Florence via the Alps from London

Seven-day rail trip from London to Florence via Geneva and the Alps

Illustration of Florence via the Alps from London

Railbookers runs this seven-day, six-night independent rail package starting in London and ending in Florence, with Geneva in between. There is no tour guide; Railbookers arranges the train travel, and the trip opens with two nights in London before the train heads to lakeside Geneva. From Geneva, the route crosses the Swiss Alps through the Simplon Pass, described as magnificent scenery, on the way south to Florence. The final three days are spent in Florence, discovering the city's landmarks and attractions independently. It suits travelers who want to start their trip in London rather than fly directly into continental Europe, and who are drawn to a scenic Alpine rail crossing as part of the journey.

What to know before you look closer

  • The operator publishes no day-by-day itinerary for this package; the description confirms two nights in London and three days in Florence but does not say how the remaining night in Geneva is allocated, so confirm the full schedule with Railbookers before booking.
