Essential Spain and Italy

14-day independent rail trip through six cities in Spain and Italy

Illustration of Essential Spain and Italy

Railbookers operates this 14-day, 13-night independent rail package that travels through Spain and Italy, starting in Madrid and continuing to Seville, Barcelona, Rome, Florence, and Venice. As an independent rather than an escorted trip, travelers plan their own sightseeing in each city while Railbookers arranges the connections between them, described as travelled by land and sea rather than by rail alone. The operator's description highlights Madrid's Royal Palace, Seville's Alcazar and flamenco culture, and Barcelona's architecture and cuisine, before the route continues into Rome and Florence. Because no day-by-day itinerary is published, the exact time spent in each city, and the details of the final days in Venice, are not specified. The trip suits independent-minded travelers who want to see major cities across two countries by train without following a group schedule.

What to know before you look closer

  • Railbookers publishes no day-by-day itinerary for this package, and the available description does not specify how the 13 nights are divided among the six cities; confirm the schedule with the operator before booking.
  • The description says the journey is 'travelled by land and sea,' meaning part of the route may not be by rail, but the evidence does not specify which leg this covers.
