Opening Hours
Arguably the most pleasing of all the ways to get from A to B, train travel has long been a favourite mode of transport with Original Travel. If you agree, we will always try to weave a train trip into your itinerary, because it allows you the chance to really appreciate your destination in a way air travel just can’t, and without the faff inherent in driving yourself.
There's also an undeniable romance to this particular form of
'slow travel', although if you find yourself on board a Japanese
bullet train speeding along at 200 mph the epithet 'slow' might not
really apply.
We know the finest rail routes - many involving stupendous feats of
tunnel and bridge engineering - in our favourite destinations
around the world and can talk you through which elegant
compartments to book on the most luxurious trains. Settle back,
watch beautiful scenery drifting by, order a drink from the passing
waiter and enjoy travel at its most civilised.
