10-day independent rail trip: Amsterdam, Paris, and Barcelona

Railbookers operates this 10-day independent rail vacation from Amsterdam to Barcelona, spending three nights each in Amsterdam, Paris, and Barcelona. The Amsterdam days combine a small-group food tour with a visit to the Rijksmuseum, plus the option to add Anne Frank's House or the Heineken Brewery Museum. A high-speed train carries travelers to Paris, where a hop-on hop-off pass, priority access to the Eiffel Tower, and a Louvre Museum visit to see the Mona Lisa fill three days alongside the Champs-Elysees and Arc de Triomphe. From Paris, a train continues to Barcelona for a further hop-on hop-off pass, a skip-the-line guided tour of Gaudi's Sagrada Familia, and a free day to explore Park Guell or the seafront. Because it is independent rather than escorted, this suits travelers who want the trains, hotels, and headline sights arranged in advance while still setting their own pace between stops.
Across 4 checks, this price has fallen US$950 since 4 Jul, to US$1,449.
