Independent 8-day rail trip linking Paris, Amsterdam, and Berlin

Illustration of Cityscape

Interrailing Packages, part of Eurailing Packages Ltd, runs this 8-day, 7-night independent rail trip through three of Europe's best-known capitals: Paris, Amsterdam, and Berlin. The trip opens with three nights in Paris, taking in the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, and a Seine river cruise, before moving on to two nights in Amsterdam for the Canal Ring and the Van Gogh Museum, and finishing with two nights in Berlin at the East Side Gallery and Museum Island. There is no tour manager: travellers use a self-guided app for tickets and city guides, with 24/7 emergency support if needed, and pick their own accommodation each night, from hostel to 4-star hotel. The pace suits independent travellers and couples who want a classic three-city introduction to Europe without a group tour structure.

What to know before you look closer

  • The package includes buses as well as trains between Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin, so not every leg between the three cities is guaranteed to be by train.
  • Accommodation is left to the traveller to choose each night, from hostel to 4-star hotel, so the exact property and standard depend on what is booked.
  • This is a self-guided trip with no tour manager; support comes from a travel app and 24/7 emergency line rather than an escorted guide.
