Culture & History On Board Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, A Belmond Train, Europe

The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, one of the world's most famous luxury trains, is a work of art and a true symbol of Art Deco design. The beautifully restored 1920s, 30s and 50s coaches present the most elegant way to travel, recalling a much-lauded bygone era. The splendour of the 'Roaring Twenties' may have passed by, but the elegance and art of travelling in style is much sought-after today. Cities that have a close historical connection with the train are Paris, Istanbul and Venice, of course, and the train offers journeys between each of the cities, lasting from one to five nights.
