Experiences

Cross the Alps by Bernina Express

The Bernina Express rolls along Europe’s

highest, steepest railway – including the

UNESCO-listed Albula-Bernina stretch –

offering unmatched views of the Alps.

Panoramic windows frame ever-changing

vistas of plunging gorges, ice-capped

mountains and spectacular viaducts.

Ride the Rome-to-Sicily sleeper

Go to sleep in one city, wake up in another.

Italy’s sleeper trains allow you to combine

intercity travel with a comfortable overnight

stay. They can even take you all the way

from the ‘Eternal City’ of Rome to the island

of Sicily via a train ferry – an unusual and

unforgettable experience.

Take Bosnia–Herzegovina’s most

scenic route

The 129-kilometre rail journey from Sarajevo to

Mostar is one of Europe’s most scenic. Board

a modern Talgo train, with the option to travel

in First Class, then spend the next 2.5 hours

admiring views of forested mountains, glassy

lakes, and tucked-away villages.

Al Andalus luxury train, Spain

Glamorous 1920s interiors combine with 21stcentury

luxuries aboard Al Andalus. This is the

longest train on Spanish tracks, equalling the

length of a 150-storey skyscraper. Its vintage

carriages once accommodated British royalty

on a jaunt across France, while today they roll

along the sun-soaked south of Spain.

Passengers stay in en-suite, air-conditioned

cabins replete with period detail. The two

onboard restaurants serve Andalucían cuisine

expertly paired with sherries, liqueurs and

teas; while four lounges provide relaxed social

spaces for salon games, drinks and night-time

entertainment. Al Andalus offers a week-long

rail odyssey visiting Seville, Cordoba, Cadiz,

Ronda and Granada.
