Paris to Venice via the Alps

7-day rail trip from Paris to Venice via the Simplon Pass

Railbookers operates this 7-day, 6-night independent rail package linking Paris, Geneva, and Venice. The description calls Paris the most romantic city in the world, the trip's opening stop, before the train continues to Geneva, where there is time for an evening meal or a stroll by the lake. After one night in Geneva, the route continues the next day over the scenic Simplon Pass, crossing the Alps and the border into Italy, before arriving in Venice for three nights. With two nights in Paris, one in Geneva, and three in Venice, this is a more relaxed pace than some of Railbookers' other multi-city rail routes, weighted toward the final stop. Because this is an independent rail package, Railbookers arranges the trains and hotels between the three cities without a guide. It suits couples and independent travelers who want Alpine scenery on the way to an extended stay in Venice.
