Europe by Train: Milan to Prague via Zurich, Munich & Vienna

Eleven days across five cities, travelling by train from Milan through Zurich and Munich to Vienna and finishing in Prague. It's a straightforward way to see a real cross-section of Central Europe without the hassle of flights or driving.

Each city gets its own character — Milan's style, Zurich's mountain backdrop, Munich's Bavarian feel, Vienna's imperial grandeur, and Prague's old-town streets. You settle into 3-star hotels with breakfast included and let the rail network do the work between stops.

The days you're guided, you'll join a different local guide and group each time, since these day tours are run separately rather than by one team following you the whole way. It suits people who like meeting new faces as they go rather than sticking with the same crew throughout.
