Cologne and Munich from Zurich

Rail loop from Zurich to Cologne and Munich via Jungfraujoch

Railbookers runs this eight-day, seven-night independent rail package that starts and ends in Zurich, with train travel through Germany to Cologne and Munich. The trip is built around a handful of named highlights: a day trip to Jungfraujoch, a high peak in the Swiss Alps, from Zurich; the Gothic Cologne Cathedral, Cologne's Old Town, and a tasting of Kolsch, the city's local beer; and Munich's Bavarian heritage. Because this is an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travelers plan their own sightseeing in each city and make their own way to the train for each leg. The night-by-night schedule and hotel standard are not detailed beyond the total of 8 days and 7 nights. It suits independent travelers who want an Alpine day trip alongside German city and beer culture on one round-trip itinerary from Zurich.
