About this trip
Twenty-two days by train across the heart of Europe, from Berlin down to Rome, with a local leader steering you between cities and plenty of free time to explore each one at your own pace.
You'll take in the energy of Berlin, the old-world beauty of Prague, and the buzz of Budapest, before slowing down for Vienna's grand architecture, Salzburg's storybook streets, and Ljubljana's castle and medieval core.
The route finishes on a high with Venice's canals, the clifftop villages of Cinque Terre, and Rome's piazzas — a long, varied journey through some of the continent's most-loved cities.
What you'll do
- Explore Berlin's neighbourhoods and history
- Wander Prague's old town
- Take in Budapest's riverside buzz
- Tour the summer palace in Vienna
- Walk Salzburg's Old Town
- See Ljubljana's medieval architecture and castle
- Travel is mainly by train, so pack light — you'll need to lift your own luggage onto racks and up stairs over cobbled streets
- Accommodation is twin-share; solo travellers are paired with someone of the same gender, and rooms or bathrooms may be small or shared
- Summer heat can pass 40°C and many hotels have no air conditioning, so plan for warm nights

What's included
- Guide: All Intrepid group trips in Europe are accompanied by one of our local European group leaders. ’Local’ in this context means a leader who is European or lives in Europe. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. Intrepid endeavours to provide the services of an experienced leader however, due to the seasonality of travel, rare situations may arise where your leader is new to a particular region or training other group leaders. Your leader takes care of logistics, will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the places visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. At Intrepid we also aim to support local guides in the individual cities or locations we travel to. If you are interested in delving deeper into the local culture at a specific site or location then your leader can recommend an optional local guide service in most of the main destinations of your trip.

- Transport: TRANSPORT IN EUROPE: Half the fun of travel is the travelling itself, that's why we like to travel the local way – whether that means mingling with commuters on a local train, watching the scenery roll by from the window of a long distance bus, arriving on a high speed train in the city centre of your next destination, or navigating each city's public transport system. In Europe, you are guaranteed to travel by genuine local public transport wherever possible, which puts you right in the centre of the action., EUROPEAN TRAINS: The primary means of transportation on this trip is by train. Train travel is a fast way to traverse long distances, allowing you to avoid traffic jams and arrive right into the city centre. Trains are comfortable and often decked out with air-conditioning, toilets, a snack bar (or vending machine) and power points. PUBLIC BUSES: This trip covers some distances by public buses. Buses in Central Europe can range from high standard coaches with reclining seats and air-conditioning to Soviet era vehicles for shorter distances. Metro, Private vehicle, Public bus, Taxi, Train
- Accommodation: OCCASIONAL ALTERNATIVE ACCOMMODATION: The style of accommodation indicated in the day-to-day itinerary is a guideline. On rare occasions, alternative arrangements may need to be made due to the lack of availability of rooms in our usual accommodation. A similar standard of accommodation will be used in these instances. CHECK-IN TIME: Throughout the trip we request that our hotels prepare rooms in time for our arrival, especially if we're arriving prior to normal check-in time. However this isn't always possible which means we won't be able to check-in immediately on arrival at some hotels. Instead, we can store our luggage and explore our new destination. PRE/POST TRIP ACCOMMODATION: If you've purchased pre-trip or post-trip accommodation (if available), you may be required to change rooms from your trip accommodation for these extra nights. FACILITIES: Your accommodation may not always have private en suite facilities or air-conditioning. European hotels generally don't provide kettles or fridges.
