Our America experts have all the insider tips - from the best routes and times, to the most luxurious trains to try - to ensure that your getaway to this captivating continent is truly unforgettable from the moment you step aboard, to the moment you chug into your final station.

If you're after a destination-hopping trip around the US, train travel is just the ticket. The high-speed Acela Express is a great way of getting around. Speed past the traffic jams and enjoy some time to rest, read and gaze out the window as you travel between Boston, New York City, Philadelphia and Washington D.C.

Venture further north, and you're met with some seriously scenic train routes.
