Great Continental Railway Journeys (2012)

Episode Overview

Michael Portillo sets off on a picturesque thousand-mile train adventure, traveling from Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, to Abisko, located within the Arctic Circle. Guided by his 1936 copy of Bradshaw’s Continental Railway Guide, he hops aboard a steam train to enjoy Midsummer festivities in Marielund, discovers the art of adorning a Dala horse in Mora, and braves a chilly plunge into one of Sweden's 96,000 lakes.
