Europe is home to some of the most scenic train journeys in the world, where the journey itself becomes a highlight of your vacation.

From the Swiss Alps to Norway’s fjords and Italy’s dramatic coastline, these iconic rail routes showcase Europe’s most breathtaking landscapes—best experienced from the comfort of a train.

Here are seven of the best scenic train rides in Europe with Railbookers to add to your rail vacation:

1. Glacier Express, Switzerland

One of the most famous scenic trains in the world, the Glacier Express travels between Zermatt and St. Moritz through the heart of the Swiss Alps.

Expect panoramic views of snow-covered peaks, deep gorges, and alpine villages as you cross hundreds of bridges and mountain passes. This is classic Swiss rail travel at its finest.

2. West Highland Line, Scotland

The West Highland Line offers one of the most atmospheric journeys in Europe, running from Glasgow to Fort William and Mallaig.

Pass remote lochs, rugged mountains, and sweeping moorlands, including the iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct, for a truly wild and cinematic experience.

3. Bernina Express, Switzerland to Italy

The Bernina Express is one of Europe’s most dramatic cross-border rail journeys, connecting Switzerland to northern Italy.

Travel past glaciers, mountain lakes, and the famous Landwasser Viaduct before descending into sun-drenched valleys offering incredible contrast in just a few hours.

4. Flåmsbana Railway, Norway

The Flåm Railway is one of the steepest standard-gauge railways in the world and one of Norway’s top travel experiences.

In under an hour, descend from mountain landscapes to a fjord-side village, passing waterfalls, cliffs, and deep valleys along the way.

5. GoldenPass Line, Switzerland

The GoldenPass Line connects Lucerne to Lake Geneva, offering a diverse journey through lakes, vineyards, and alpine scenery.

This route is perfect for travellers wanting a varied and immersive Swiss rail experience, with constantly changing views.

6. Rhine Valley Line, Germany

The Rhine Valley Line between Koblenz and Bingen follows one of Europe’s most scenic river routes.

Expect castles perched above vineyards, charming medieval towns, and UNESCO-listed landscapes, making it one of the most romantic train journeys in Europe.

7. Cinque Terre Coastal Line, Italy

The Cinque Terre coastal train connects five colourful villages along Italy’s Ligurian coastline.

As the train winds through tunnels and along cliffs above the Mediterranean, it reveals stunning sea views and postcard-perfect scenery at every turn.

When the Journey Becomes the Destination

From alpine passes to coastal cliffs and river valleys, these scenic rail routes prove that getting there can be just as memorable as where you’re going.

A European rail vacation isn’t just about the destinations—it’s about the journey in between.

5 Spectacular Annual Flower Shows Worth Planning a Trip Around

lynn.elmhirst@gmail.com (Lynn) — Tue, 14 Apr 26 13:03:55 +0000

It’s spring at last, and our thoughts turn to the outdoors and our gardens. What better inspiration for a trip than some of the most breathtaking flower shows on earth - that take nature’s horticultural gifts and maximalize the colors, the spectacle and the drama!

1. Keukenhof Gardens — Netherlands

Keukenhof’s claim to fame is scale and control. More than seven million bulbs are planted by hand each year in layered sequences—early, mid, and late bloomers—so the park continuously evolves across its eight-week season each March and April.

WATCH VIDEO ABOVE: Our Tulip Time River Cruise on the Emerald Sky in the Netherlands

It’s also known for its indoor pavilions, where Dutch growers stage rotating displays of orchids, lilies, and cut flowers at exhibition quality—essentially a showcase of the country’s global flower industry. Add the classic windmill overlooking surrounding tulip fields, and you get both the postcard and the production line behind it.

Why go: The world’s largest spring flower garden, paired with a living showroom of Dutch floriculture.

2. Chelsea Flower Show — London, UK

The Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show is a highlight of Britain’s royal, society, and gardening calendar. Only 5 days long, usually in the third week of May, it draws the who’s who of the Royal Family, celebrities, and flower lovers from around the world.

Defined by its Show Gardens—full-scale, meticulously judged landscapes installed from scratch and dismantled days later, the Chelsea Flower Show is horticultural theater – and big business. Winning “Best in Show” can launch a designer globally. Inside the Great Pavilion, growers compete for medals with near-perfect specimens, and the “Plant of the Year” regularly introduces varieties that go on to dominate garden centres worldwide.

