that beautiful bridge un the swabian alps),
but Hayley's video is 2 years old so it wasn't.
The Stuttgart-part is still missing but they are finally making some good steps forward constructionwise
(I was initially against that Stuttgart21-project due to it's complexity and high cost, but now, far into the constructions I'm looking forward for it to finish)
-> Munich-Paris is planned to be 4:38h only
@@DalaiDrama-hp6oj no. if you are a real german, you have to be AGAINST stutgard 21, thats very important 🙂
@@wolflarsen1900
Not sure what exactly you're saying:
Where is this "Stutgard"?
Denmark, Norway?
Why don't Germans like it? 😉
Regarding Stuttgart in BaWü (Germany) there was a referendum on that project after the Greens won the state-elections and it passed so more people FOR it there!
Ok, btt: With spending so much money on that train projekt around Stuttgart it sadens me that they do not "really" speed up the train between Ulm and Munich. Planned 200-230 km/h is not enough for our future to make lokal planes obsolete (take a look at France, Japan, Spain and China even egypt... we can do it).
Plus there should be build another speedy connection south imho (Stuttgart-Zürich-Gotthard-Milan)
since Stuttgart, Zurich and Milan metro area have each more than 4 millon people, much more than Munich, Hamburg or even Vienna.
-> I totally think this would be worth it, and I really hope that future Stuttgart 21 station can handle something like this with it's limited number of tracks!
public transport is also not costly at all if you use it a lot and buy a monthly subscription ticket. starting last week (1 may 2023) a "Deutschland Ticket" was introduced that costs *_only 49€ per month_* and allows to use ALL regional public transport (bus, tram, subway, trains, some ferries, etc) in ALL of germany (yes, even including real trains that stop at quite a few stations and thus don't have that high average speed and/or require to change train lines more often: but this still should allow to cross the entire country in less than 24 hours for no additional costs), with only an exception for those really fast long distance trains (IC, ICE) that you have to pay extra.
yeah putting Deutschland in the title makes everything better. geman ticket, german tact, german tempo. everything is better with german in it. long life holy germany
@@wolflarsen1900 we already had lots of regional tickets that were valid only for all public transport of one such regional company.
but to travel to even a neighboring area in the same state or in other states required to buy several tickets, and costs would add up a lot.
then they started a ticket that cost 49€ and was valid in all areas of all public transport companies in all of germany.
how would YOU call that ticket ? there are two names for it: the "49€ ticket" and the "Deutschlandticket".
would you prefer "the valid in all areas of all public transport companies in germany ticket", just to avoid having the word germany in the title?
*oh, it's still there :-)* and you are a troll ?
@@Anson_AKB wait, what? i was serious here! that wasnt joking^^ everything "really" gets better with germany in its title. How could you even think i meant that ironically 😞 and of course Deutschland ticket is the perfect name 🙂avoiding germany in its title.. Here somebody rally misunderstood me. long life holy germany!
@@wolflarsen1900 to me, it sounded as if you meant that they put "germany" (btw: german=deutsch, germany=Deutschland) in the name only to make it appear better, completely ignoring that it perfectly describes the area where it is valid (instead of the many old separate " ticket"), and then even close the messages with "holy" ...
thus either misinterpreted or sarcastic ... in written text and/or without smileys, all of this is not easy to detect.
@@Anson_AKB yes i give you that. it maybe wasnt very easy to understand ;-)
hey what is wrong with the messages with "holly" ...^^ thats what stauffenberg screamed as he was shot by the nazis
drinking in public is legal in germany, with a few exeptions like public transport or playgrounds, and it is even legal to drink alcohol while you drive your car as long as you stay under the blood alcohol level of 0.5 per mil.
Drinking in public transport is not forbidden in general. If individualy things are forbidden, it's told by signs (no icecream, no food, ...) The DB even sells alcohol on theire trains.
7000 km coast line in Denmark and you can go swimming naked EVERY where.
You can not run around naked, but you can undress, go in the water, come up and dress again.
It has to be like this, because if you go swimming in the winter, the swim wear can freeze to your skin.
