Brussels and Paris from Munich

Independent 8-day circular rail trip from Munich to Brussels and Paris

Illustration of Brussels and Paris from Munich

Railbookers operates this independent rail vacation as an 8-day, 7-night loop starting and ending in Munich, with stops in Brussels and Paris. Travelers spend two nights in Munich first, with a 2-hour walking tour past the Glockenspiel, Frauenkirche Cathedral and the Opera House, and an evening of Bavarian beer gardens. On day 3, a high-speed train via Frankfurt carries travelers to Brussels for two nights of museums and Belgian waffles. Day 5 continues by direct train to Paris for two nights that include a gourmet dinner cruise on the Seine, skip-the-line Eiffel Tower tickets, and a visit to the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa. A final direct high-speed train returns travelers to Munich for one more night before the trip ends. Because the itinerary offers suggested sights rather than a fixed schedule, this suits travelers comfortable navigating three countries and several train changes on their own.

What to know before you look closer

  • The package lists 17 hotel options across price tiers in Munich, Brussels and Paris rather than one fixed hotel, so the actual hotel and comfort level depend on the tier chosen at booking.
  • The final night in Munich (day 7) is a single-night stay after a full day of travel from Paris, a faster pace than the two-night stops earlier in the trip.
