Here is the slowest train in Europe

The slowest train in Europe is located in Switzerland. Glacier Express moves at an average speed of 36 kilometers per hour. It crosses 291 bridges and passes through 91 tunnels and the objective of the trip is to enjoy the unique panoramas of nature.

Traveling by train is a big trend in recent years. For many travelers, it is not just a means of transportation, a way to get from point A to point B, but an experience that often remains the most beautiful part of the trip. The numerous panoramic railway routes lead through incredible landscapes, untouched nature, offer unforgettable views, bring a touch of romance and adventure to the journey itself. But have you ever wondered what is the slowest train in Europe?

Glacier Express in Switzerland is proud of this nickname. Its average speed is 36 kilometers per hour. The self-proclaimed "world's slowest express train" connects the popular Swiss destinations of Zermatt and Sant Moritz. Like many Swiss trains, the 'Glacier Express' runs smoothly despite its rocky mountain road. It crosses 291 bridges and passes through 91 tunnels. Finally, it climbs to the Oberalp pass, located at 2,044 meters above sea level – all year round, even when there is snow. This railway is said by many to be an engineering marvel and the interior of the train is equally impressive where passengers can feast on a menu offering snacks, fine wine and afternoon tea.

One of the start/end points of the Glacier Express, Santt. Moritz is a real paradise for all those who practice winter sports – the city hosted the Winter Olympics twice. For many travelers, the city of Hur is an excellent starting point. It is often called the oldest city in Switzerland, with archaeological sites dating back thousands of years. The unusual car-free old town is well-preserved and a great place to stroll. Here you will find the largest concentration of restaurants and bars in the country and the largest shopping center between Zurich and Milan.

Zermatt, the Glacier Express's other main start/finish point, is highly ranked among the top Swiss resorts. In addition to excellent skiing, hiking and climbing, here you can also see the Matterhorn - a mythical mountain that is the desire of every true mountaineer. The peculiarity of this town is that cars are prohibited here and due to its proximity to Italy, Zermatt has a pronounced cosmopolitan spirit.

From beautiful wooden houses, charming cafes to luxury shops – this hidden paradise nestled deep in the heart of the Swiss Alps will delight you and keep you coming back at different times of the year.
