The most beautiful train journeys

Traveling by train is truly something special, because you can see the world through a completely different perspective. Mystical landscapes, picturesque and lush nature, and pristine forests are just added value to a somewhat different journey, where we comfortably settle down and simply consume the vast plains of our planet. Switzerland, Great Britain, Canada and Australia are just a few of the destinations we offer you. Good luck!

Pacific coast, from Christchurch to Picton, New Zealand
It promises a stunning and wonderful train journey Kiwi Rail, with which we cross 175 bridges, the Clarence River and admire picturesque vineyards on an unforgettable train ride from the mountains of New Zealand to the coast. The second half of the journey takes us through coastal towns and whale watching before heading towards the Canterbury Plains, New Zealand's largest flat area.

The Swiss Chocolate Train, from Montreux to Broc, Switzerland
The only downside to the "chocolate train" is that it only operates between June and October, but that can also be a good thing, as the Swiss landscape is absolutely magnificent during this time. The sweet trip is organized by GoldenPass Services and Cailler-Nestlé and includes a visit to a cheese factory in Gruyères and a Nestlé chocolate factory in Broc. Surprise or not - the ride is even sweeter, as they gladly serve us delicious croissants. Probably filled with chocolate.

Rovos Train, Pretoria to Victoria Falls, South Africa
The 1,599-kilometre journey from Pretoria to Victoria Falls on the luxurious Rovos train is much more than just a connection between two destinations. After boarding the train in Pretoria, we travel through Mafikeng into Botswana and then swing it north towards Mahalapye, crossing the Tropic of Capricorn. Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River are the last stop.

Great Southern Railway, Adelaide to Darwin, Australia
In three days, we can hope for the desert of a lifetime, as the Great Southern Railway winds its way through Australia, almost three thousand kilometers long. Still, the trip is fantastic. We stop at Alice Springs and the Nitmiluk National Park, and the train ride is extremely comfortable, as we can rest in a pleasant cafe and restaurant.
