Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, A Belmond Train (Brussels to Venice)

Some journeys stay with you long after you’ve arrived. Brussels to Venice aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express is one of them. Evenings unfold over elegant dinners, excellent wine and the sound of piano and conversation drifting from Bar Car ‘3674’. Sleep comes easily in your cabin as the train rolls south through Europe. By morning, Italy has taken over the view and Venice is next, with the journey still very much part of the story.
