Amazing Railway Adventures with Nick Knowles

Nick takes in three capital cities: Prague in the Czech Republic, Bratislava in Slovakia and Budapest in Hungary, with a climb up an observation tower, a visit to the Hungarian Railway Museum, and a cruise.

Nick names this adventure The Volcano Express as he is travelling from Mount Vesuvius to Mount Etna on a journey from Naples to Sicily, where a gyrocopter trip goes terribly wrong.

Among the highlights of 'The Transylvania Express' are a visit to Bran Castle (the inspiration behind Bram Stoker's classic novel Dracula), plus visits to a salt mine at Salina Turda and a brown bear sanctuary.

Nick heads to Morocco, where he visits the old medina in capital Rabat; the city of Sale, where he finds out about its piratical past; and takes a tranquil dawn balloon flight.

An entertaining trip through breath-taking scenery in Slovenia and Croatia, from the Alps to the Adriatic. En route, Nick scales rooftops, paddleboards and hunts truffles.
