Discover two overnight train journeys: from Bucharest to Moldova and from Turkey to Georgia aboard the iconic Doğu Ekspresi. Plus, explore an extensive list of must-try European night trains.
I totally agree train travel is the best way to see a country and keep moving. It lets you explore the spaces between the cities. The carriages themselves almost become microcosms. Most of my experiences on long distance trains has been in Asia and the Balkans. Your writing has reinvigorated my dream of Central Asia and the Caucasus. Thank you for including the logistical details - gotta love Seat 61.
This is such a helpful post! I really want to do more night trains, but it’s hard trying to find information even on what routes exist. I am bookmarking this to keep handy whenever I’m in planning mode.
