22 Discover Europe Embark on the ultimate European experience Europe is an enchanting continent of epic proportions with a contrasting range of landscapes, languages, climates, cultures and cuisines. Discover countries, cities, towns and villages that are rich in history, iconic wonders and hidden treasures. GRAND CITIES You'll love being within easy reach of some of the world's most historic and beautiful cities. Wander around medieval cobbled streets, marvel at spires and turrets and be awestruck by wondrous, celestial architecture that has stood the test of time. ALPINE WONDERS Dominated by the iconic Matterhorn, the Alps are Europe's largest mountain system. Incredible feats of engineering, including tunnels and carved valleys have enabled some of the world's most picturesque railways, including Switzerland's famous Glacier Express. HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS In the Scottish Highlands you will be overawed by the amphitheatre of steely lochs and enchanting glens as you journey along the West Highland Line. Across the Irish Sea traverse the lush, rolling hills of the Emerald Isle in first class comfort. NORTHERN EXPOSURE Travel north to the land of the Midnight Sun and ride railways that are among the highest and steepest in the world. Explore Norway's Lofoten Islands, take the Arctic Circle Express and even see the Northern Lights in Lapland. The heavenly Norwegian fjords combine with Sweden's tranquil landscapes to create a Scandinavian smorgasbord of visual delights. RENAISSANCE ROMANCE From the super-smooth, high-tech inter-city fast trains, to the winding Circumetnea train at the base of Mt Etna, and the unique train that travels by ferry to Sicily, it's easy to discover the very essence of Italy by rail. Visit stylish Milan, eternal Rome, Renaissance Florence and romantic Venice. Heading further south, you have spectacular Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast's soaring cliffs and colourful, windswept villages. A TASTE OF EUROPE Exploring Europe's enchanting cities, towns and villages, you'll soon discover why this continent and fine cuisine go hand in hand. You'll begin each morning with a hearty breakfast, while a number of tantalising lunches and dinners are also included. And on select trips, you'll enjoy a special meal in the restaurant car on board your train.
