Capital to Capital

East Coast rail journey from Toronto to Washington DC via VIA Rail and Amtrak

Illustration of Capital to Capital

Railbookers' Capital to Capital package lets you travel independently across five major cities in Eastern Canada and the northeastern United States over 13 days. Beginning in Toronto, Canada's largest city, the journey follows VIA Rail and Amtrak southward through Ottawa, Canada's capital, and Montreal, known for its French heritage and culture, before crossing into the United States. The route continues to New York City, then Philadelphia, ending in Washington DC, the nation's capital. Along the way you stop at Niagara Falls. This is an independent package, meaning Railbookers handles the rail reservations and hotel bookings, but you set your own schedule in each city. It suits first-time rail travellers seeking a structured introduction to North American rail and independent explorers who want established accommodation and transport without a guide.
