Please note: this prize draw is now closed.
This month you could win a voucher worth £250 to put towards a holiday with Railbookers, the train travel experts. There are trains almost everywhere in the world and taking a journey on the tracks is just so relaxing, whether you are on a high speed trip city to city, a luxury private train, with a nostalgic atmosphere and fine dining or gently passing through rural scenery, absorbing the views from your window.
What’s certain is that you’ll avoid the queues and potential hassle at airports, starting your time away in a civilised fashion. Book in advance to ensure a seat or sleeper accommodation, then let the journey unfold. Railbookers can help with hotels too if you fancy an overnight before you reach your destination. Or join an escorted tour group so you’re certain to find more about where you’re going: we all love the inside stories that guides always seem to know.
Here’s a couple of rail holiday suggestions to consider, although Railbookers can create an individually designed trip of your choosing – they love to get planning!
Grand Vienna, Salzburg and Munich
Combine the vibrant cities of Vienna, Salzburg, and Munich on this ten-night holiday by rail. Travel overnight in a private compartment on an overnight train to the Austrian capital. Explore Vienna and marvel at the Imperial palaces, grand squares and lovely tree-lined boulevards. Then take the train through stunning scenery to the Baroque Austrian city of Salzburg. Enjoy the fairy tale beauty of Hallstatt, and the hills that inspired the movie classic: The Sound of Music. Conclude your journey in the Bavarian capital of Munich, with a guided tour of Neuschwanstein Castle.
The Glacier Express
Surround yourself with the incredible beauty of Switzerland on this five-day rail holiday. Whatever the season, you can guarantee that you’ll be experiencing moments that stay with you for years to come. Switzerland is the crown jewel of Europe. Picturesque villages, stunning alpine lakes, roaring mountain streams, peaceful meadows, historic fortresses, and the majesty of the Swiss Alps. What more could you ask for? Your adventures begin in the north with one night in Zurich. Then, you’ll head to St Moritz, famous for its sublime mountain and lake scenery. From there, you’ll take the legendary Glacier Express into car-free Zermatt, where you’ll be awed by the Matterhorn. Your holiday wraps up with a final night in the cosmopolitan city of Geneva.

I would love to go back to Vienna , reliving my first trip abroad when I was just sixteen years old. I have fond memories of travelling through beautiful countryside with a change of trains in Paris, then travelling through Switzerland with a stop at Zurich. The Euro Tunnel didn’t exist back then in the early 1960s so the journey is undoubtedly much easier nowadays. I remember endless mountain ranges and pretty villages with attractive chalets – it was all so new to me and I know I wasn’t really able to appreciate it! The whole holiday cost just £25 and I was only able to afford it as I won that exact sum on the Premium bonds! If I am able to repeat the journey it will be much more comfortable as I can now afford to book a sleeper and buy food from the buffet and, of course, to take numerous photos on my smart phone.
I would love to go on the Canadian Rockies and Lake Louise Explorer tour – the scenery looks breath-taking!
Would love to tour India on a luxury train holiday. With air conditioning of course!

Would love to travel Italy by train as I feel it would be relaxing.
we’ve travelled from Antibes, France to Viareggio, Italy a number of times – the Italian trains are particularly good and very reasonably priced, so a £250 voucher would let us do a LOT of train travel in Italy, so see other parts.
The Swiss railways are hard to beat but I fancy a cross European journey through Germany, Austria, Croatia and Slovenia sampling all the different cultures and food/wines on the way.
I would love o do Canada and the Rocky Mountaineer

My dream holiday is certainly the mountains around Switzerland; as I am a widow I have to pay a single supplement when I travel so can’t possibly afford the trip myself.
The blue train South Africa would be my ideal train trip
You see a lot more by train and arrive in the heart of the chosen destination. and what no traffic jams to contend with. Perfect and exotic travel.

My dream rail holiday used to be the Orient Express – until I realised that, unless you can afford one of the very expensive suites, the only toilet is at the end of the carriage. This means that if you need to go in the middle of the night you have to put your dressing gown on and hope nobody else is already in there! However, I have recently seen some photos of the Scottish sleeper train, the Caledonian Sleeper, and it has double en-suite rooms which look really comfortable. So I would use the voucher to book a trip to Scotland in style.d
