My favourite journey is from the cote d’azur along the sea to Genoa. The view was great!

I'm lucky to have travelled on many train journeys in my life thus far. Amtrak coast to coast in the US; the Ghan from Darwin to Alice Springs in Australia; many train journeys throughout Europe; even all over India; however I'll stay local and say that the journey that I love the most is from Glasgow in Scotland, heading north through the Highlands to Mallaig, the gateway to the Outer Hebrides. Spectacular!

I'd love to go to Norway and do Oslo to Bergen!! Beautiful breathtaking scenery, fjords and mountains.

Rome to Lecce by night train with the family was memorable!

I once took an incredible train journey from Istanbul to Munich to reach the Oktoberfest, rolling through what was the former Yugoslavia en route. I saw some of the most breathtaking scenery I’ve witnessed anywhere, from mountain passes to pastoral prairies. It was stunning, like scenes from epic landscape paintings. I’d do it again.

3 years ago I took a train from Jesenice to Nova Gorica and I have never enjoyed a train journey more. The scenery combined with the classic rail cars brought me a day I will never forget.  The line ends just on the border with Italy making for a unique station location and a city with an interesting history.

Slow journey route is Fort William to Glasgow in Scotland. Superb countryside with far reaching views!

My next journey I would like to do is in Austria to see castles and mountains.

Sometimes you don’t need to travel all the way to the alps for some nice scenery. Many lines in western Germany such as Hagen-Siegen offers interesting scenery combined with industrial history.


A train trip through Semmering.

My favourite journey for the moment is Copenhagen  to Amsterdam where my soon is studying. I have just been there for the Flower festival 💐  and this summer I will take from Copenhagen to Berlin and then to Wien and after that to Prague and back til Copenhagen for holiday ☀️

My journey from the Netherlands to Morocco was an absolute highlight. We traveled through Paris, Barcelona, and Madrid, then took the ferry across to keep the adventure going.

Even though Morocco isn't part of Interrail, we used their local high-speed trains to visit Fes, Rabat, Marrakech, and Casablanca. There's honestly nothing like watching the landscape shift from Dutch polders to the Moroccan desert from a train window.

For me it has been Sevilla to Vilnius, I took very indirect route through the Alps and Balkans and then into Poland, what a dream trip. I specially remember with a lot of coziness Geneve to Innsbruck 


Oh boy this is a tough one. Whether it's a train in Middle rhein valley in Germany, Saxon Switzerland with lovely Bastei bridge, or the routes in Black Forest, everything is so nice. But a route that I can't forget is taking a train from Helsinki to Rovanoemi in Winters. Absolutely breathtaking views of snow. And another outside of Europe would be the Konkan railways in India. I would also love to experience Alps of Switzerland in the near future, and Norwegian landscape.


I've travelled this line three times now and it has been perfect throughout the seasons (summer, spring and winter): the routes through Romania. Quiet trains (in the off season at least), perfect views, nice atmosphere, a true holiday experience :)

That’s a very difficult question! I’m from Switzerland and I may be bias so I’ll comment with the next train journey I’m hoping to do with my family. 
Recently the north has been calling us and after reading a kids book about a train adventure up to the Arctic circle we’d love to make our way to Stockholm and from there get the Arctic Express to Narvik in Norway, ideally around Christmas to add some extra magic ✨


It's a hard choice, but for my favourite slow travel route, I will pick one of the slowest trains I took for long distance travel: the night train from Varna to Sofia. It was very cozy despite, or because of all the noise. Old trains are the best! I slept only briefly, but like a baby.

My favourite route is through the Centovalli from Domodossola crossing the Rhone valley to Kandersteg

My favorite journey has been from Amsterdam to Berlin. Mostly because it was the start of a month long trip through Europe with friends, thoughts of the first train really bring back the exitement of it all!

A train journey to heaven. Breathtaking landscapes, crystal-clear lakes, imposing snow-capped mountains, and endless grasslands populated by yaks and wild horses. To the roof of the world, with the city of the gods, Lhasa, as the final destination. The Himalaya Express or Sky Train, from Qinghai to Tibet, is my favorite train journey.

Meine erste Radreise nach Frankreich war toll. Schön im gemütlichen Schlafwagen mit Frühstück sogar.

Italy I like best for slow travelling. For example the Amalficoast and Puglia. Italians know how to dolce far niente. That relaxed way of living I would like to learn. Trains help me also to be relaxed while I pass slowly through beautiful landscapes. Please I hope I win an Interrailpass.🤞🍀

Favourite journeys include Toulouse to Montpellier, through the fields of sunflowers and then along the south coast of France, and Munich to Vienna, through the Austrian alps. I would love to travel through Norway by train, from Oslo to Bergen or Tromsø. 


My favourite would have to be the night train from Oslo to Bodø during the summertime: travelling the length of Norway without it getting dark at night is stunning.

Last summer, connecting France to Turkey by train via Romania and returning by ferry through Greece and Italy was a magnificent journey. I hope to make a new one, maybe visit the United Kingdom or the Scandinavian countries !
I love "slow" travel so much, the trip is so important, you see and feel a lot more things !
