Amazing Railway Adventures with Nick Knowles

In Morocco, Nick explores the old medina in capital Rabat; the city of Salé, where he finds out about its piratical past; and takes a tranquil dawn balloon flight.

The presenter tours Romania, undertaking a journey he calls 'The Transylvania Express'. He begins in Cluj-Napoca, taking a train to the disused salt mine of Salina Turda, where the vast underground cavern has surprising new uses. Nick also pays a visit to Romania's top tourist attraction, Bran Castle, the inspiration behind Bram Stoker's classic novel, Dracula.

Nick names this trip "The Volcano Express". He travels from Mount Vesuvius to Mount Etna on a journey from Naples to Sicily, where a gyrocopter trip goes wrong.

Nick kicks off a new series, taking in three capitals: Prague in the Czech Republic, Bratislava in Slovakia, and Budapest in Hungary, with a climb and a cruise.
