Alpine peaks, medieval old towns and glacier railways — flights, hotels and guided touring, all in one carefully planned European journey.
This 7-night / 8-day itinerary combines Paris with five Swiss destinations: Paris, Interlaken, Bern, Lucerne and Zurich. The itinerary includes hotel stays, daily breakfast, Paris sightseeing, selected attractions, Paris–Switzerland TGV transfer, a 4-day Swiss Travel Pass and hotel, airport and intercity transfers.
This itinerary opens in Paris — the Louvre, the Seine, the Eiffel Tower at dusk — before a high-speed rail transfer carries you into the Bernese Oberland. From there the pace slows to lake crossings, mountain rail, and small-town squares: Interlaken's twin lakes, Bern's arcaded old town, Lucerne beneath Mt. Titlis, and Zurich on the water's edge before your flight home.
Every transfer between cities is by train, every hotel is centrally located, and the sightseeing is front-loaded into the mornings so afternoons stay open for wandering.
A full breakdown of where you'll stay, what's included each day, and where you'll have free time.
Land in Paris and transfer to your city-centre hotel. Once settled, head straight to the Louvre — the world's largest art museum — for a guided look at its most celebrated works, the Mona Lisa included.
A coach tour through the city's landmark streets and squares, a cruise along the Seine for a waterline view of Paris, and access to the Eiffel Tower's second floor for the skyline in full. An ideal introduction if this is a first visit.
Board a high-speed TGV train from Paris into the Bernese Oberland. Once checked in at your Interlaken hotel, spend the evening on Lake Thun — a boat crossing through mountain scenery to Oberhofen Castle, a 13th-century lakeside château with gardens and a museum of Bernese life.
A morning rail journey to Bern, Switzerland's capital and a UNESCO World Heritage old town, known for six kilometres of covered arcades — the "Lauben" — among Europe's longest sheltered shopping promenades. Visit the Einstein House, where the theory of relativity took shape.
A full-day excursion to Mt. Titlis at 3,020m: a train to Engelberg, then a chain of gondolas via Trübsee and Stand to the summit aboard the rotating Titlis Rotair cable car. Step inside the glacier cave, ride the Ice Flyer chairlift, and cross the Cliff Walk suspension bridge before an afternoon cruise on Lake Lucerne.
Continue by rail to Zurich and check in. From Zurich's main station, a train via Winterthur reaches Schaffhausen and the Rhine Falls, Europe's largest waterfall, before an evening back beside Lake Zurich for a cruise on Lake Limmat.
A visit to Zurich's best-known Lindt chocolate outlet, followed by a short cruise on Lake Zurich. The rest of the day is free for shopping and leisure around the city.
After breakfast, transfer from your Zurich hotel to the airport for your onward flight — or extend your stay in Switzerland independently.
