Galle – Secrets of Sri Lanka by Train
The southwestern corner of Sri Lanka is guarded proudly by the striking fort city of Galle. The fort itself – forming an almost perfect pentagon jutting out into the coast – is surrounded by golden sands and crystal clear waters, while inside lies a truly splendid collection of colonial-era architecture, coming from periods of Portuguese, Dutch and British rule. Our 10-day Rail Trip in Sri Lanka ends up in Galle, where you’ll get to stay at a hotel within the Unesco-listed fort city itself. We’ll leave you to mostly explore the place at your own pace, but we recommend a stroll along the city walls and a visit to the old lighthouse, as well as plenty of time kept for mooching around cute cafes and artisan shops. You can also escape the fort to explore some of the region’s stunning tropical beaches, which rank among the finest in all of South Asia.

Split & Dubrovnik – Coastal Croatia
It’s so hard to choose between these two Croatian gems that we decided to just give props to both of them. Both Split and Dubrovnik are extremely historical cities, both found on Croatia’s glorious Dalmatian Coast. They also form the start and end points of our eight-day tour of this stunning seaside region, which includes island-hopping adventures, wine tastings and oyster slurpings. We start in Split, famous for its scenic promenade and Unesco-listed Palace of Diocletian. You’ll get a guided tour of the city and a stargazing experience at the city’s Starry Village observatory. Our endpoint, meanwhile, has become one of the most easily recognisable cities on the planet, largely thanks to Game of Thrones, for which Dubrovnik sat in for the fantastical city of King’s Landing. The fort city’s impressively preserved walls and striking red-tiled rooftops make it endlessly easy on the eye, while the narrow alleyways and ancient architecture of its old town is as magical as Game of Thrones itself. You’ll get a guided tour of the city and a farewell dinner at one of the best local restaurants in town – the perfect way to end your Croatian adventure.
