The Orient Express

The Orient Express was a luxurious passenger train that operated from the late 19th century until the 1970s, connecting Paris to Istanbul across Europe. Known for its elegant service and exquisite cabins, it became a symbol of sophisticated travel and adventure. Travelers appreciated its comfort, fine dining, and the opportunity to experience diverse cultures along the route. The train's reputation was further enhanced by its appearances in literature and film, notably Agatha Christie's novel "Murder on the Orient Express." Today, it remains an iconic name in train travel history, representing a bygone era of opulent transcontinental journeys.
