About This Trip

Travelling by train through Europe is an experience that everyone should indulge in, and if you are doing it, then here is your chance to ride the very best there is. On this trip, you will experience some of the finest rail journeys in the world, enjoying the truly unbelievable scenery and relaxing with the locals as you wind through Italy, Switzerland and France. 

 

It is not just the journeys that are magnificent on this trip either. How does this list of cities sound? Venice, Milan, St Moritz, Zermatt, Geneva and Paris. Each one of those is a trip in itself, and each so wildly different from the next in terms of culture, architecture and of course some have streets and others have canals! 

 

You start your trip in Italy, staying a couple of nights in Venice before heading to Milan, where you will take a side trip to the stunning Lake Como. You will get a chance to see every side of Italy here, from the romance of Venice and the modern vibrance of Milan to the natural wonder of Lake Como and its laid-back beauty. 

 

From Italy, you jump on two of the greatest rail journeys in the world, the Bernina Express and the Glacier Express. These world-famous trains will lead you past towering peaks, down breathtaking valleys and around icy-blue lakes, stopping off in the idyllic mountain towns of St Moritz and Zermatt. 

 

After a quick stop in the chic city of Geneva, you head over to France and make your way towards the most popular city on earth, Paris. Here we have arranged some unique visits for you, including riding down the Seine on an all glass boat and climbing up the Eiffel Tower. We have also included a trip to sample the magnificence of the Palace of Versailles, to round out one of the most immersive discoveries of Europe around.

Other Info
highlights

Packed to the brim with highlights, we have included some guided trips and amazing experiences along the way, and ensured that you have plenty of free time to focus on the elements of these incredible locations that interest you the most. 

 

Venice is an obvious highlight and a truly outstanding location to start your trip. Nowhere else matches the otherworldly nature of this city on water and while you get your bearings, we have laid on a 30-minute gondola trip, to get you in the mood.  

 

While most people might, quite rightly, assume that Venice and Paris will be the main attractions, what we are focusing on during this trip is showcasing the best that Europe has to offer and nowhere is this more apparent on the Bernina and Glacier Express trains through the Swiss Alps. These incredible trains are going to take you on ascents and descents that put a rollercoaster to shame, but don't worry, the selling point of these trains is that they are super-slow, enabling you to relax and drink in every second of the jaw-dropping scenery that you will be completely surrounded by.


location

Your trip begins in Venice, before heading to Milan, with a side order of Lake Como.  Then you head to Tirano, where you cross from Italy, into the marvels of Switzerland. On two of Europe's most renowned trains, you will explore the Swiss Alps, stopping in St Moritz and Zermatt before heading down to finish your Swiss leg of the trip in Geneva. Finally, from Geneva, you travel through France and end up in Paris where you have a few days to explore its wonders before catching your onward travel.
