A note before you act: entry and transport policies can change. Recheck the official source relevant to your nationality and route before departure.

Your passport is your ticket

International travelers typically book against their passport details. Use the same document at station security and boarding gates, and make sure every name and number matches exactly.

Choose the right station

Large cities have several major stations, sometimes far apart. Read the full station name and allow time for city traffic rather than searching only by city.
