The Rocky Mountaineer
If you want to sit back and enjoy the landscape rolling past you, or enjoy romance, adventure and history, nothing beats a great train journey. Here are our favorite train lines around the world.

Take in the splendor of the towering Canadian Rockies with the Rocky Mountaineer train, which operates four routes between Vancouver in British Columbia and Calgary or Jasper in Alberta. The Rocky Mountaineer’s trips are generally two-day treks and run only during daytime, so you don’t have to miss a moment’s worth of scenery to nighttime darkness. Along the way, you’ll see canyons, waterfalls, temperate rain forests and ice fields, all part of routes that are more than a century old.
