When you are traveling in foreign countries, you will probably end up taking more train rides than you ever take back home. An overnight train ride can be a fun and pleasant experience, but if you really want to make it the most relaxing and ensure you get a decent night’s sleep, rent out all four berths of your compartment for you alone or you and your traveling partner. If you can afford it, this is a great way to stretch out and have the room to get comfortable and sleep. Plus, you won't have to deal with any strangers in the car trying to talk your ear off all night if you just want to get some shut eye.
