Rail holidays provide a unique chance to really get to know a place, witnessing spectacular landscapes and experiencing the diversity of a country’s terrain.

There is a simple magic to a train journey: feasting on snacks and hot tea as you wind through paddy fields and small villages, along golden coasts and through crumbling mountain ranges.

Moments for chatter with other passengers, moments for quiet and self-reflection, and not to mention the romance of overnight train travel, nestling down and drifting off to the gentle motion of the train.
