Traveling by Amtrak trains and heritage railways, these vacations present opportunities to visit major cities, such as New York City, where you can admire the lights of Times Square or catch a show on Broadway; Washington, DC, which is brimming with historic museums and inspiring monuments and is home to our nation's capital; Chicago at the heart of the country, with its fantastic shopping on the Magnificent Mile and incredible views from the top of the Willis Tower; Seattle, where you can travel to the top of the Space Needle and visit lively Pike Place Market; and the sparkling city of Los Angeles, renowned for its high-end shopping along Rodeo Drive and its connection to Hollywood, which can be experienced at Universal Studios.
Traveling across America by rail also offers a peek at the untamed beauty of the country's national parks. Some of our train vacation packages include time in Glacier National Park, where you can sightsee along the Going-to-the-Sun Road in vintage Red Jammer buses, or Grand Canyon National Park, home to one of the most spectacular Natural Wonders of the World. There is no better way to experience the dramatic changes that shape our landscape from one region to the next than on a rail tour across America.
