Which is the longest travel train route?

How much does the longest train journey cost?

Two grand to travel from Lisbon to Saigon? That's, like, less than my rent! Forget planes, trains are the new black, baby!

Twelve days cooped up on a train sounds like a reality show waiting to happen. Winner gets bragging rights and, uh, possibly a shower?

For that price you get a trip spanning continents. Seems like a pretty sweet deal.

• Price: $2,000. Cheaper than a used car that probably breaks down.
• Duration: 12 days (275 hours). Pack your patience, folks!
• Distance: 11,000 miles. That's like halfway around the planet, give or take.
• Starting point: Portugal. Get ready for some sweet pastries.
• Ending point: Vietnam. Slurp some pho at the finish line!

You should bring noise-cancelling headphones. Trust me on this. And extra socks. Don't ask why. Seriously, don't.

How long does it take to go from Portugal to Singapore by train?

Twenty-one days. Portugal to Singapore. It's almost three weeks spent just...moving.

18,755 kilometers. I converted it. That's more than 11,650 miles. Unreal.

I picture myself on the train. Staring out the window. For weeks. What would I even think about? Mom would hate that I spent so much time alone.

• Route Details: Spain, France, Poland, Belarus, Russia, Mongolia, China, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, and finally, Singapore. So many borders. So many visa worries.
• Cost: I imagine it isn't cheap. Like, thousands of dollars, easily. I wonder if there's a cheaper way, there probably is.
• Realistically: Can you even do it in 2024? I don't know. Maybe some parts are broken now. Trade routes change, dont they?
• Thinking: I like to think about how long it would take me.
• Actually: Probably I'd not do it.

How much does it cost to go around the world by train?

Sheesh! Around the world by train? That'll lighten your wallet... permanently! Expect to cough up at least $125,557. And that's just the starting bid, folks!

Flights? Nah, those are extra, like guac at Chipotle. Gotta fly between continents, unless you can swim the Atlantic.

Luxury hotels are included, thank goodness! Also, the price includes, like, private tours of the Colosseum and the Taj Mahal. Fancy!

Cabins onboard? Well, duh. You ain't gonna sleep on the roof!

So, you're basically paying the price of a small house to ride a choo-choo and maybe see some sights. Bargain, right? No way!

Things that could cost extra:

• Snacks. Train snacks are highway robbery.
• Souvenirs. Gotta have that tiny Eiffel Tower.
• Tipping. The guy who hauls your suitcase deserves a bonus.
• Visas. Because borders exist.

This whole train trip reminds me of my Uncle Jerry's "sure thing" investment in emu farming. Remember that? What a bust!
