The Best Train Trips in the World: 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards | Condé Nast Traveler

"On a five-hour ride between Christchurch and Greymouth, I found the TranzAlpine to be an approachable, affordable way to fall in love with train travel: its route crosses the rugged Southern Alps via Arthur’s Pass National Park, and panoramic windows, open-air observation cars, and a leisurely pace let you savor every moment." - Todd Plummer
