Love this. Such a great idea to talk about carbon footprints and environmental policy while showing highlights of the train journey. Travel, art, plant-based food, and sustainability ... great vibe. Thanks!
Hi Sarah, thanks for making these videos, your videos made me more interested in train travel and I like, trains are the best. I hope to see another video of you again, thanks for sharing them!
The words you're using from 04:08, do you mind if I copy you in a video for the train between Oslo airport and Oslo central station (I didn't took a plane, but I'm trying to reach out to people that do fly in that video and make a nice trip report at the same time). I just love your content and your motivation, we share the same motivation when it comes to this :).
Sarah there are not two stations with Hamburg in them but there are THREE stations. Heading into Hamburg the train will call at Hamburg-Harburg which just serves a small area so do not get off there. Then comes Hamburg Hauptbahnhof or Hamburg Main Station and lastly most trains call and terminate at Hamburg Altona station.
it's actually four since every train that stops at Hbf and Altona will stop at Dammtor as well. Highly recommend getting on at Altona or Dammtor if you spend a few days in Hamburg. Usually it's a lot easier and less crowded and might actually be faster depending on where you stay.
This is really interesting because I’m sure planning to go to Sweden for Eurovision in May and trying to work out the best way to get there from London.
Hey, I’m doing the same! 😊 I’m going via Brussels and staying a night there, before heading to Malmö the next day (via Cologne and Hamburg). Maybe see you en route. 😁
Really really loved this video Sarah, so wonderful to see all the different places you can experience in one trip when you travel by train. Also loved that there was a quiet sauna and a chatty sauna - such a good idea! Incredible to see the innovation happening at that architecture practice too - thanks for sharing :)
As a dutch person it hurts to hear tourists say that Copenhagen is supergreat for cycling/sustainability but about Amsterdam they didn't say a word about it🥴
True. I mean I'm from the Copenhagen area, and Dutch cities are so much better than anything we have here. Like we have so many excessive cars, unpleasant, dangerous, and polluting megaroads, and very bad intersections. Like what were they thinking. They even have better cycling infrastructure standards in Malmö.
@@drdewott9154 true, Denmark is great though and wins from the Netherlands in many points. But for cycling and infrastructure the Netherlands still takes the dub
What a lovely video. Gotta say, on the Danish train, you were really lucky to have one of those guys coming by and selling snacks. Its a measure DSB has introduced since 2020 called "Kaffe Expressen", which they've been testing as a replacement for their old snack trolleys, which they stopped using almost a decade ago. Though tbh its a bit of a mess. You won't even know if they'll show up at all when booking a ticket, or depending on which service you're on. Like DSB on their website said they would only be on "select Lightning trains", and the Hamburg train isn't a lightning train. They really need to improve on that stuff ngl. And its great to see you enjoy Copenhagen. Coming from a local, I will say though we definitely have problems with excessive car use, and especially subpar public transit. Like the Trains and Metro are good, but the buses are really subpar, and that, combined with less than desireable reliability and high prices compared to commuting by car (not to mention the free parking on Sundays like I swear to god), and you get a huge chunk of the population who could be taking sustainable transit, instead polluting with their cars instead, all due to a lack of policy to make transit more attractive. Many Dutch cities are at least a decade ahead of us in Copenhagen when it comes to sustainable urban planning. In short we do a lot of things right that would be hard for other places, but we fail on some of the most basic stuff, like having affordable public transit, or having buses that don't get stuck in traffic. Or y'know stop investing in expanding or building new highways. I mean if you want an idea of how bad we still are, just look at the vanity project that is the Artificial island of Lynetteholm, or the way the Metro is financed. The Mock village in Lund is cute though. We have several like that in Denmark, including one in the north of Copenhagen called "Frilandsmuseet". But the biggest and most famous one is in Aarhus, Denmarks 2nd largest city, which has "Den Gamle by". Which has moved buildings representing towns all the way from the 1860's, all the way through the many years until the mid 1970's and soon even the 2010's, with a new entrance making it so you enter in the 2010's area and go further back in time the further into the museum you go. Highly reccomend it if you ever stop by Denmark again. Also Sweden did have plans for a high speed network at the same speeds as the Eurostar connecting its 3 largest cities. However the new right wing swedish government elected a few months ago cancelled the whole thing despite widespread public support, and based on their recent claims, they really don't seem to understand railways at all. That's all, sorry for the long comment.
@@sarahb.m.5730 Oh yeah it is the old Post office. I can recognise from the view. The whole area that the former post terminal was located on is being redeveloped with a new bank HQ and a bunch of towers that'll actually be the tallest in that part of the city.
Hi Sarah Thank you for making these videos which both entertain and inform and are really interesting, please keep up the good work. I would really like to know what equipment you use; camera, mic, editing software etc. perhaps you might consider giving us some info on that. Anyway have a wonderful Christmas and an adventurous 2023. Richard
Thanks Richard! I use a canon m50 mark ii for the nicer shots and then sony zv1 for the face-camera and out and about exploring shots - as well as my iphone. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year! x
So the trip is pretty cheap then. Not sure if you're speaking Swedish or not. I'm living in England and I wanted to take this trip with my kids, rather than flying. My kids are 20 and 11 on the time of travelling. Seems pretty cheap. I'm Swedish and my kids are half Swedish and half English, their dad's English
Hi, Sarah Thank you so much for sharing your precious journey. I'm from East Malaysia. May I know how much does it cost per person/stop for the train fare? Thank you. Really appreciate it.
I agree with your take on lesser taking flights in order to reduce your carbon footprint. I don’t see the differences of reasons why. Family, work or leisure doesn’t make a difference for earth but are widely diverse on personal reasons. We shouldn’t judge people on the reasons they travel
Hi Marie, it's not really about judging people's personal choices. Flying is not going to stop and is necessary is some situations so we need to find a way to prioritise the flights that are needed, both through policy and personally. Also when I first started to think about my personal flights a few years I found it helpful to prioritise the flights that I thought at the time were the most important e.g visiting family in America so I thought it might to be helpful to others too. x
In fact there are green craft using anti-gravitic technology being used by the USA navy for the last 4 decades. Oil companies do not want this technology as it is the end of oil.
Love this. Such a great idea to talk about carbon footprints and environmental policy while showing highlights of the train journey. Travel, art, plant-based food, and sustainability ... great vibe. Thanks!
Ah thank you so much! Very much appreciated xx
What a great video! It was lovely meeting you and your mom briefly on the train ♥️!
Wow so nice
Stockholm's one of the great cities, but I'm glad you saw the likes of Malmö and Lund too. Uppsala and Norrköping are also nice if you're ever back!
Yeh I loved it so much and definitely plan to go back - my family also recommended one of those I think - added to my bucket list xx
I love trains so this would be my default mode of travelling to Sweden, I'd only consider flying if I had to be there quickly on short notice
Hi Sarah, thanks for making these videos, your videos made me more interested in train travel and I like, trains are the best.
I hope to see another video of you again, thanks for sharing them!
Well you have sold me on Denmark and Sweden..... Great vlog..
Thank you x

