It might not be the most efficient way to travel in Canada, but is there anything quite as romantic as a scenic train ride?
Winding through valleys of fall colours, looking out at enormous mountains with snow-topped peaks, hugging the coastline of the ocean, and rolling through flat stretches of grassland — that’s Canada by train for you.
Endless views, all uniquely beautiful, and you can sit back and daydream while gazing out the window. Canada is a massive province, and most Canadian bucket lists are miles long, because there’s just that much to see.
Luckily, there are train rides that can take you through some of the most scenic parts of the country so you can tick some destinations off your list. The best part is that you don’t have to drive. You can just sit back and enjoy the ride — no navigation, gas station stops or traffic jams to interrupt your trip.
Whether it’s a four-hour train ride through idyllic northern Ontario or a week-long adventure across the country, there’s no shortage of beautiful journeys. Get ready to climb aboard and enjoy the view, because these train rides will have you booking a window seat in no time.
