Tour from italy to london

Hi,
Glad to help, but you need to give more information about your goals and do some more research of your own to get better advice.
I'll start giving you a few pointers:
- You've listed... basically the most expensive European cities. In particular, steer well clear of Switzerland if you're on a budget.
- Zürich is of limited interest to the average traveller
- in 9 days, which I assume to be 8 nights, you see two major cities, maybe three at a stretch. Travel between distant places basically "kills" most of the day.

So tell us a bit more: what really brings you to Europe? Art, landscapes, parties, architecture, food? What do you dream of seeing?

Hi,
Thank you very much for taking out time for me. I wish to see europe to mainly to see the landscapes, architecture and also to see different people and their lifestyle. The Alps is one of the main reason I am coming for this trip so please dont ask me to skip switzerland.

This is my first trip so I only plan to walk around with my friends and enjoy the weather and landscapes. I dont want to pay and enter monuments, go for costly rides or parties etc. This trip is mainly aimed to get a feel of everything.

Typical day will be Like: stay in a hostel, get up have breakfast, see those places of which you have only read and heard about. Walk around , take pictures etc. Eat..See some other places in the city..Return to hostel/ set out for next city,sleep in train/ hostel...repeat..

And then some other day hopefully, I will select one or two places, visit them and enjoy them thoroughly.

Just do Switzerland and see the others on another trip. Research cities in Switzerland and things to see and do.

Get some ideas about Switzerland in the At a Glance section at https://www.ricksteves.com/europe/switzerland, as well as drilling down for more about an Alpine region such as the Berner Oberland. The big city of Zurich isn't where it's at for most first-time visitors.

Trains serve all of your destinations, although budget flights are often both cheaper and faster for long rides between major cities. Paris-London doesn't qualify as a "long" ride at 2.5 hours by Eurostar train, which is faster than the local transport and check-in procedures at airports. Trains to and from Paris are much cheaper when booked in advance. So are Italian trains, but they're less expensive to begin with. Plan the destinations first, and think about train tickets or rail pass when your plan is more certain.

Since Switzerland is your priority, then stay in Switzerland. Your trip is too short to hit all the places you want to see, and if you're on a budget requiring hostels, the transportation costs alone would likely put you way over budget. Plus, you would lose at least 1 1/2 days of your trip just changing locations. Get a couple of guidebooks and read through this site for ideas of what to see while you're there.

Balso has given you a very good start, and I'll agree with it all.

Here's the deal about travel? If we each gave you a budget, told you where to go, where to stay, where to eat, how to get around and what to see, it would not be your trip; it would be our trip based on our own preferences and budgets. We have no idea how old you are, what sort of budget you're working with, what sorts of interests you have, and if your 9 days include travel from home (where is home?) and back again.

A big part of the art of independent travel is learning how to do it. It takes time with guidebooks and websites, Don't want to do that sort of research? Then an organized tour, with all your sightseeing, accommodations and transport arranged for you, might be a good choice for your first time abroad. It's your decision, and neither choice is wrong as long as it works for you.

So, if you want to plan this trip on your own, go get yourself some guidebooks for places you think want to go to and start reading about them. Search the forums here for answers to similar questions you might have (e.g. inexpensive hotels in Paris) and ask questions you can't find answers for. Make notes about the attractions you want to see, their entry fees, and details regarding tickets: do they need to be purchased in advance? Ask if you need to know the best websites for doing that.

I will agree that you have too many locations for 9 days. You will spend too much time and money just getting from one to another. Personally, I'd choose just two - Paris and London - because you can travel easily between them by train, and because London, while not an inexpensive city, has a lot of very good free museums so is a bargain in that respect. Zurich is not a "budget" city by any means, doesn't seem to have a lot of fans amongst forum posters, and I'd save Venice for a future trip that includes more of Italy. Besides, learning how to navigate just two big European cities and their differences in local transport, languages and currency is probably plenty for your first time out.

Editing to add: you provided some more detail while I was typing the post above but I'm going to leave it as is for content that might be useful. You mention that you, "only plan to walk around with my friends"? How many friends are going and what do THEY want to do and see on this trip? Sounds like the plan may not totally be up to you?

To add nuance to my Switzerland comment, indeed you can do it on a relative budget if you stay in hostels where you can cook some meals (supermarket prices are OK) and don't try to travel all around the country (trains are expensive).
But if you want to see "the Alps", it doesn't have to be Switzerland. France, Italy, Austria, Germany all have parts of the Alps, dramatic parts even.
I see two Switzerland-free "Alps-ey" options that could be interesting for you and quite possibly cheaper:

1. Venice, the Dolomites (an incredible region of the Alps), and one Italian Lake (Como, for instance)
2. Paris, Annecy (has a beautiful Alpine lake), Chamonix (next to Mont Blanc, highest summit in the Alps)

Wow Guys..I am really grateful tonall of you.
I have read all of tour comments and now i have a better understanding. I will reduce some places as you have said. Let me plan.
Thanks Guyz..

I would just pick two of those cities for 9 days. Where are you flying from? That can make a big difference in price. For example, here in Atlanta I have nonstops to all of those cities, but other cities may not. I would do some searching for "open-jaw" or "multi-city" tickets to see which combinations are the easiest and cheapest. Fly into one city and out of the other - don't do a round-trip where you have to backtrack to the first city.

If this if your first trip to Europe, I would personally start in London - it's a good way to ease into Europe, as there's no language barrier, there's plentiful transportation and hostels, and it's just an amazing city. Then I would fly to either Zurich or Geneva, depending on which is cheaper. (Both are equidistant to the Berner Oberland Alpine region.) Take the train from the airport to Murren. I'd stay 5 nights London, 3 nights Murren. (Remember you "lose" the 9th "night" when you fly overnight from the US.)

As others have said, Zurich is not what you think of as "Switzerland" as it is not Alp-ish at all. It's just a big city. Definitely go up into the Berner Oberland where Rick Steves recommends; either Murren, Wengen, or Lauterbrunnen. Also if you have not read Rick's books, you need to check them out from the library - they are soooooooo helpful!!