There's real nudist beaches spread around the country, if you are such inclined.
Drinking in public is usually not a problem, usually near schools and playgrounds towns and cities prohibit it, not too bad of an idea in my opinion either, some cities prohibit alcohol in public for certain times in defined areas, usually night times to keep noise down, following the logic prohibit drinking here -> less drunk yelling and shouting people around, I do understand where they're coming from, I don't know how great the effect actually is. Drinking during the lunch break heavily depends on your employer. Although living in Bavaria myself, all the companies I worked for had a strict no-alcohol-policy in place, so a beer during lunch break was never an option for me, and I must say I don't mind at all.
Train ride from Munich Hbf to Paris Gare de l'Est: 836km (520mi), 5h40m travel time, 155€. Price checked a minute ago, no discounts applied, which would be possible. And now comes the clue: You get on the train in Munich and leave it in Paris. No need to change the train. Fact. Europe has grown together, and the railroad is what strengthens the connection between the countries.
Of course you can hop into the plane and fly over to Paris, but you need 45min to the airport in Munich, need to be there at least half an hour before boarding, 30min for boarding and taxi out, on a very busy day at the airport easily 45min to get to takeoff, fly for 1h30m, taxi in to the gate and get to the Métro easily another 45min, and 40min into the city again. Have done a quick check on last minute prices, starting at 308€ for a direct flight one-way ticket. (All prices mentioned are valid for SUN 28MAY2023 20:05UTC, Travel day: 29MAY2023)
"You can also drink what you have to eat."
Sounds much better in German:
"Man kann auch trinken, was man essen muß."
Nothing better than a cold beer on a hot day, even mor with a Weizen!😅
Drinking alcohol in public really isn't prohibited... there are exceptions though
Working under the influence is not allowed in most companies
Thanks for letting me know.
there is a big difference in having lunch that includes one beer and working after getting drunk, and it also depends on the kind of job you have like bus drivers etc.
drinking outside is generally allowed, with very few exceptions like in front of train stations where you might have lots of drunk people otherwise, but that is mostly caused by local rules of the landowners or regulations by transport companies (eg for the plaza in front of a train station) and not by a general law.
@@tcbiggz I am not really sure if this is "not allowed" it actually can not be forbidden as I think, except when it comes to safety at work.
One suggestion... She said she would need some help with two topics. So why don't you just scroll down and look at the comments after the end of the video and look out for some useful ones? This might enlighten you some more and put some corrections right ahead.
Take the alcoholic drinks for lunch as an example. In Bavaria, where she is located, beer is considered food. And years ago it was normal to eat a Brezel and drinking a beer for breakfast.
In these days a lot of companies have banned alcohol from consumption at working hours. And in other Bundesländern there never was such a cultural acceptance.
Germany seems to be small, but when you look at its history quite a few hundreds of years ago you see it was a lot of small regions, often they had their own currency and even measurements. And even though Europe is blessed with the Metric System today, there tend to be differences between people even within a Bundesland.
So, to make it short... Best you take such videos with a grain of salt.
You ever thought about reaching out to haley?
Not assuming i know her personally but i do like her videos and have been for a number of years. She is a sweet soul.
What is better than the other is depending on you view. America (namely the US) are a totally different aporoach which is absolutely different from Europe. In many things that are relevant for your life and how you want to life your life there is far more freedom in the US but also much more personal responsibility and ways to *uck things up.
GMOs is a huge grey area and has nothing to do with Germany because agricultural stuff is mostly decided by the EU government (just think of state law versus federal/EU law)
no brown paper bags in Germany for liquor 😂😂😂
😅🤣
So the term Land of the free seems like an illusive lie 😊
Lol
It is not liked if someone shows up after drinking alcohol, but it depends if it is 5 beers or one half Glas of wine. Also I think people have a high self responsibility. I for example would not dare to drink a drop of alcohol at work or lunch break because I know I get drunk easily and a tipsy employee is a risk. Same goes for nudity or alcohol in public. People will show that they are offended, Germans are reserved but not speechless. They make clear when they don't like how someone acts in public 😂
You can drive a train from köln to Edinburgh in 15 hours for 100 euro
Her Denglish ❤😂 mixing english and german
Her older videos together with Mike were always funny because of all the denglish they used there 😄😄
@@beldin2987 yes absolutly 🤣
drinking on the streets is the most normal thing in germany
Looking at american drug-problems, I don't consider a "Weg-Bier" a social threat ...
