Go ahead then, and take the train. Choose the scenic route over the quick one and make getting to your destination part of the vacation. Relax, take in the stunning sights and explore parts of the world you have never seen before.

All of these make for an unforgettable adventure as you crawl across countries and even an entire continent, especially when you consider that many train lines have different themed-shows onboard to keep people of all ages equally entertained.
