Nine-day rail trip through Munich, Innsbruck, Lausanne, and Paris

Illustration of Munich, Innsbruck, Lausanne, and Paris

Railbookers operates this 9-day, 8-night independent rail vacation that runs by train from Munich through Innsbruck and Lausanne to Paris, spending two nights in each city. The trip opens with a guided walking tour of Munich covering the Glockenspiel, the Residenz, and the Frauenkirche, before a train carries travelers into the Alps at Innsbruck, where a 48-hour Innsbruck Card gives access to the Nordkette Cable Car and the Imperial Palace. From there, a 3-Day Swiss Pass covers a lake ferry from Lausanne to Chillon Castle on Lake Geneva. The final leg by train reaches Paris, where an included hop-on hop-off pass, a Seine River Cruise, and priority access to the Eiffel Tower summit round out the trip. With two-night stops throughout and one small-group guided tour in Munich, this suits travelers who want a structured four-country rail route without daily hotel changes. Rail travel and hotel breakfasts are included in every city.
