Scenic train trips in Europe

Europe’s efficient rail network makes connecting the dots between historic cities on a tailor made rail holiday convenient and hassle free. But rail holidays in Europe offer so much more than convenience with the chance to weave in some of the world’s most scenic train journeys.

Switzerland is a powerhouse for scenic train trips with Jungfrau Mountain Railway, Glacier Express and the Bernina Express forming the big three, each taking in breath-taking alpine scenery.

In Norway, the Flamsbana is the pick of the bunch. One of the world’s steepest railways, it winds it way from Myrdal and Flam in the heart of the Norwegian Fjords.

We create holidays that are as individual as you are. And we’ve been doing it for 40 years, crafting each and every holiday using our in-depth knowledge and enthusiasm for our destinations. Whatever your brief, we’ll create an amazing trip for you to get excited about. That might mean adapting one of our existing itineraries or we’ll build you one from scratch.
