Amtrak USA Passenger Rail - the best way to travel to America's Gardens
Take Amtrak USA Passenger Rail to the gardens of the Capital Region – in Virginia, you’ll find beautiful countryside just outside your panoramic window as you journey to the home and gardens of Thomas Jefferson in Charlottesville. Amtrak is a few hours ride from New York to the Capital Region’s Destination Washington. You can literally stroll from The Union Train Station in Washington, DC to the U.S. Botanic Gardens on the National Mall.
You’ll find more gardens beyond the Capital Region via Amtrak. The Coast Starlight between Seattle and Los Angeles, for example, takes you to the heart of Los Angeles where you can explore LA’s Botanical Gardens. Of course you’ll travel through California’s wine country and orchards, and if you continue on to San Diego, you’ll not only see tropical flora and fauna, but unparalleled vistas of the sea and surfers thrilling to the waves of the Pacific Ocean.
Amtrak’s Northeast Regional service offers frequent departures from Washington DC and New York to Boston’s famed Arnold Arboretum while The Palmetto route to Savannah and Charleston transport you to antebellum mansions surrounded by wisteria and magnolia blossoms.
The popular Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania is accessible via The Keystone Service that travels through the colourful Amish countryside while Baltimore’s Sherwood Gardens begs for a ride aboard The Cardinal which offers spectacular views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Amtrak has 18 long distance routes and many connecting services. Whether you’re bound for the Dr. Seuss sculpture garden in Springfield, MA or Callaway Gardens in Georgia, an Amtrak train is the most relaxing, picturesque way to get there. Serving more than 500 destinations in 46 American states, Amtrak USA Passenger Rail is a convenient way to travel to the gardens of the Capital Region and throughout the USA, allowing you to connect with Thruway services or collect hire cars closer to your favourite garden venue.
