Classic Italy and the Swiss Alps

15-day independent rail trip through Italy and the Swiss Alps

Railbookers' Classic Italy and the Swiss Alps is a 15-day, 14-night independent rail package covering seven stops across two countries. It starts in Rome, with visits to the Roman Forum and the Colosseum, then continues to Florence for the Uffizi Gallery and the Duomo Cathedral, and on to Milan to see its own Duomo, Sforza Castle and the Royal Palace. From Italy, the route turns north into Switzerland, riding the Bernina Express in its red carriages toward St. Moritz, then on to the mountain resorts of Grindelwald and Jungfraujoch before finishing in Zurich. As an independent package, travelers arrange their own days between stops rather than following a tour manager. It suits travelers who want to pair Italy's classic historic sights with a dedicated stretch of Swiss Alpine rail travel in a single trip.

What to know before you look closer

  • Railbookers does not publish a day-by-day itinerary for this package; with seven stops across 15 days, confirm the order of cities and how the 14 nights are split before booking.
  • The operator's own description cuts off mid-sentence describing the Swiss portion of the route, so some scenery and activity details beyond that point are not documented in what we have.
