Certain destinations around the world are better explored via train, whether due to their lack of road networks, complications at border crossings or general traffic concerns on roads or commuter rails. Plus, many of the luxury trains that traverse these destinations are worthy of a ride in their own right, with their impeccable interior design, stellar dining programs and organized sightseeing excursions.

But with so many options available, which are worthy of your time and money? To help you pick the perfect rail adventure, we compiled a list of six amazing destinations best suited for luxury train travel. Read on to find the right locale and learn which train you should climb aboard while there.

Though the island of Kyushu, the third largest in Japan, has solid public transportation and an extensive road network, you should still consider traveling through it by luxury train. Why? Because the Seven Stars train in Kyushu is absolutely beautiful. While Japan might be best known for its Shinkansen high-speed trains, this train hearkens back to a different, more leisurely era of train travel, with intricate wood decor throughout the carriages that blend Japanese and Western architectural styles.

Traffic in India is notorious, so skip the delays when traveling around the country by taking the luxurious Maharajas' Express, a train that offers three seven-day itineraries and one four-day option. The longer three all connect Delhi and Mumbai, stopping in a variety of destinations such as Udaipur, Jodhpur and Agra, where you'll find the Taj Mahal, among other attractions. The shorter journey travels round trip from Delhi.

New Zealand is one of those destinations best explored by car or campervan. Public transport is limited outside cities, and so much of what you'll want to see and do is off-the-beaten-track, immersed in New Zealand's incredible natural environments. Road tripping means touring at your own pace, stopping for stunning walks, cycle rides, wild swimming or wildlife spotting.

Featuring 25 amazing road trips, plus up-to-date advice on the destinations you'll visit along the way, you can cruise Bay of Islands and Milford Sound, meander to sophisticated vineyard restaurants on Waiheke Island, and spot whales and dolphins off the Kaikoura Coast; all with your trusted travel companion.

One of the most famous spots is the Jerónimos Monastery and nearby is the famous Belem Tower that was built on the banks of the Tejo River and has become one of the main local monuments as it symbolizes Lisbon in a unique way. Then, get a rental car and explore surrounding cities like Cascais and Lagos, which offer incredible views of the sea and stunning sunsets.

TIP: If you are in Siena without a car, the best way to explore the Tuscan countryside is by taking an organized tour, e.g. this wine tour that brings you to Montalcino, Pienza, and Montepulciano from Siena.

TIP: If you want to stay in just one place for sightseeing, the best place to stay for exploring Tuscany would be the area close to Volterra or San Gimignano. It is very centrally located in Tuscany and is therefore ideal if you are looking to stay at just one hotel and explore the region by taking day trips. Here you can find the best deals for accommodation in Volterra and hotels in the San Gimignano area.

So, this is our suggested Tuscany itinerary for up to one week. If you are planning a trip to Italy, make sure to check our Italy travel guide for more tips and travel advice for a big variety of popular destinations in Italy.

Hi Themis, it's a bit difficult to advise much since there are thousands of possibilities and I have no time to plan individual itineraries for our readers. Two weeks sounds like a nice amount of time, but you could spend 2 months and still not see it all. So just make the most of the time that you have.Also, keep in mind that it's going to be very hot (although you're probably used to that in Greece) and also very, very busy in both these areas.For the Amalfi Coast, I recommend staying in Sorrento - leave your car and don't touch it for a week :). You can find some ideas on how to plan your time in our Amalfi Coast itinerary, plus many articles that we link to from that one. You may also want to read this guide: where to stay on the Amalfi Coast.For Tuscany, maybe you could split your stay between two areas - one closer to Montepulciano and one closer to Florence / Pisa/ Luca. Or just one that's more centrally located and then explore the rest by car.You'll find many wineries and nice agriturismos in Tuscany. On the Amalfi Coast, it's more about limoncello, seafood, and sea views.I can't really recommend any specific hotels/ agriturismos as there are just too many choices, very different budgets, and also - now already - limited availability. We use booking for all our stays when we travel and always find nice places, just don't wait too long to book since your travel period is still school holidays in Italy and in general, August is the busiest month there.Good luck with the planning!

Hi Jodie, yes, if you want to explore the Tuscan countryside, renting a car is the best option. However, keep in mind that August is the busiest month for travel in Italy and it's going to be very busy (and very hot). The second half of the month is better for the crowds than mid-July to mid-August, but you'd enjoy it more if you can come a bit later. September, especially the second half, would be much quieter and - normally - not nearly as hot.For parking - the best way to avoid issues is to start your days early and get to the most popular places first thing in the morning.Also, you don't need a car for the big cities like Florence, so you could just rent it for the part of the trip, depending on where exactly you are planning to go.All in all, if you are prepared for it and are flexible enough, I'm sure you can have a great trip in the summer as well. Just get accommodation(s) with a pool!PS We've been to Australia and other places where they drive differently than here in Europe and never had any issues. Since the car you rent is adapted for the traffic there, you quickly get used to it and just follow the traffic.

Or why not try a cultural experience for a few of your vacation nights? Staying in a homestay gives you the opportunity to live like a local and find some of the best spots to explore that tourists might not usually hear about. And a bonus to this? Homestays with more basic amenities tend to be less carbon intensive than luxury resorts with pools, spas, golf courses, and fitness centers.

From other historic Andalusian cities to picturesque pueblos blancos, and from areas of natural beauty to wine destinations and coastal areas, you can have a fabulous time exploring Andalusia, and even beyond.

Tickets for the Alhambra and the Generalife should be reserved well in advance, unless you are part of a guided tour. On a day trip, we highly recommend a guided tour as an efficient way to see the Alhambra and the Generalife.

Bus tickets can also be purchased in advance, and I recommend buying tickets for longer journeys or to destinations with fewer daily buses in advance. There are multiple bus companies that operate in Andalusia, with at least five companies serving different routes from Seville.

Other must-see destinations in Valentine include Valentine City Park, The Prairie Club golf course, Centennial Hall Museum, Merritt Reservoir, Niobrara Valley Vineyards, The Sandhill, Cowboy Trail, and more.

We took an 18 day trip through Scotland and Ireland and you could put together a trip using our Scotland Itinerary and Ireland Itinerary. It is a beautiful trip through Europe, a nice mix of a few cities but outdoor destinations as well. You could also do Amsterdam to Paris to London to Dublin. Or, do 5 days in London plus our Ireland Itinerary. Have fun deciding! Cheers, Julie

It might be a good idea to pick infant-friendly travel destinations closer to home. An 8-hour flight overseas might be okay, but a 15-hour long-haul flight will be much more challenging (If you are traveling long-haul, you might appreciate our long-haul flight checking list for babies).

Italy is one of the best places to go on holiday with a baby. It is easy to find some beautiful family-friendly accommodation options. We chose Tuscany for our list because it has plenty of stroller-friendly destinations.

While we recommend you leave the cliff-top towns such as Santorini for another year, you could visit many other beautiful destinations in Greece with your baby in tow. Make sure you and your baby visit the Plaka District of Athens and The Castles Of Rhodes.

Jamaica is known as a paradise getaway, and no reason having a baby should change this experience. Runaway Island in Jamaica prioritizes an atmosphere of relaxation and is one of the top places to travel with a baby.

We are a family of wanderlusters on a mission to explore the World!In June'15 we made a decision that changed our world as we knew it!

Las Vegas is one of the most popular destinations in the USA and attracts visitors in search of nightlife, extravagant shows, casinos, and amazing sights. Like many US cities, Las Vegas is a driving city and a rental car makes it so much easier to explore. 2b1af7f3a8
