 The Bernina Express

The Bernina Express is Europe's most scenic rail trip and runs from Chur in Switzerland to Tirano in Italy. Its selling point is its panoramic windows which gives passengers the best views of the Swiss Alps, Glaciers, and Lakes. This is a 4 hour, 90 mile journey and the most famous sights on this route are the Brusio Spiral (pictured above) and the Landwasser Viaduct (see picture below). Either side of the trip you can visit Milan (Italy) and Zurich (Switzerland) which are the closest metropolises.

This trip is best taken with your girlfriend or wife sans kids. In later instalments, I will tell you about the trips for the guys, trips for the girls and trips for the family.
