Train Travel




Rail travel is one of the most relaxing and easy ways to see the beauty of any country. Our train travel tips will help you decide which country you want to utilize train travel in. There are wonderful train companies all over the world to experience and enjoy.


U.S.: In the United States of America, we have the Amtrak trains. Amtrak trains are varied: High-speed Acela trains whisk riders between Boston and Washington DC at speeds of up to 150-mph/250-km/h; Northerners trade a dozen hours in traffic for a hassle-free Auto Train-trip to Orlando theme parks; and Coast Starlight guests are pampered as they thrill to breathtaking views along the Pacific shore. Services range from frequent commuter runs with Quiet Cars and WiFi to long-distance trains with spectacular views and hotel-style amenities.

CANADA: The Whistler Mountaineer provides you with an exclusive look at some of the most spectacular views in British Columbia. Following the famous Sea-to-Sky corridor, this three-hour Canadian passenger train experience is a link between two world-class destinations, showcasing Vancouver to Whistler, British Columbia, like never before. The route delivers the unique blend of contrasts that the Sea-to-Sky region is famous for: cities and old-growth forests, bustling action and natural serenity, deep valleys and snow-capped mountain peaks, seascapes and mountain views.
Travelling onboard the Rocky Mountaineer train is The Only Way to see the Canadian Rockies. The two-day rail journey offers an unforgettable Canadian passenger train experience considered by many to be a trip of a lifetime. Recapturing the romance of rail travel, the Rocky Mountaineer follows the historic route constructed over 100 years ago through Canada's West and the Canadian Rockies, uniting the country. The entire train ride takes place during daylight hours to ensure you enjoy every minute of the breathtaking scenery of glacier-fed lakes, majestic mountains ranges and ferocious rivers.
VIA Rail is the national train system for Canada. Taking a train through Canada gives you a wonderful opportunity to see the magnificent grandeur of the Canadian country.


AUSTRALIA: Australia's largest passenger railway operates along three of the country's most important intercity corridors. "The Overland," links Melbourne and Adelaide; "Indian Pacific," travels from Sydney to the Perth and the remote West coast; and "The Ghan," connects Adelaide and Darwin via Alice Springs.