@@ft4709 correct I had totally forgotten about H - Dammtor!
I love your videos, and especially this one - absolutely beautiful! 🥰❤️
Thanks so much Juliet, I appreciate your time and your kind words so much xx
It would have been nicer if you put the sum up fare. But such an informative video. New subscriber here 💖
Such a lovely video, what a vibe and aesthetic!! Cant wait for the next one!
This is really interesting because I’m sure planning to go to Sweden for Eurovision in May and trying to work out the best way to get there from London.

Next time go in the summer! Loved this and sent it to friends in the UK.
Thank you for your delightful, entertaining and informative videos. You’re an inspiration. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 🎄
This is far too kind Stephen, thank you! I hope you have a lovely Christmas and New Year x

...Keep them coming!... I don't mind the sermons...
The bigger German stations always seem to have a wide selection of food outlets. Yum
Yeh I was impressed - it was so tasty x

My dream go to London 😢from Morocco 🇲🇦
I love Sweden 🇸🇪 I have Finnish 🇫🇮in my blood ancestors
I think your hotel in Copenhagen is the newly renovated post office
Oh really! We were wondering what the building would have been before - I'll let my mum know. Thank you!
@@sarahb.m.5730 Oh yeah it is the old Post office. I can recognise from the view. The whole area that the former post terminal was located on is being redeveloped with a new bank HQ and a bunch of towers that'll actually be the tallest in that part of the city.

How much did it cost?
I didnt know that there was a train ride possible on the bottom off the sea...
So the trip is pretty cheap then. Not sure if you're speaking Swedish or not. I'm living in England and I wanted to take this trip with my kids, rather than flying. My kids are 20 and 11 on the time of travelling. Seems pretty cheap. I'm Swedish and my kids are half Swedish and half English, their dad's English
Hi, Sarah Thank you so much for sharing your precious journey. I'm from East Malaysia. May I know how much does it cost per person/stop for the train fare? Thank you. Really appreciate it.
Hi John, I've put the price in the description below the video x
Wonderful video! However, Sweden's third largest city is Malmö not Malmo.

@@sarahb.m.5730 I totally agree on that. Just reacting because importance varies person to persom ;-)
@@LiquidShivaz yeh that’s totally fair. Good point. A holiday may well be more important to someone than visiting family. X

It's a shame that the Hamburg to Copenhagen train no longer goes onto the ferry. That was a great experience.
