I think the longest train journey in Portugal is from Vila Real de Santo António to Valença do Minho. About 6 hours, so no big deal. However, the longest train journey in the world starts in Portugal and ends in Singapore, 18,755 kilometers, taking 21 days and crossing 13 countries.

But I don't think it is one direct train, is it?

No, you have to switch trains 11 times, I think.

dunno which is the longest but I did a Jászvásár - Temesvár round trip in over 19 hours in each direction (duration on the ticket is almost 18 hours for almost 900km I think).

to travel to Bükreş I spend between 7 and 10 hours by train, depending where I depart from.