Anyway: Beer has been labeled a "nutrition" in Germany in many regions for a very long time and was even "obligated" to prenant women in Bavaria 🙈😂
12:22 More expensiv, shit regarding pollution but since you do not have a working traffic system on the ground, understandable.
beer in germany is considered liquid bread
I never thought about the "n-word" in a combination of no clothing, but the colour of the skin.
But yeah, if you just make a video like you could see a report on the German TV, UA-cam will makes it for adult only.
Soo if you are adult, and would like to know something about the background, why nudity is not a big issue in Germany, you may have a look at that video.
All I want to say about foreigners in Germany and alcohol: some people can't deal with "freedom of choice" 🙄
😂
FKK is awesome... try it, dont be shy and be prepared for loooots of 60yo. letting it hang loose (grannies and grandpas)... and after that experience try "swinger clubs" hahaha
In Germany u can be drunk af as long as u dont harass other people, thats pretty the definition of my teenage life
And yes, in Bavaria beer is as basic as mothers milk, if war would happen they would need to provide beer since its fundamental but drinking during work time will get u fired almost everywhere
And u laughing at the train system makes me laugh because Germans think its completely trash, unreliable and not worth the money
But you're now in Finland?
Live in Finland
Been almost a year
@@giobozzde and nudity is shoking? Aren't finns as adamant as germans about being nude in the sauna? :D
Nooo
Sauna and beach ain’t the same
People over hype that living here being around Finn’s
It’s not like that at all
Family nudity in sauna and public nudity ain’t the same
Based off what I’ve seen I doubt many Finn’s would go outside naked (beach) unless I live in the north of Finland and it’s just different
@@giobozzde Well, now that you're in Europe next to nothing is stopping you from taking a vacation in say...Croatia at one of the many nude beaches, camping places, hotels...
In the most german sauna it is forbidden to be dressed
GMO looks exactly like every other food. Europe is completely irrational about it. Basically it is just another way to modify plants like we modified literally every single plant we are using today.
da ist Giobozz schwer am atmen
Not only are you not penalsed for drinking on the street, I was kinda shocked it is illegal in the US. I knew you have to be a bit careful in Muslim countries, but in a secular country why wouldn't you? Also what will get you a fine is being drunk on the street, because than you are loud, a nuisance or dangerous to other people, but WHERE you drink? Who cares?
Americans need to loosen up a little 😂
So your not doing your own material...
Be careful Bayern is not really Germany, it is something extra.
ok just kidding.
Hey Gio,
we have modern trains compare them with your southwest-jets. Ok, mayby half the speed but no waiting around at an airport, no security hassl, nothing hop on and to your destination. And most train-stations are in the target city not 20 miles away .So our taurus-locomotives reach max. 230 kpH while the German ICE goes up to 300+kpH and the french TGV up to 400 kpH. Any more questions?
And I am happy as a bunny living in a country where I don't have to worry that some prick in the street wants to shoot my eye out. Here he maybe wants to but he can't, because of gun restrictions. So I can say what I want to whom I want every time. As long as it is not to offensive.
don`t forget austria
grow mofu grooow lol
The Highspeed railway system in the EU is connecting Citys from Helsinki to Athens.
Hier jemand aus Finnland. Maybe you can tell me, how to take the train from Finland/ Helsinki to Germany. I would like to use that next summer, I would like to visit Berlin. There is, to my knowledge al lot of water between Helsinki and Tallinn.
@@85sharifa55 I am someone from Germany who has experience with Interrail and other international train travel within the EU and continental Europe.
