Hi there,
My partner and I are planning a a dream trip to Europe and I was hoping to get some guidance on transportation and itinerary planning. We have 3 weeks booked off and have a round trip flight to and from Paris. Our plan is to explore northern Italy and Switzerland as well a a few (3-4 days) in Paris to visit friends. We arrive in Paris June 1ST and leave June 21st.
So far we have planned to attend the following areas:
Paris( 3 days) + 1 day before departure
Cinque Terre 4 days
Florence 2 days
Venice 3 days
Lake Garda 2 days
We haven’t quite planned how to spend 4-5 days in Switzerland yet.
I was hoping to end the trip with Switzerland and try to head to Cinque Terre after Paris to avoid crowds.
I’m having some issues with building an itinerary that makes sense and is efficient via rail travel.
Any advice would be helpful. Some specific questions:
-how to get from Paris to Italy ?
-is a Eurail pass worth it?
-should I go from Paris to Switzerland first?
Thank you
