Da Vinci Way

Independent 22-day rail circuit from London through nine European cities

Interrailing Packages, part of Eurailing Packages Ltd, runs this 22-day, 21-night independent rail circuit from London St Pancras through nine European cities and back. The route departs by Eurostar for three nights in Paris, then continues to the French Riviera city of Nice, three nights in Rome, Venice, Ljubljana with a free return trip to Lake Bled, Vienna, Prague, three nights in Berlin, and Amsterdam 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 pace and length suit independent, experienced travellers and history lovers who want an extended, self-planned tour of Europe's capitals rather than a short guided sample.

What to know before you look closer

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 1,450 more than the base dorm price.
This is an independent, self-guided trip across nine cities in 22 days with no tour manager; support comes from a travel app and 24/7 emergency line rather than an escorted guide.
The evidence does not give a day-by-day breakdown of which specific train each city-to-city leg uses, only the overall Interrail Pass route including Eurostar.
