Seat Reservation

Especially if you're facing a longer journey, it's advisable to reserve a seat. This way, you won't have to rush and can relax during the train ride.

Ticket and Identification

Even though it's obvious to most, you should always make sure to pack your ticket and passport. For extra security, store your ticket in a waterproof sleeve. This protects it well against moisture, among other things.
