Prices are as they were when this itinerary was finalised (in July 2026). We price your own trip live, to your dates.
Indian passport holders need one Schengen visa for the whole trip; apply 6+ weeks ahead as Delhi appointment slots for July fill by spring.
The single daily direct TGV Paris to Barcelona sells out in July, and advance Eurostar and AVE fares are far cheaper booked ~4-6 weeks out.
Every land transfer is one direct high-speed train; Amsterdam-Barcelona direct rail fails the sensible-time rule, so routing via Paris (already on the itinerary) is deliberate.
Amsterdam charges 12.5% of the room rate, Paris ~5 EUR per person per night and Barcelona 4-7 EUR; Madrid has no tourist tax. These are folded into the buffer here.
A single EU eSIM covers the Netherlands, France and Spain on one plan; buy before departure for arrival-day data.

An open-jaw grand tour from ancient Rome to Amsterdam's canals, taking in island Venice, Murano and Burano, and Paris's icons. A single short Venice-Paris hop saves a wasted travel day; everything else rides Frecciarossa and Eurostar high-speed rail.
