What are the exciting highlights of the event?
Step inside the two original Orient Express train carriages: the fourgon car and a Pullman car built in 1929. Visitors can witness the lavish decorations and the history of what was once a luxury train service experienced by only a few explorers and diplomats.
The pop-up museum displays over 300 artefacts such as tablewares used onboard, uniforms, Louis Vuitton trunks once used by the travellers, posters from movies inspired by the Orient Express and many more.
The 40-seat Orient Express Road Cafe features various coffee blends discovered along the iconic train’s stops through Paris, Venice, Vienna and Istanbul. There is also Kopi O, Singapore’s traditional coffee and other dishes on the menu. Reservations are not needed; you can do walk-in and even take away your order.
