Portugal to Singapore by train is an intercontinental itinerary from Lagos in Portugal to Singapore, crossing 13 countries by train.
This is reckoned to be the longest railway journey you can take. In fact there's never been an unbroken railway along this route - it's disrupted by war and Covidphobia, and there's a gap of 15 km between railways in Laos. But if you're prepared to do it in sections whenever circumstances permit, you can start it right now.
UnderstandIt's almost 200 years since the first steam-hauled passenger railway revolutionised travel in September 1825.
Get inThe complete itinerary crosses 13 countries. Check that your passport has enough room for all the stamps you're going to acquire, and will still have six months validity by the end of your trip.
GoPortugal is on Greenwich Mean Time or UTC, an hour behind Spain. CP (Coimboios de Portugal) is the national railway operator.
