Traveling by train is one of the simplest ways to get around, and it can also be the most photogenic. These 12 routes from around the world are so visually striking you’ll be glued to your railroad car’s window for the entire trip.
This graphic from Pettitt’s travel agency offers a glimpse of what you’ll see on each of the 12 rail journeys. There’s Scotland’s Jacobite steam train used as the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films. The Trans-Siberian Railway runs over 5,752 miles from Russia, through Mongolia, to the Eastern edges of China. And, of course, Japan’s Tokaido Shinkansen bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto, which I can attest to being pretty spectacular. The graphic shares a description of each trip, the distance traveled, the cost per ride, and the meals that each train offers, if any. Check it out below.
