Our Top Train Picks
From iconic routes through the Swiss Alps to scenic rides across the American Rockies, these are my favorite train journeys — each offering panoramic views, refined comfort, and memorable experiences along the way. Picture glass-domed coaches, chef-prepared meals, and the thrill of watching landscapes transform right outside your window.
It’s not only about the iconic multi-day journeys — day trips can be just as memorable. Think of the Napa Valley Wine Train rolling through vineyards over a leisurely lunch, or themed rides where good food and beautiful views go hand in hand. Whether it’s an extended adventure or a shorter escape, these journeys capture the magic of travel in motion.
