Vienna, once a frontier outpost of the Roman Empire with a rich and glorious history befitting its nickname of The Imperial City, is a fitting launching pad for this epic springtime European adventure. Travelling via Styria into Slovenia, where we’ll explore the stunning scenery of Lake Bled and beyond, we’ll greet Italy from the north and take time to indulge in Tuscany’s great cities, scenery and centres of culture before wending our way south. Stories of the Renaissance, and other engrossing tales and characters are connected to the sites you visit all the way into Rome. An extended stay in the Eternal City provides a base for all manner of explorations and side trips to ancient, monumental and modern Rome and of course the endless wonders of St Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican museums.

Railway Adventures and the Continental Classic Express Train de Luxe have come together to bring you one of our greatest adventures yet. The great Rail Renaissance of the 21st century has embraced the previously neglected and battered Balkans countries and is beckoning us to be part of it, exploring lines that have recently been re-opened and upgraded.

Rescued from derelict rolling stock and meticulously restored, the Continental Classic Express Train de Luxe has been lovingly fitted out to create a classy and comfortable space for rail cruising in real style complete with our own Chef on board and a fully stocked bar.

Switzerland’s vertical landscape has long attracted romantics and travellers. The railway revolution of the nineteenth century saw little trains daring to ascend the highest peaks by ingenious and inventive methods of engineering, making some of Europe’s most spectacular scenery accessible to all. Train travel is central to Swiss life, and its rail network is one of the most efficient, and easily the most patronised network per head of population in the world. This finely tuned adventure, led by your experienced Switzerland expert Your tour leader, will take you through the heart of the Alps to explore a wonderful mix of the country’s key historical, cultural, and scenic destinations.
