Illustration of Mediterranean Moments

Mediterranean Moments is a 22-day self-guided rail trip operated by Interrailing Packages (Eurailing Packages Ltd) that runs from Valencia to Sorrento across Spain, France, and Italy, stopping in Barcelona, Montpellier, Nice, Genoa, La Spezia, and Rome. You travel independently between the eight destinations by train, at your own pace, with all rail transport included. Three nights each in Valencia and Barcelona open the trip, where the highlights include Gaudi's architecture. Montpellier and Nice follow, then Genoa and La Spezia, the gateway to the clifftop villages of the Cinque Terre. The trip continues to Rome and finishes with three nights in Sorrento, including a drive along the Amalfi Coast. Interrailing Packages provides a personalised trip-planning app and 24/7 emergency support, and accommodation ranges from a shared hostel dorm to a 3-4 star hotel. This package suits independent, budget-conscious travellers drawn to Mediterranean coastal scenery over a three-week rail itinerary.
