Prices are as they were when this itinerary was finalised (in September 2025). We price your own trip live, to your dates.
A Swiss Travel Pass handles all travel inside Switzerland and an EU rail pass covers inter-city legs and reservation fees, so most city-to-city and day-trip trains are already included.
The London-Paris leg is by Eurostar under the Channel into Gare du Nord — book well ahead, as fares rise sharply close to travel.
The UK sits outside the Schengen Area, so this route needs both a UK visa and a Schengen visa covering France, Switzerland, Germany and Italy. Apply early.
St Peter's Basilica and the Vatican enforce a strict dress code — shoulders and knees must be covered for entry. Carry a scarf or light layer.
Jungfraujoch and the Pilatus summit are cold and snowy year-round even in early autumn. Pack warm layers, sunglasses and sturdy shoes for the high-altitude days.
