It's where the 'flight shame' movement was born and no wonder -- Europe is home to a superb rail network, including some truly spectacular journeys which are a vacation in themselves. Here are 10 of the most beautiful rides 👇
Built in 1909, the Bergen railway connects Norway's capital with its second city. This is no ordinary commuter train, though -- it's a spectacular seven-hour ride across the mountain plateaus of Norway, past lakes, hikable mountains, and a village only accessible via train: Finse, at the highest point of the railway.
For most of the trip, starting out from Nice Riquier station, you'll have beautiful views, clonking past Art Deco villas, and alternating between snatches of the Med between the trees, and rattling along entire bays, with towns stacked up the cliffsides. You'll pass through some of the most fabled towns on the Cote d'Azur, like Èze and lemon-filled Menton, as well as getting prime views of Monte-Carlo.
