The Golden Ticket

Independent 29-day rail trip from London through eleven European cities

Interrailing Packages, part of Eurailing Packages Ltd, runs this 29-day, 28-night independent rail trip from London St Pancras through eleven European cities and back. The route departs by Eurostar for Paris, then continues to Nice, Florence, three nights in Rome, Venice, Ljubljana with a free return trip to Lake Bled or the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Budapest, Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam, and Brussels before returning to London. There is no tour manager: travellers use a self-guided app for tickets and city guides, with 24/7 emergency support, and choose their own accommodation each night, from hostel dorm to 3/4-star hotel. The four-week length suits independent, experienced travellers and history lovers who want an extended, self-planned tour of Europe's capitals rather than a short guided sample.

What to know before you look closer

The package includes buses as well as trains between the eleven cities, so not every leg of this route is guaranteed to be by train.
Accommodation is left to the traveller to choose each night, from hostel dorm to 3/4-star hotel, so the standard and price vary by tier; a solo hotel room costs about GBP 2,100 more than the base dorm price.
This is an independent, self-guided trip across eleven cities over four weeks with no tour manager; support comes from a travel app and 24/7 emergency line rather than an escorted guide.
