\n Want to explore a different side of Europe? From Cologne\u2019s Carnival to Innsbruck\u2019s pistes, this train route goes deeper.
\n ADVERTISEMENTEurope\u2019s newest long-distance rail route is ready to get rolling.On 5 February, European Sleeper launched its overnight route connecting Brussels and Venice. But it\u2019s more than a convenient way to travel from Belgium to Italy.The sleeper train will stop at nine cities in total, cutting through the Netherlands, Germany, European ski centres in the Alps and finally into Italy.\u00a0If you want to see more than the inside of a sleeper carriage, here are four great destinations to visit along the way.Eat, drink and be merry in Brussels, Belgium\u2019s most diverse destinationWhether the end or start of your journey, Brussels might tempt you to stay longer than you planned.The de facto capital of the European Union is Belgium\u2019s most cosmopolitan city. By far.More than 60 per cent of its population is foreign-born, and the city\u2019s rich food and drink scene reflects this exceptional diversity.Southeast of the Palace of Justice, Matong\u00e9 – Brussels\u2019 African quarter – offers a gourmet stroll alongside art nouveau and neo-gothic buildings like the Saint-Boniface church.\u00a0In the city centre, you\u2019ll find Vietnamese pho, Syrian-Armenian flatbreads and Hawaiian poke inside the Wolf food hall and in bistros across the Sablon and Marolles districts.You can enjoy all this as the locals do, while sampling sour lambic beers and Belgian ales along an informal pub crawl. Some venues, such as \u00c0 la Mort Subite, have been open for more than 100 years.\u00a0Explore the Netherlands\u2019 maritime history and modernist architecture in RotterdamThe Netherlands\u2019 second city is as defined by the future as much as its past.While much of the city was destroyed in the 1940s during WW2, some of its old city has been preserved.The historic marina along the Nieuwe Maas river, Delfshaven, used to be a hub for herring fishermen and gin distillers. Today its historic canal houses contain antique shops, cafes, breweries and, fittingly, gin bars, all built around De Destilleerketel, a windmill towering over the flat waterside district.The city is an architect\u2019s dream, too. Buildings such as the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, the mirror-covered art centre that boasts a sustainable energy system and its own heat and cold storage, and the Markthal, an indoor market enclosed by apartments that wrap around it in a horseshoe shape, represent Rotterdam\u2019s progressive spirit.Dress up for Carnival in CologneCologne boasts 2,000 years of history along the Rhine River. Its high gothic cathedral and cobblestoned centre are sights to behold.ADVERTISEMENTBut it might be as well-known for its raucous Carnival, or Fastelovend, as it\u2019s called in Cologne.The city comes alive for the \u2018five crazy days\u2019 before Ash Wednesday to mark the beginning of Lent. The whole city dons colourful costumes, including many garish red-and-white wigs. Revellers crawl from pub to pub drinking \u2018k\u00f6lsch\u2019, a pale hoppy beer. Parades fill the streets, culminating with the biggest on Rose Monday – Rosenmontag – when the \u2018blaue funken\u2019 or blue sparks lead an 8-km route.More than one million people visit Cologne for Carnival. When you experience it, you\u2019ll understand why it\u2019s not just one of Europe\u2019s largest street festivals. It\u2019s one of the most popular, too.Race down the piste, hike or see another side of InnsbruckWhen you\u2019re in the Alps, there are a few must-do activities and must-see attractions.ADVERTISEMENTThe Bergisel ski jump towers over the city, giving you a good indication of Innsbruck\u2019s top draw. The skiing here is second to none, thanks to its excellent ski-in, ski-out hotels, off-piste destinations and infrastructure.If you visit in summer, you can hike the same hills you ski down in winter. The rolling wooded mountains feature well-connected panoramic trails. Spanning 2 km to 33 km, they are suitable for all levels, too.But there\u2019s more to Innsbruck than outdoor sports.You can visit the ornate imperial palace, be dazzled by the abundance of crystals at Swarovski Crystal Worlds, swim in the art nouveau Hallenbad Amraser Strasse pool and explore the old town, where you\u2019ll find the iconic \u2018golden roof,\u2019 a shimmering fa\u00e7ade built for Emperor Maximilian I.\u00a0ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
