From Scotland to Venice: These are some of Europe’s most scenic train journeys

 🌎 From the famous Venice Simplon-Orient-Express to Scotland’s Kyle Line, these picturesque rail journeys allow travellers to enjoy the best of Europe at a leisurely pace.




Europe has some of the best scenery and landscapes in the world, from dramatic mountains, rolling meadows, lush forests and golden beaches. 


And train journeys are one of the best ways to discover what the continent has to offer. But how do you choose which rail journey is best for you, when there are so many on offer? 


Euronews Travel rounds up some of the most beautiful train journeys in Europe to choose from on your next trip. 


Venice Simplon-Orient-Express

The Venice Simplon-Orient is one of Europe’s most classic and beautiful rail journeys. 


The train offers many routes, with the most popular one being Paris to Venice which takes two days, with one night spent on board. 


Another route takes passengers from London to Venice. Travellers embark on a short journey from London to Folkestone on the Belmond British Pullman train, before then connecting to the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express for the overnight trip to Venice. 


With historic, restored cabins from the 1920s and 1930s featuring unique Art Deco details, passengers can travel in luxury and style. Services include personal stewards for every carriage, gourmet dining with menus prepared by French chefs, private breakfasts and live music with cocktails. 


On the London to Venice route, travellers pass through other iconic cities like Florence and Paris along the way, with panoramic views of the Italian Dolomites and Alps. For the ultimate taste of luxury, choose the Grand Suites, which offer exclusive facilities such as private marbled bathrooms and endless champagne.
