European Cities Spectacular: London to Zurich

17-day independent rail journey from London to Zurich across eight cities

Illustration of European Cities Spectacular: London to Zurich

Railbookers operates this 17-day, 16-night independent rail package that travels from London through Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, and Salzburg before ending in Zurich. The operator describes the cities as connected by scenic train rides, with travelers arranging their own sightseeing at each stop rather than following an escorted guide. The trip is framed around Europe's history, culture, art, and architecture across the eight cities, though no day-by-day itinerary specifies what happens in each place or how the 16 nights are divided among them. At the end of the route, travelers fly back to London from Zurich rather than returning by rail. This suits independent-minded travelers who want an extended, multi-country rail trip through some of Europe's best known cities and are comfortable managing their own schedule and luggage across eight stops, rather than following a guided group itinerary.

What to know before you look closer

  • Railbookers publishes no day-by-day itinerary for this package, and nights per city are not specified beyond the totals for the whole 17-day trip; confirm the schedule with the operator before booking.
  • The description notes the trip flies back to London from Zurich at the end, so the return leg is not by rail even though the outbound cities are described as connected by scenic train rides.
