Malta is a lesser-explored Mediterranean island filled with all the fascinating history, unique cultures and delectable local cuisine that you’d expect from a holiday hotspot like Italy – but in miniature, and with far fewer tourists.

Nothing encapsulates the essence of ‘slow travel’ more so than a scenic train journey. That's why we've put together this selection of our favourite Back-Roads Touring rail adventures around the globe.

Where better to indulge in the many culinary delights of this world-famous Italian region than in captivating Florence – Tuscany’s endlessly stylish and historic capital?

Short on time but still want a mini-break that's overflowing with unique cultural experiences, hearty fare and history? You need look no further than the delightful cobbled streets of Dublin!

At Back-Roads Touring, we’re always thinking about ways to make travel more sustainable – and we strive to make a positive difference wherever we go.
