Itinerary

About the trip

This carefully designed itinerary combines Italy’s cultural richness with Switzerland’s breathtaking alpine landscapes, all linked by some of Europe’s most iconic and scenic train journeys. Your journey begins in Rome, where ancient history, grand piazzas and world-famous landmarks set the tone. From the Eternal City, you travel by high-speed train to Florence, the heart of the Renaissance, discovering its art-filled squares, historic monuments and timeless elegance. The rail experience continues to Venice, where canals, gondolas and the unique lagoon atmosphere create unforgettable moments, before another smooth train journey takes you to Milan, a vibrant hub of fashion, architecture and culture. From Milan, a regional train leads you to the shores of Lake Como, allowing you to enjoy tranquil lakeside towns and alpine backdrops before returning to the city. The adventure then transitions into the high Alps as you travel to Tirano and board the legendary Bernina Express. This UNESCO World Heritage railway carries you through dramatic mountain scenery to the glamorous resort town of St. Moritz. The journey reaches its pinnacle aboard the Glacier Express, crossing spectacular bridges and mountain passes en route to Zermatt, beneath the iconic Matterhorn. After ascending to Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, the experience concludes with a scenic train ride to Zurich, perfectly rounding off a seamless rail journey through Europe’s most diverse landscapes!

day 1Rome Arrival

Welcome to Italy! Upon arrival at Rome Fiumicino International Airport, you will met our representatives and transferred to the hotel. Enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure, allowing time for an introductory exploration of the Eternal City. You may explore Rome independently and discover its most renowned landmarks, including Piazza Navona, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and the Spanish Steps. In the case of an early arrival in Rome, a guided visit to the Vatican Museums is highly recommended, where you can admire Michelangelo’s world-famous Sistine Chapel along with other masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance. You may also choose from a selection of optional experiences, such as a cooking class to learn the art of preparing traditional Italian pizza, pasta, or gelato. For dinner, we suggest dining at a traditional Roman restaurant to enjoy authentic local cuisine.
