Mind you, it isn't as if they don't have nice railway stations in German, they certainly do, but sadly Saarbrucken really isn't one of them. However, while the station may not be all that great, the trains certainly are, unless you happen to be crossing over into France they you will actually discover that Europe isn't all flashy highspeed rail (though I do remember they did run a high speed train through here to Paris). Mind you, as I mentioned, the trains are fairly frequent, and the station isn't all that bad either, it's just not too fancy.

This station is easily described as fine, but nothing special. There is a nice little bookstore, at…read moreleast two different bakeries, and clear signage for the tracks. The parking is affordable and attached to the station. We purchased our tickets online so I cannot speak to the ticket counter here. Our train to Paris ran 55 mins late which caused me to realize there is very little seating available on the platform. They offer free WiFi, so that's nice, however it's limited to only 30 mins. Which, again, I probably wouldn't have docked any points for if my train hadn't been running almost an hour late.

We went to Strasbourg on a Sunday in December, arriving by train from Colmar and departing to Paris…read moreless than six hours later. We wasted the first of those precious hours trapped inside the station, my kids and I going stir-crazy in a crowded waiting area while my mom went on a long, difficult quest for a storage locker. I guess there aren't enough lockers to serve the hordes of tourists coming into town for the Christmas markets because my mom had to leave the station and walk another ten minutes to find a place to leave our luggage. Something to keep in mind if you're doing a day trip to Strasbourg. Travel light, or budget time to stash your bags. Otherwise, the station was nice. I didn't appreciate the architecture until we were coming back, but the structure was striking, with a modern glass canopy laid over the historical facade. Trains were easy, and the station was a reasonable walk from the Christmas markets, which I assume were in the center of town. I'd recommend coming in through Strasbourg Station if you're visiting Strasbourg. Just best to give yourself some breathing room when you build your schedule.

As a resort town, Baden Baden is a place where you can easily get spoiled. If the clean and…read morebeautiful train station is your first sight of the city, you'll get a taste of what to expect once you get into town. If you're arriving, you'll find that it's easy to get from your train to the main building. There's a decent sized parking lot, and buses run just next to the train station. If you're departing and get there early, head over to Coffee Fellows for a drink and a snack. The place will be crowded, but if you can grab a seat, you can sip your beverage and take advantage of free WiFi before your train arrives. If you need some last minute snacks, gifts, or books, there's a small bookstore that is surprisingly well stocked with all of the essentials. No matter where your journey takes you, if part of it includes the Baden-Baden train station, it's already off to a great start!

The Mainz train station is pretty standard for Europe. We had to catch a very early train to the…read moreairport for our flight home and overall I'd say we had an average experience here. The ticketing was fairly frustrating, but we'd grown accustomed to that as the electronic ticketing system in Germany, despite there being an English option, is not at all easy to navigate unless you are familiar with it. By this time in our trip we knew what to expect and had built in some time to navigate it and had a vague idea of what we needed so it went fairly well, but with the same little computer hiccups we'd come to expect from the system. The overall train station was, in my opinion, a bit grimy, and well loved, but it had some little cafes that were open early which was a win, and some fairly clean restrooms, though you had to go all the way to the basement for them. Overall, not a lot to report here. It could be modernized, cleaned up a bit, and improved, but it gets the job done.
