Europe is home to stunning landscapes and there’s one incredible train journey that will take you through some of its best views. This journey is perfect for a winter trip if you’re looking for somewhere to visit in the new year.
Either side of the journey, there’re two exciting destinations which are both worth visiting. As you ride this train, you’ll be able to watch snow-tipped mountains fade into the distance. The journey from Trondheim to Bodø in Norway takes 10 hours, and you’ll travel 452 miles through the country.
Tickets start at just £18 and if you’re planning on taking a longer European trip, you can use the Interrail pass, which includes more than 30 stations.
The Nordlandsbanen Railway is the longest in Norway and the only one in the country to cross the Arctic Circle.
Trondheim is the third largest city in Norway and it has a huge range of things to see and do. The city has a rich history, a vibrant culture, and incredible sites of natural beauty.
You can visit the Nidaros Cathedral and climb its tower to enjoy the city’s best views.
One visitor on Tripadvisor said: “A visit to Trondheim isn’t complete without a stop at Nidorasdomen.
“Aside from its impressive status as the most northern medieval cathedral in the world it is an impressive building from every angle and its size means it dominates the cityscape.”
When you reach Bodø, there are also many places to see – the city has been called one of the most underrated in Norway. The city is mostly known for being a waypoint to the Lofoten Islands.
One of its most notable places to visit if you want to step back in time is the Kjerringøy Trading Post.
Here, you can get an insight into the area’s history while visiting an off-the-beaten-track location.
For a unique holiday, you shouldn’t miss out on this opportunity to take in the scenery from the comfort of a train.
