Race across the world in real life 🚎🚝 (Hamburg to London)

Hamburg to London without flying...

Ever wondered what Race Across the World would look like in real life? I set off on an overnight coach journey from Hamburg to Brussels, followed by the Eurostar train back to London — all on a tight budget and tight schedule.

In this travel documentary, you’ll see what it’s really like to take a FlixBus across Europe, including an honest FlixBus review from Hamburg to Brussels. Is it comfortable? How bad is FlixBus really? I’ll show you everything from the onboard experience to navigating early-morning arrival in Brussels.

Then it’s onto the next leg: a high-speed dash on the Eurostar Paris–London line, boarding in Brussels and crossing under the Channel Tunnel direct to St Pancras. Expect a detailed Eurostar vlog including tips, timings, and a no-nonsense Eurostar train review.

If you're into budget travel, train travel, or a fan of British TV shows like Race Across the World on BBC iPlayer, this one’s for you. A real-world look at how to travel Europe without flights – just buses and trains.

📍 Includes scenes from:
– Hamburg city (see my last video for a Hamburg travel guide)
– Brussels North station
– Eurostar check-in and border control
– Arriving at London St Pancras