The statement that you can travel purely by train from Helsinki to Athens is not true. For the most part it is possible, but not one hundred per cent:
- First of all, it is a fact that there are no international train connections to and from Greece.
- There are very few cross-border rail services on the Balkan peninsula in general. But there are long-distance bus connections.
- This is equally true for the Baltic States, although not for long, as the "Rail Baltica" project is currently being implemented, which is a high-speed connection from Warsaw to Tallinn via Kaunas and Riga, to be completed by 2026. It is even planned to tunnel under the Gulf of Finland for road and rail in the future to connect Helsinki with Tallinn and thus with Rail Baltica.
How you can travel from Helsinki to Athens with trains and a few buses, I will explain here, but you must be aware that you will only like it if the journey is the goal, or if you like travelling with trains and you like such long voyages (I know, you just want to reach Berlin; more information at the bottom*):
- First of all, there are two to three (rail) routes out of Finland that vary in length:
-> The longest route, which is almost entirely by rail, is via Tornio, where you have to walk a few hundred metres across the border to Haparanda, where you can then travel by rail (with a change of trains) to all of Central, Western and Southern Europe (the Balkans partly excluded), as well as the UK. From Germany, e.g. Hamburg or Berlin, there are direct connections to Vienna (most of them are overnight trains). From there you can travel directly to Budapest. (Thanks to the former double monarchy?) From there, you can reach Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, via Russe with a pure train connection. Between here and Athens, there are long-distance bus connections to Thessaloniki, from where you can travel to Athens by train.
-> The middle route differs only slightly from the longest route and only in the way you get out of Finland: by ferry to Stockholm, from where you continue by train as in the first variant.
-> The shortest variant is via the ferry connection from Helsinki to Tallinn, a train connection from Tallinn to Riga, from there by bus to Vilnius/Kaunas, and then via a train connection from Warsaw to Vienna. From there you have to travel as already described.
I recommend that you check the interrailplanner(dot)com site to see what kind of connection is available, even though it does not show all possible routes and local connections are almost not shown. The route via Tornio and Haparanda, for example, is not listed. The Planner does not give you any specific train/bus/ferry lines, but it does show you the type of transport. If you are travelling with an Interrail ticket, you must find out in advance about possible additional, sometimes obligatory reservations and their costs. As a rule, the cheapest way to book them is directly with the railway companies. Some can only be purchased at ticket offices. The number of reservations for Interrail Pass holders may also be limited. If you have further questions, you can find detailed information on the Interrail ticket page as well as on the Interrail subreddit.
*TO BERLIN:
To travel to Berlin, I recommend using either the medium-length or shortest connection out of Finland, unless you are a train enthusiast and enjoy long train journeys. Both the longest and the medium-length connections inevitably take you via Stockholm, from where you can reach Berlin via Copenhagen and Hamburg with several changes. I have heard of a direct connection from Stockholm to Berlin, but it is supposed to be seasonal. However, if you choose the shortest connection, at least in terms of kilometres, even if only just, you can reach Berlin directly from Warsaw.
@@85sharifa55 Propably a secret train, like the one that will take you to Hogwarts. At Helsinki main station try to find a platform between the platforms and you will find it.
No, you either have to pick a plane or a ferry. Or mabybe a slower route by bus or car. But a rail connection will be there someday in the future, if they agree to build that tunnel to Tallinn and extend Rail Baltica that way. It would be a very good decission. Expensive, but great for travel.
It's a shame that we're commenting on this one. Construction of this rail connection should have been started all the way back in 2004, when your neighbours became members of the EU. Or maybe even earlier than that. This should have been a priority. Great for tourism and economy.
@@85sharifa55 I checked the website of the German DB-Rail company and they suggest in order to go to Finnland from here to take a Train to Stockholm (If you live in the middle or southern part of Germany, you switch trains in Hamburg) then take a ship from Stockholm to Turku, and then again trains to Helsinki. Since the ship needs more than 11 hours, the total ride from for example Düsseldorf might take 35 to 40 hours. To Berlin from Helsinki they also suggest the same way, the total travel time should be 30 to 34 hours.
