We set out to bring them some trade by creating the Trainline Guide to Europe’s Most-Overlooked Attractions. Yup, working with experts we identified attractions ranging from a Nose Museum to some Beer Pools to the Museum of the Occult (where we met a legit alchamist) to the David Hasselhoff Museum in Berlin.
