Paris, Strasbourg, and Lucerne

7-day rail trip combining Paris, Strasbourg, and Swiss Lucerne

Railbookers operates this 7-day, 6-night independent rail package linking Paris, Strasbourg, and Lucerne. It is a shorter itinerary than some of Railbookers' other multi-city rail packages, moving between just three stops in a week. Paris opens the trip with what the operator calls French elegance, then the train continues to Strasbourg, a city described as blending different cultures. Strasbourg changes with the season: summer brings flowers, markets, and festivities, while winter brings Christmas markets and seasonal decorations. The trip finishes in Lucerne, in the Swiss Alps, where a day trip is included from the city, though the operator's own description does not say where it goes. Because this is an independent rail package rather than an escorted tour, travelers move between Paris, Strasbourg, and Lucerne on trains Railbookers arranges, without a guide managing the days between stops.
