European train stations are generally open. Passengers can enter and exit the station freely and take the train at any time, and there is no ticket inspection on the platform. After the train starts, the conductor will check the tickets on the train. If you don't have a ticket, you can buy one on the spot, and the cost will be the same. The station has both manual ticket windows and automatic ticket machines, as well as restaurants, shops, restrooms, baggage rooms, and tourist inquiry offices and other services. Some train stations even have showers, which is very convenient for self-service travelers.