Simultaneously, Chelsea in Bloom transforms the streets of London’s Chelsea—especially Sloane Square and King’s Road—into a free, whimsical open-air floral art trail created by local boutiques, hotels, and restaurants.

Why go: To see the exact gardens, plants, and ideas that will shape how the world gardens next.

3. Floriade Canberra — Canberra, Australia

Spring Down Under is in September and October, and that’s when Aussie gardens shine. Floriade is known for its mass plantings arranged in bold, almost graphic patterns—entire beds of tulips and annuals laid out like landscape-scale design pieces around Lake Burley Griffin.

Each year follows a theme, and the planting schemes are executed with striking precision, more akin to outdoor installation art than traditional bedding displays. Its signature NightFest adds a second layer, with light projections and illuminated sculptures transforming the gardens after dark.

Why go: Monumental tulip displays by day—and a fully reimagined, light-driven experience at night.

4. Chiang Mai Flower Festival — Chiang Mai, Thailand

This northern Thailand festival, held for three short days in early February, is best known for its elaborate flower-float parade, where entire scenes—temples, animals, mythological figures—are constructed from orchids, marigolds, and chrysanthemums.

Chiang Mai is also a centre of orchid cultivation, and the displays highlight rare varieties alongside fields of locally grown damask roses used in regional perfumes and oils. Much of the action centres on Suan Buak Haad Park, where competitive displays and precision planting showcase the region’s horticultural expertise.

Why go: Intricately constructed floral floats and a rare window into Thailand’s orchid and rose-growing traditions.

5. Genzano Infiorata — Genzano, Italy

Genzano’s Infiorata, held over a weekend in mid-June, is defined by precision petal mosaics. Artists use thousands of hand-placed petals—sorted by colour and texture—to create highly detailed images that resemble paintings more than floral displays. The carpets run down a steep street in the historic centre, creating a dramatic, gallery-like perspective.

By Sunday afternoon, a traditional procession deliberately walks across the designs, dismantling them in minutes and highlighting the ephemeral nature of flowers and the natural world.

Why go: Hyper-detailed floral “paintings” you can walk through—before they’re intentionally erased.

Ancestry Travel Tips

lynn.elmhirst@gmail.com (Lynn) — Tue, 14 Apr 26 13:03:55 +0000

Do you travel for the food? Festivals? Or maybe family? Over a quarter of travelers these days are interested in heritage or ancestry-based trips. The surge in DNA testing has been accompanied by a corresponding rise in the popularity of genealogy-focused trips.

People are putting their traveling ‘genes’ on. And not going sightseeing, but searching for their roots. Motivations vary from family heritage to the story of migration from their ancestral homes.

Do any of these ideas strike a chord in you and beckon you to your ancestors’ distant shores?

Learning: discovering your original identity
Connection: walking where your ancestors lived and left
Closure: if your family didn’t choose their displacement or migration
Curiosity: sparked by DNA surprises or family lore
Legacy: sharing “where we come from” with the next generation

Ancestry Travel Hotspots

Do these destinations call you home? Here are some of the more popular destinations for North Americans to trace their roots.

Ireland and Scotland, the emotional epicenter for those with Celtic roots
Italy (especially Sicily and southern regions) draws diaspora descendants in droves
Germany and Eastern Europe are seeing new interest as archives become more accessible
Nordic countries like Sweden and Norway are booming with ancestral travelers, thanks to strong genealogical records
West Africa — particularly Ghana — has become a powerful destination for many with African heritage, due to its connection to the transatlantic slave trade

How to do Ancestry Travel?

Family heritage travel is genealogy, part emotional archaeology. But how much information do you need to ‘start digging?’

Some travelers arrive armed with binders of family trees and DNA results. Others simply know that “Grandpa was from somewhere near Kraków.”

Ancestry travel gives all the questions new meaning: Who? Where? When? Why? How?

Here are tips to get the most from ancestry travel:

Do the Homework (But be Realistic)

Before you book a ticket, spend time with records — immigration documents, ship manifests, census forms, church registries. Sites like FamilySearch are invaluable, and many towns will respond to polite archive requests.

