The Orient Express
See more Trains. See best of Venice in Italy.

Embodying the ideal of rail travel, The Orient Express cannot help but plunge you into the romantic, adventurous world of Agatha Christie, with 1920s art deco throughout its instantly recognizable blue and gold carriages.
This is to say nothing of the routes themselves, which date back to the 1800s and make a dot-to-dot of Europe's greatest and most inspiring cities, before heading out towards the mysterious wildernesses of Eastern Europe.
Smaller stops such as Sinaia in Romania provide a touch of the unfamiliar, a whiff of exoticism. The trips can be up to a week long, and the choice of route tortuous, treating the passenger to some of Europe's most important cultural treasures. Official Website of the Venice Simplon Orient- Express
