Not a place in particular, but if you're driving, avoid any border crossings during peak holiday seasons. Specifically when you're crossing from the EU into non-EU countries or crossing from Schengen into non-Schengen area. During peak times you might be waiting at the border for hours.

Don't drive! You're in Europe... trains go fucking everywhere!

Well, there are some exceptions. This year, I'm travelling by train to all my holiday destinations, but the last connection I will fly because the trains run in such a stupidly way.

Yea - my statement is generally accurate for Western Europe. Eastern Europe, especially the Balkans, is awful for high-speed coverage.

In my case actually Western Europe, but a very specific connection that would either need to go through the alps (which means slow speeds and switching trains a lot) or take a huge detour via Paris.

The high speed Internet coverage is quite the opposite though.