But remember: villages change. Borders shift. Records disappear.

Go looking for discovery — and be open to whatever you find, or don’t find.

Bring in a Local Expert

If you’re zeroing in on a specific town, hire a local genealogist or guide. They know which municipal office holds the birth records and who still remembers the families who left.

In small places, people — not paperwork — may be your best resource.

Balance Roots With Real Travel

Don’t turn your trip into a full-time research project.

Yes, visit the ancestral village. But also experience the destination. If your roots are in southern Italy, explore Puglia. If they trace to Portugal, spend time in Porto to understand the country's rhythm. Today’s lifestyle is as valuable a lesson in your heritage as your history.

Strike up Conversations

Walk into bakeries. Visit parish offices. Ask about your surname.

Bring documents. Smile. Be curious. And friendly.

A shared name can open doors you didn’t even know existed.

Manage Your Expectations

Sometimes you’ll find long-lost cousins. Sometimes you’ll find a locked archive and a shrug.

No matter what you discover, if you travel with an open mind and open heart, you’ll always come away richer than when you left.

Top Group Destinations

matthew@travelagencytribes.com (Matthew Mcfarlane) — Mon, 13 Apr 26 16:47:13 +0000

Sharing an experience with people we care about (or at the very least enjoy the company of) is the core of any group getaway. Be it relishing a meal together, catching sight of the amazing or just relaxing on a beach within earshot of friendly conversation, we find it immensely pleasurable to enjoy adventures with others. Part of that enjoyment derives from the fact that we all agree upon a lovely destination, a locale we all find to be delightful and plain awesome. So, how do you decide on which destinations fits your group best? Here’s a short list to give you some ideas.

8. Walt Disney World Resort, Orlando, Florida

Known as the happiest place on Earth, Disney World offers families, couples and, of course, groups wonderful attractions; from the iconic rides that has made Disney Theme Parks famous to the relaxing bars at the Stormalong Bay resort. Some parents have even returned to Walt Disney World without the kids after realizing there are many adult oriented distractions at this house of mouse!

7. Montego Bay, Jamaica

White sands, blue green oceans and a cooling breeze under a warm sun, Montego Bay represents the ideal beach getaway for most people. Whether it’s enjoying the luxuries of a resort or sneaking away with your cohorts to experience some of the local faire, this experience is best served with a touch of rum and a barrel of laughs shared with friends.

6. Napa Valley, California

The heart of wine country and some of the most gorgeous vistas on the West Coast, Napa Valley can offer any group a full itinerary and still leave travelers thirsty for more. Sample what California’s wine country has to offer in vineyard tours, lovely restaurants and local shops.

5. Tuscany, Italy

From the picturesque countryside to the cool twilight under the umber sky of a Tuscan sunset, Tuscany will leave you slack jawed and speechless as you and your friends enjoy what this village has to offer. Once the getaway for Princes and Princesses, it is truly an experience that can only be taken in by more than one traveler.

4. London, UK

Once called the Jewel of The Empire in the days of British reign, London is a fitting capital for such a thriving nation. Though the days of Britannia ruling the waves and shores of dozens of nations are long gone, London still has much to offer your group as the gateway to the continent.

3. Las Vegas, Nevada

America’s Playground; Las Vegas has plenty to offer groups and your friends. From the bright sheen of Hotel-Casinos like The Aria or The Wynn to the glitzy shows performed on the main stage of the MGM Grand, you and your friends can revel in the sights and sounds of this American desert oasis.

2. Phuket, Thailand

The gorgeous city of Phuket in the Asian coastal country of Thailand was once mistaken for Shangri-La by Western explorers and for good reason. With breath taking vistas and luxurious attractions some members of your group may not want to come home.

1. New York City, New York

The town so nice they named it twice. This city’s brief yet colorful history has inspired writers, musicians and filmmakers since the completion of the Brooklyn Bridge. You can easily lose yourself in the din of America’s most populated and culturally rich city and some of you may not want to find your back.

These are just a few ideas for great destinations you and your group can enjoy. The rest is up to you. Choose one from this list or find a destination of your own, but remember, it’s always better together.
