viaduct

Romania is a special destination for rail travel. Some journeys feel like a step back in time, especially aboard CFR Class 77 railcars – vehicles over 90 years old still running regional services. Add scenic routes like the Olt Valley and the experience becomes unforgettable. 🌄

Railways first, roads second 🚆
Our new custom map styles now highlight rail infrastructure instead of highways. Dark, Light & Topo are updated — plus a brand-new Satellite view (hillshade coming soon!).
Default is now Adaptive, switching light/dark automatically. Change it anytime in settings.

📊 Community survey results:
📱 74% use viaduct on mobile → stronger focus ahead
🧭 Improve trip editor: better wayfinding, more timetable options & smarter station suggestions
🚋 No flight logging wanted, but support for trams & metros is
🔗 Better sharing options are a top wish — already in progress 🚆

Already wondering why we haven’t posted any app updates lately?
There’s a reason: we’re currently busy working on a larger viaduct update with many new features. 🚆 The update is planned for spring 2026. Expect new ways to explore, connect and log your journeys.
More details soon — stay tuned 🙂

Sunrise in Paris.
By early afternoon, you’re in Barcelona.
More than 1,000 km on a double-deck TGV Duplex. Fields, vineyards, the Pyrenees — then Mediterranean light.
Under 7 hours. Direct. Twice a day.

🚆 We’re building one of the most requested viaduct features: create trips directly from your tickets.
To test it, we need your help. Please send us your tickets (PDF, photo, or screenshot) with at least the route (from–to) visible. You can blur personal data.

Southern Shortcut ☀️🚄
First spring sun = head south.
Yesterday we travelled from Vienna on our first ride on the new Koralmbahn — a real gamechanger for southern Austria. Carinthian lakes (and even Italy) just got closer.
Bonus: tried the brand new WESTbahn trains starting service today.

Chicago → Pacific Northwest. The Empire Builder spans 3,500 km in ~46 hours, crossing the Mississippi, Great Plains & Glacier National Park 🚆
With sleepers, dining car & panoramic lounge, it’s built for slow travel.
At viaduct, more timetable data is coming soon also outside Europe, along with improved US routing.

Adriatic Crossing 🌊🚢
From Split to Ancona by ferry – a small escape to summer while winter still lingers. Crossing the Adriatic Sea is the ideal building block for a round trip combining Croatia and Italy: relaxed, scenic, and perfectly suited for slow travel between rail routes on both sides of the sea.

Fjord to mountain ❄️
A short ride from Narvik up to Bjørnfjell.
The Ofotbanen was built for moving ore, and that’s still a big part of what runs here 🚆
Mostly a steady climb, with views opening up along the way.

Hundred Valleys 🚆
The Centovalli Railway runs 52 km between Locarno and Domodossola, crossing 83 bridges and 34 tunnels along the way. Opened in 1923, it’s one of the most scenic — yet a bit underrated — routes in the Alps.
We rode it in 2022 and it was fantastic. Still a bit of a hidden gem compared to bigger names, but absolutely worth it.
