Western Mediterranean Rail Journey

16-day independent rail journey Rome to Madrid through Italy, France, Spain

Illustration of Western Mediterranean Rail Journey

Railbookers' Western Mediterranean Rail Journey is a 16-day independent package that strings together nine destinations across Italy, France, and Spain by train. You start in Rome, move north to the Italian coast at Sestri Levante (where you spend two nights as a base to visit the Cinque Terre villages), then travel west to the South of France, visiting Nice, Cannes, and Marseille. From there the route continues to Barcelona and ends in Seville and Madrid. The trip suits independent travellers who want the structure of a pre-booked rail-and-room itinerary without a guide. Accommodation and train travel are included; meals and daily activities are yours to arrange.

What to know before you look closer

  • The operator publishes no day-by-day itinerary for this package; confirm which specific trains, hotel nights in each city, and included meals apply before booking.
  • The description trails off mid-sentence and does not detail the full routing or what is covered beyond rail and room.
