Spontaneous travel starts here

Get ready to embrace that "pack your bags, we’re off" feeling. With Snap, you can book a spur-of-the-moment trip to one of Europe’s most exciting cities and still enjoy the same great experience on board.​

You pick your travel dates and time slot*, we pick your train times, and you get up to 50% off the price of your tickets**. Sometimes it pays to be spontaneous.​

If you can be flexible with your travel times, this is the deal for you.
