Grand Paris to Venice and Vienna via the Alps

Paris to Vienna rail trip via Lausanne, the Alps, and Venice

Grand Paris to Venice and Vienna via the Alps is an 8-day, 7-night independent rail package from Railbookers running from Paris to Vienna with stops along the way. Travelers spend one night in Lausanne, a French-Swiss lakeside town, before the train continues to Venice through the Alps, passing snow-capped mountain scenery that Railbookers highlights as a trip draw. In Venice, a Vaporetto pass is included, giving travelers their own way around the city's canals, bridges, and squares. Because it is independent rather than escorted, travelers explore each stop, including Vienna, at their own pace. The trip suits travelers who want scenic Alpine rail travel between major cities without a guided group. Prices start from $2299.
