Creator's Key Takeaways

We'll show you everything, the good, the bad, and the ugly. And yes, even a few embarrassing moments I probably wish I could take back.

The train felt far more efficient, comfortable, and even less expensive. Plus, we had watched plenty of videos of people riding the trains, and we wanted to see it for ourselves.

On paper, there are temporary travel passes, cards, lines, rules, but in practice, it felt confusing and chaotic.

If you're traveling internationally where schedules are tighter and you want to make the most of every day, the last thing you want is to spend an hour or two just trying to figure out why your all-in-one pass didn't work.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack light and use laundry facilities to make moving between cities easier.
Keep valuables in a single backpack under constant control when using public transport.
Use Google Maps and ensure you have a working cell phone for navigating the metro.
Eat breakfast at your accommodation if you have a kitchenette to save money.
