The original Orient Express @vsoetrain , the most iconic train ride in the world
The Venice Simplon Orient Express is a luxury train service that travels between various European cities, with its most famous route running from London to Venice. Origins tracing back to the original OE service, which made its maiden journey in 1883.
“On October 4th, 1883 the most fascinating train in the world left Paris for Constantinople (Istanbul, Turkey). The round trip lasted 7 days and the notion of long-distance travel was completely redefined”
Today, passengers can experience this luxury train for 6 days and 3 nights on the train, reminiscent of the Golden Age of travel (1920s and 1930s).

Honey you pay from one stop to the other 5k. You don’t pay from the beginning to the end 😂 if y’all wanna do that prepare to pay 20k. Luxury travel experience yet it was redesigned to make money. The real orient express was a way to go from one place to another at all. Especially to Istanbul. It was a horrific experience back in the day. Now it’s a simple way of making people pay money to post videos. Nothing about history on this train 👌
Eh still cheaper than British trains
More bushwah nonsense
