The award-winning hotel company Belmond has transformed legendary trains into luxurious hotels on wheels, offering slow-travel routes that stretch from Venice to Peru.
An elegant train travel on abroad, which most of us familiar with Murder on the Orient Express written by Agatha Christie, is no longer a dream for those who pursue different and nostalgic travels. Known for its luxurious boutique hotels in various locations of the world, Belmond offers the opportunity to travel by seeing people, cities, and towns with the renovated historic trains.

Compartments with their own bathrooms, privilege these travels. Considering that everyone will be traveling in their own compartments, these travels are an ideal option in terms of distance and hygiene.
