The somewhat inconspicuous rail route between Innsbruck and Munich, via Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Mittenwald, offers a number of scenic surprises. It is operated by Deutsche Bahn and the Austrian Federal Railways and includes a stop on the Mittenwald Railway, but because it is not the fastest route between the two cities, it is overlooked by many.

\norte

Online maps and automated route finders will tend to push you towards the faster but less interesting InterCity line between the two cities. But the most memorable trip goes through Seefeld and it is called "Over the Top". On a clear day, it offers views of the Zugspitz, Germany's highest mountain, and the rest of the route offers remarkable alpine views. Getting to the Innsbruck valley is really something, especially in the winter months when thick layers of snow cover the track and mountains.

\norte

And because the route isn't a branded scenic line, it costs a fraction of the other, better-marketed attractions, and you'll leave with a sense of satisfaction.

The steep slopes and colorful seaside towns of the Cinque Terre are among the most popular tourist attractions in Italy. Many flock there simply to soak up the sun on one of the iconic beaches or hike the rugged cliffs, but the area also offers an amazing train ride to include in your itinerary.

\norte

The Cinque Terre train operated byTrenItalia, runs between La Spezia and Levanto, stopping at various points along the way. It is not a long journey; if you take the train from start to finish it will only take 30 minutes. But most choose to stop at iconic towns along the way and meander along the cliffs. And thanks to the panoramic view of the sea and the coastal atmosphere, this is a truly unique European rail experience.

SwissGoldenPass juntosconnects Lucerne with Montreux, on the shores of Lake Geneva. In just five hours, it offers a condensed package of Swiss highlights, complete with stunning views of picturesque villages, vast mountains, fertile valleys, and pristine rivers and lakes.

\norte

The trains are sleek and ultra-modern, but if you upgrade to the GoldenPass Classic carriages halfway, you can experience what it was like to travel during the golden age of rail travel. Running from Zweisimmen to Montreux, these retro trains feature gold-plated luggage racks, wood trim, carpeted aisles, comfortable armchair seats, and waiters who take your food or drink order at your seat.

\norte

Many take the trip from start to finish simply to explore the scenic beauty along the way. But most break their journey en route to Lake Geneva with a stop in the popular resort town of Interlaken, boasting spectacular lake and alpine views and all the amenities of a major resort town. Or they hop on another train and head up the valley to the achingly picturesque town of Lauterbrunnen, just 20 minutes from Interlaken.

While in St. Moritz, you could also hop aboard the Glacier Express' biggest rival,Bernina Express. Starting technically in Chur, Switzerland's oldest city, but connecting several small towns along the way, the route traverses the Alps, sometimes improbably, and reaches Italy.

\norte

Though shorter than its icy competitor, this line is no less dramatic. At the highest point, you'll cross the Bernina mountain pass and traverse three pristine lakes and a large glacier before plunging towards Tirano on a brilliant set of tracks.

\norte

UNESCO recognizes this railway line for linking two historic railways and several isolated mountain villages once separated by the massive Alps. To achieve this, engineers built dozens of tunnels and viaducts into precarious mountain passes, and as such, for many passengers, the journey isn't really about the scenery. Two structures in particular will get techies out of their seats: the 213-foot Landwasser Viaduct and the circular Brusio loop viaduct.

\norte

The Bernina Express ends in Tirano, but if you want to return to Swiss soil, there are official Bernina buses that run around Lake Como and take you back to another Swiss paradise in Lugano.

Heexpress glacierit is perhaps the most iconic scenic train ride in Switzerland, if not the world. Over the course of eight hours, it cuts a line through the Alps between two of the country's most exclusive destinations: the car-free ski resort of Zermatt, famous for its jagged Matterhorn, and the refined and elegant town of St. Moritz by the lake.

Despite its name, the ride is anything but fast. Instead, the Glacier Express moves at a leisurely pace that allows you to take it all in. So many hours on a train may seem like too much, but given the extraordinary scenery you'll see through the large windows along the way, you'll hardly complain.

\norte

In winter, the train ride lives up to its name, offering views of an icy Swiss wonderland dotted with cross-country skiers, icy rivers and thick white snow several meters deep. In summer, the snow melts to reveal lush green fields, rolling trails and rushing rivers, with the highest peaks still shrouded in white.

\norte

Glacier Express trains are the epitome of modern; they offer sit-down service, first-class flatware, meticulous climate control, and the requisite picture windows that let you crane your neck to see the peaks of the Alps. All of this comes at a price, especially if you leave after first class, but for many, this trip ranks at the top of best travel lists.

There are several efficient ways to travel between Zurich and Lugano, and the newly renamedSan Gotthard Panorama Expressis not one of them. This is because this train, formerly called the Wilhelm Tell Express, does everything in its power to show the best of the Swiss landscape between these two cities, even at the expense of speed.

\norte

The route not only takes you across 205 bridges, through seven circular tunnels and into the depths of the Alps via the 15-kilometre Gotthard Tunnel, at the time of construction the longest in the world, but which also allows you to exit the train and complete part of your journey via a historic steamship.

\norte

The landscape is constantly changing, and if you travel from north to south, you arrive from beautiful alpine surroundings to almost cozy lakeside villages with palm trees and stone houses in the southern part of the country.

Unlike the famous and carefully marked train journeys of western and central Europe, the line connecting Montenegro's Bar and Serbia's Belgrade doesn't have a carefully thought-out name, flashy website, or series of catchy hashtags following it. .

The line goes back to Josip Tito, the first president of Yugoslavia. She opened it in 1976 to run his blue train, which ferried him and several celebrity guests across the Balkans in style. Though the luxury train now languishes in a shed on the outskirts of the Serbian capital, a collection of dilapidated carriages continue on the path it set, winding through hundreds of exciting tunnels and bridges, including the Mala Rijeka Viaduct, the most top of Europe.
