The original Orient Express ran between two cities.If the one was Paris what
was the other?

Answer 1

Wikepedia has an interesting article about this fabulous railway route. It reads, in part:

"Orient Express is the name of a long-distance passenger train originally operated by the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits. Its route has changed many times, and several routes have in the past concurrently used the name. Although the original Orient Express was simply a regular international railway service, the name has become synonymous with luxury travel. The current Orient Express runs from Paris to Vienna. It is expected to be discontinued on June 9, 2007,[1] with the inauguration of the TGV Est.
he original route, which first ran on October 4, 1883, was from Paris to Giurgiu in Romania via Munich and Vienna. At Giurgiu, passengers were ferried across the Danube to Rousse in Bulgaria to pick up another train to Varna, from where they completed their journey to Istanbul by ferry. In 1885, another route began operations, this time reaching Istanbul via rail from Vienna to Belgrade and Niš, carriage to Plovdiv and rail again to Istanbul.

1889 saw the completion of a direct rail line to Istanbul. The Orient Express at this time ran daily from Paris to Budapest, three times a week onwards to Belgrade and Istanbul, and once weekly to Bucharest and Constanţa, on the Black Sea.

Later the same year, the train's eastern terminus became Varna in Bulgaria, where passengers could take a ship to Istanbul. In 1889 the train began running non-stop all the way to Istanbul, which remained its easternmost stop until May 19, 1977. The eastern terminus was the Sirkeci Terminal by the Golden Horn. Ferry service from piers next to the terminal would take passengers across the Bosporus Strait to Haydarpaşa Terminal, the terminus of the Asian lines of the Ottoman railways."

There is also fuller information about its history which is too long to reproduce here.
