Explore Europe by train in one of the best rail adventure holidays you’ll ever take. You kick off everything in Rome, and see more of enchanting Italy when you stop at Florence for its Renaissance art and architecture, magical Venice for its romantic canals, and fashionable Milan. What’s great about this 14D/13N European train trip is that you’re given time to explore on your own, while having a scheduled itinerary so you don’t miss the highlights. It also allows you to take in Europe’s spectacular sceneries from a train window like when you continue your railroad journey to Switzerland. Stops in scenic mountain towns, gorgeous lakes, and a stay in a hotel at the heart of a Swiss Mountain Village will fill your holiday with storybook charm.

In Germany, you get to visit its largest wine-producing region, Rheinhessen for its acres of vineyards (Riesling, anyone?) and to the banks of the Rhine River for beer gardens, cafés and taking a leisurely cruise. After an overnight in Luxembourg, a high-speed train takes you to Paris. You get to explore the City of Lights on foot, see its most iconic landmarks and experience why travellers fall in love with the most visited city in the world. When you hop back on the train after two nights in Paris, you’ll find some tranquility in Brussels, Belgium, considered one of the most green European capitals with its parks and gardens. Your last stop will be the capital of Netherlands—Amsterdam where its beautiful canals and distinct perspective make the perfect finale to your railway explorer run.
