The Ocean, the oldest running passenger train in North America and one of the few remaining luxurious trains on the continent. It definitely aged, but still has great charm. The food is cooked on board, and especially the cakes are fantastic. The 1346km journey from Halifax to Montréal takes about 22h.

The key to good cities seems to be narrow roads, farmers markets and orange trees instead of street parking

Dinner on the Eurocity 30 to Zurich. You might be better off getting food in town, but nothing beats that atmosphere.

Incredible art, barely 500 years old. Look how Niccolo dell’Arca captures facial expressions at a time when statues were expected to be stoic and calm
