Destination Summary

The ubiquitous Vespas, Fiat bubble cars, early 20th century modernist architecture and café culture lend Asmara a distinctly Italian atmosphere.

James Says

What a pity that such a beatiful and atmospheric city is so hard to get to. Asmara might be geographically close to Ethiopia, but as Eritrea has border disputes with both Ethiopia, from whom the country gained independence in 1993, and Sudan, attempts to reach Asmara by land from any other northeast African city are likely to prove very difficult.

@Jodatu High speed should be just that - limited stop (which hs2 is), stations that provide onward connections (which hs2 does very poorly)

@Jodatu You wouldn't want 3 stations in Birmingham serving #HS2 - also, double deck, 400m long trains not compatible with classic track

@Jodatu You could make that argument about any central station or hub airport. Reality is, origin + connection passengers justify both
