Sitting back and watching an ever changing-landscape through the window is one of the things which makes a good train journey so magical. And - as they say - it’s about the journey, not just the destination.
Across Europe there are some incredible railway journeys you can take, but you don’t have to travel far to enjoy one of these amazing experiences. According to Lonely Planet, one of the best rail experiences in Europe is right here in the UK - and not too far from Greater Manchester.
The travel experts have released a new guide on train travel in Europe, which is becoming more popular as an alternative to carbon-heavy flying. Among the top five journeys is the Llandudno to Porthmadog loop.

This breath-taking train journey takes in the stunning scenery of North Wales, travelling from the seaside town of Llandudno, stopping off at Blaenau Ffestiniog on the way to Porthmadog. The route incorporates two narrow-gauge railways, making it easier to navigate the mountainous landscape.
Lonely Planet recommends catching a service from Llandudno Junction through the Conwy Valley to Blaenau Ffestiniog. You can catch a direct train from Manchester to Llandudno, which takes around two hours, or change at Chester, so you don't have to worry about having a car.
From here you can change for the famous Ffestiniog Railway, which travels down to the coast for 13 miles to Porthmadog. You’ll be treated to glorious views along the way including waterfalls, streams and deep valleys.
