At the last minute, I decided to add five days to my month-of-March European trip and spend those days in Paris. Berlin is my last stop before then, and I am trying to decide how to make the transit.
I much prefer train travel, and neither cost nor time is an issue. But I do notice that rail from Berlin to Paris is about 8 1/2 hours including two stops. I’m in no hurry to get there, but that long on a train can be pretty tiring.
For people who have done the trip, what is your preference and why?
Also, for those recommending air, how long in advance should a person book the flight? Also, do you have a preferred carrier? Is there one that you would avoid?
Thank you very much.
