Analysis Summary
A new EU longest train journey is now possible from Kemijärvi, Finland to Lagos, Portugal spanning 4,088km geodesic distance — confirmed by Travel Tomorrow after a new Finland-Sweden rail link launched this summer. The route requires 16 trains over roughly 87 hours at a cost of around €400 with an Interrail pass. The core claim about this being Europe's longest train journey is well-sourced, though the specific operational details (exact routing distance, trip duration, train count) come from the author's own detailed mapping and cannot be independently verified.
