About This Trip

Europe was meant to be discovered by train. The whole continent is perfectly linked by trains of all shapes and sizes and it is here, more so than the streets of the incredible stops on your itinerary, that you will encounter the real Europe. Gaze out the window at stunning lakes and mountains as the singsong chatter of Italian voices surround you, feast on a fresh croissant as you trundle through the Parisian suburbs, into the City of Love. 

 

And this is no ordinary train trip either. You are going to experience some of the greatest cities and sites that Europe has to offer. You start your trip in Italy, staying a couple of nights in Rome, trying to pack in the frankly overwhelming amount of beauty that this city has to offer. Then, you travel up to Florence, Venice and Milan, where you are stuck with the same glorious problem. These are some of the most beautifully crafted cities on earth, each entirely unique and filled with eye watering beauty, otherworldly vibrance and some of the greatest food you will ever eat.  

 

From Italy, you head seamlessly across the border into Switzerland, where everything changes. Not only the language, culture and the look and feel of the trains themselves, but the main change here is the scenery. Taking the train through the Swiss Alps is entirely memorable, something that in years to come you will be able to close your eyes and be transported straight back to. Towering peaks, breathtaking valleys and icy-blue lakes combine with one of the cleanest, best-ordered countries around. And let's not forget the chocolate!! 

 

The last leg of your trip takes you into France, through the French Alps and up to the most popular city on earth, Paris. There could hardly be a better place to finish your trip, such is the overpowering wonder of Paris. While again, there are a million sights to see, even just wandering the streets, popping into little boutiques and buying fresh macarons is enough to live out the Parisian experience.

Other Info
highlights

There are so many potential highlights on a trip like this, it is almost impossible to know where to start. Even just talking about Rome, or Florence, or Venice, or Paris, it is difficult to know which highlights to mention. But you are going to all of them! So we will take these as a bit of a given and delve deeper into the trip itself.  

 

Away from the obvious, the main highlight is the style of the trip. We organise everything for you, your rail tickets, your hotels and you get to travel independently through these magnificent countries. What we also organise are incredible guided trips within these destinations. You will be taken on an Imperial Tour of Rome, a Renaissance Tour of Florence and a Gondola ride in Venice. We have arranged a hop-on-hop-off boat in Lake Como, oh, did we forget to mention you will be visiting the world-famous Lake Como? 

 

And then there are the trains themselves. Packed with local flavour, these are where you get to experience the vibrance of the individual cultures up close. And while the style of train varies depending on country and region, we have included a couple of outstanding trips too. The high-speed train from Florence to Venice and the truly magical Glacier Express and Bernina Express, two alpine adventures that take you through passes whose beauty will bring tears to your eyes.  

 

This is no ordinary train trip, this is a breathtaking collection of memories waiting to be made.   


location
