Independent 15-day rail trip from London through eight European cities

Interrailing Packages, part of Eurailing Packages Ltd, runs this 15-day, 14-night independent rail trip from London St Pancras through eight European cities and back. The route departs by Eurostar for a night in Amsterdam, then continues to Berlin, Prague, Budapest, Ljubljana with a free return trip to Lake Bled, a night in Venice, Rome, and two nights in Paris before the Eurostar back to London. There is no tour manager: travellers use a self-guided app for tickets and city guides, with 24/7 emergency support, and choose their own accommodation each night, from hostel dorm to 3/4-star hotel. The two-week pace mixes short one-night stops with longer stays, suiting independent travellers who want to cover a lot of ground without a group tour structure.

What to know before you look closer

Two stops on this route, Amsterdam and Venice, are single-night stays, a faster pace than the two-to-three-night stays elsewhere on the trip.
Accommodation is left to the traveller to choose each night, from hostel dorm to 3/4-star hotel, so the standard and price vary by tier; a solo hotel room costs about GBP 1,150 more than the base dorm price.
This is an independent, self-guided trip across eight cities over two weeks with no tour manager; support comes from a travel app and 24/7 emergency line rather than an escorted guide.
