Some Train Journeys You Should Take At Least Once In Your Life

By Cindy Hannah


When it comes to trains and railroads, there is a lot of romance associated with them. So what are the train rides that can grab your imagination or ones that have pushed the boundaries of technology?

Orient Express

The Orient Express is probably the most famous train in the world. This has inspired countless novels based in mystery, murder and romance. The trip from Paris to Istanbul on the Orient Express is one you will remember forever.

Royal Scotsman

The Royal Scotsman is another famous train that you will want to take; it takes in England Scotland and Wales. This is a very luxurious train trip that will take a week to complete.

Eurotunnel

Experience the Eurotunnel from Folkestone to Paris where you can go from Britain to France in a 35 minute train ride. Travelling under the English Channel is something that will either excite you or terrify you but one thing is certain, it is an experience not to be missed. The biggest problem with this trip however, is that it is so short. If you are planning to go to Euro Disney in Paris, then this really is the best way to travel.

Arctic Circle Express

If you want to travel from Sweden to Norway then the Arctic Circle Express is one journey not to miss. Beginning your train ride in Stockholm and finishing in Oslo over two weeks later this train trip encourages exploration of some of the best scenery in the world and is not to be missed.

Trans Siberian Express

Of course no list of this kind would be complete without mentioning the Trans-Siberian Express. This epic journey will take you across no less than seven time zones where you sleep on the train by night and tour cities by day.
