European High-Speed Rail Network

The European High-Speed Rail Network is an extensive system of high-speed trains connecting major cities across Europe, enabling rapid and efficient travel. Using advanced rail technology, these trains typically reach speeds over 250 km/h (155 mph), reducing travel times significantly compared to conventional trains or cars. The network promotes sustainable transport by lowering carbon emissions and easing congestion. It links key economic and cultural centers, facilitating business, tourism, and commerce. While each country manages its own infrastructure, interconnected routes form a seamless, continent-wide system that enhances mobility and integration within Europe.
