Spring Escorted Rail Holidays

As spring arrives and the days get longer, Europe awakes from the slumber of winter, celebrating the new season with colourful carnivals and festivals. More than just the period between the winter season and the arrival of summer, spring in Europe has its own identity and is when some of Europe's great destinations are at their very best.

Travelling by train means the journey is part of your spring holiday. Spring sees the winter's snow melt and the landscape rejuvenated, with vibrant colours bursting through the lush green meadows. From the comfort of the train, you travel through the heart of the landscape, marvelling at sights inaccessible by any other means of transport through the panoramic windows of Europe's terrific trains.

Travel with Great Rail Journeys and celebrate spring in style on a spring holiday by rail.

“Amazing quality & quantity of sights fitted in, very good guide manager ‘Charles’, excellent 4* hotels. Only real down was a port wine trip to ‘Taylor’s’ the guide here was useless- a video & TV would have better & NO wine tasting, hence no sales!

Mr Noble
5 stars
“The hotels and travelling logistics was excellent and well planned. Communication prior to the holiday was good. The cities we visited and day excursions were well organised. Our tour guide was excellent always at hand to answer questions of iron out little snags. If any negative the organised evening meals were of poor quality, but overall it was a five star holiday.

“We had our best holiday with you and have done this holiday twice. The hotel Albadraba is wonderfully situated, the food and staff exceptional. We can’t understand why you have dropped this hotel for next year. It was bad timing to do this while we were staying there. Very short-sighted of you.
