Illustration of Barcelona, Zaragoza, and Madrid

Railbookers' Barcelona, Zaragoza, and Madrid package is an eight-day independent rail journey through three of Spain's major cities. You start in Barcelona, board the high-speed AVE train to the ancient city of Zaragoza, then continue by rail to Madrid. The package is designed for travellers who prefer to explore on their own without a guide, moving between cities on scheduled trains and spending your days discovering each city's neighbourhoods, museums, and squares at your own pace. This trip suits first-time rail travellers seeking an affordable introduction to train travel in Europe, as well as independent explorers comfortable navigating cities and train stations without an escort. The from-price of USD 1,299 includes accommodation and all AVE train fares for the week.
