Portugal to Singapore by train Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
About Portugal to Singapore by train
Thanks to the completion in 2021 of a section of railway inLaos, it is now possible to go from theAlgarve, an area in the south of Portugal, to Singapore almost entirely by rail: covering around 18,755 km, this is the longest train trip possible in the world. The railway section that was missing in Laos was built by the Chinese government, which was not as interested in long journeys to the Algarve as they were in moving faster in the opposite direction, from Beijing to Bangkok and Singapore. Before, one had to get off the train at some point, take a bus for a long journey, and get back on another train. The tracks inaugurated in December 2021 now finally connect Boten, which abuts the Chinese border, withVientiane, the capital of Laos, from which one then reachesThailandandMalaysiaeasily.
