Traveling by train is the epitome of the idea that the journey can be every bit as meaningful as the destination. It’s a mode of transportation that has not only stood the test of time, but remains arguably the most comfortable, relaxing and romantic ways to get from A to B. And few regions of the world offer the amount of inter-connectivity, rail travel heritage and environmental variation that you’ll find when traveling by train through Europe. But when it comes to the question of ‘what’s the most scenic train ride in Europe?’, that\u2019s ultimately for you to decide. Here, in no particular order, are 10 of the most scenic train rides in Europe for you to consider. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Glacier Express, Switzerland<\/span><\/h2>\n

Leave life in the fast lane for the slowest train in the world, the Glacier Express. You\u2019ll ascend over 6,600 feet to the top of the Oberalp Pass, cruising through tunnels, past rows of spruce, and across the mountainside. This train travels at a leisurely 24mph, much of it through a UNESCO World Heritage listed site, allowing you to take in the beauty of the Swiss mountains in around 8 hours. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fine food and dining can be enjoyed on one of the world\u2019s greatest train journeys through the Swiss Alps. It would seem a shame not to toast one the amazing views with a crisp Swiss white, and one of the best onboard is the Johannisberg Cuv\u00e9e Sp\u00e9ciale Glacier Express.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\"Glacier<\/p>\n

What is the most beautiful train ride in the Alps?<\/h3>\n

With its panoramic views and guaranteed window seats, the Glacier Express won the 2023 World Luxury Travel Award in the category “Train Tours”. We\u2019d say that crowns it as one of the most beautiful train rides in the Alps.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bordeaux to Paris, France<\/h2>\n

With a Luxury Gold journey to the South of France, your return to Paris from Bordeaux\u00a0will be speeding through the French countryside to Paris at 320 kmph on a high-speed train. The best part, apart from the views of the meadows and the occasional castle, is that you\u2019ll be in Paris in time for lunch \u2013\u00a0the train takes just 2 hours.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fl\u00e5m Railway Scenic Train, Norway<\/span><\/h2>\n

In 2014, Lonely Planet named the Fl\u00e5m Railway the best train journey in the world \u2013 and it\u2019s still certainly one of the most scenic train rides in Europe. Here you\u2019ll take a more vintage style of train through Norway, from high mountains in Myrdal station down to the very bottom of the Aurlandsfjord, decked out in a nostalgic wooden interior with the large passenger windows you\u2019d expect from a train that goes through the changing scenery of the Fl\u00e5m Valley. The train takes a five-minute stop at the Kjosfossen waterfall, where you can stretch your legs and see the cascade from the platforn. It\u2019s only around an hour\u2019s journey, but you\u2019ll be wishing it was longer \u2013 in which case you can hop back on the train and return to Myrdal.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cinque Terre, Manarola to Rapallo, Italy<\/span><\/h3>\n

Experience some of the most awe-inspiring coastal scenery on earth at the UNESCO-listed Cinque Terre when you journey with Luxury Gold. After exploring the charming fishing village of Manarola with your Local Expert, you\u2019ll travel by train to the historic and colorful resort town of Rapallo. Italy\u2019s most popular scenic rail trip may be short, but it sure is sweet! As the train hugs the coastline you feel as if you\u2019re floating across the water, from one picture-perfect village to another.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Brenner Railway, Munich, Germany to Venice, Italy<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Brenner Railway was the first to cross the Alps in the 1860s, so while there are more modern options out there, this is by far one of the most charming \u2013 and it has the added benefit of passing through three countries: Germany, Austria and Italy. Starting at Munich and ending in Venice, those two great cities set high standards for views and architecture. Over the course of around 6 and a half hours, enjoying the transition up to panoramic mountain views. The opportunity to stretch your legs at the Brenner Pass, the highest point of the trip at 1371m (4498ft), is one you won\u2019t forget.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nova Gorica to Jesenice, Slovenia<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Tread off the beaten path and onto the Bohinj Railway, which connects two Slovenian towns: Nova Gorica and Jesenice. As far as the term \u2018picture perfect\u2019 goes, this scenic train journey fits the bill, climbing the narrow Ba\u010da Valley, plunging into the four-mile Bohinj Tunnel and emerging in the spectacular Julian Alps. You\u2019ll slowly pass by the bright blue waters of the famous Lake Bled, eventually stopping where you can follow a footpath down through the woods to the lakeshore.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\"Lake<\/p>\n

Bergensbanen, Norway<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the less famous scenic train rides in Europe, Bergensbanen travels between Oslo and Bergen in around six and a half hours. In that time you\u2019ll see the fill spectrum of Norway\u2019s natural beauty, from canyons and mountains to rivers, fjords and waterfalls. If you\u2019re lucky, you might even spot Arctic foxes, snow owls or herds of reindeer out the window.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bergen\"\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Royal Scotsman, Scotland<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Jacobite Steam Train, Scotland<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Not just one of the most scenic train rides in Europe, but in the world, the Jacobite Steam Train is full of nostalgic charm.

The 84-mile round trip also passes Morar and the beaches used in the 1986 film <\/span>Highlander<\/span><\/i>. Harry Potter fans will recognize one of the most famous stops on this route, the 21-arched Glenfinnan viaduct, where the train may pause (time permitting) to allow you to take in the view. <\/span><\/p>\n
