Illustration of From Paris to Berlin: 1 Week

Euroventure's From Paris to Berlin is a self-guided rail journey across eight days and seven nights that links three of Europe's major capitals: Paris, Amsterdam, and Berlin. The trip runs from Paris, where you spend two nights and visit the Louvre and Moulin Rouge before a 4-hour train to Amsterdam. You then enjoy three nights in Amsterdam, cycling through the city's historic centre and touring the Van Gogh Museum, before a 7-hour train journey to Berlin for a final two nights exploring the Reichstag and remnants of the Berlin Wall. All train tickets, seat reservations, and Interrail or Eurail passes (chosen for best value) are included. Accommodation in centrally located hostels or hotels is provided, along with walking directions, a personalised travel booklet, 24-hour phone support, and access to exclusive attraction discounts. The self-guided format and choice of accommodation tiers suit first-time rail travellers, solo explorers, and budget-conscious visitors seeking to experience European city culture and nightlife without a guide.
