Hello guys, We are a couple & are traveling to Europe for 3 weeks. We prefer traveling a lot instead of staying in 1 place for a long time. The 1 country where we aren't sure of our itinerary is Switzerland & were hoping if people could give us feedback. This is our Switzerland itinerary. Should we make any changes, go to different cities instead of these? Thank you in advance! Day 1 Morning Paris to Inter Laken Euro rail (5 hours) Visit Inter Laken Evening Inter Laken to Lauterbrunnen Euro rail (30 min) Day 2 Visit Lauterbrunnen (Jungfraujoch) Day 3 Morning Lauterbrunne to Engelberg Euro rail (3 hours) Visit Mt. Titlis Day 4 Morning Engelberg to Lucerne Euro rail Visit Lucerne
Overnight Lucerna to Rome Euro rail

Neetu day 4. Which Overnight Lucerna to Rome Euro rail do you have in mind? All overnight connections from Luzern to Roma involve at least 3 and often more changes of train in the middle of the night, and there are no direct trains. It would good for you to have a clearer understanding of the infrastructure of your trip. There is no "Euro rail". Your train will be operated by whichever company owns the train. From Paris to Interlaken that will be a TGV train operated by the French train company SNCF. Interlaken is one word. The station for the mountains is Interlaken Ost which is after Interlaken West. Tieing down your days so tightly risks you running into bad weather in the mountains. Before spending all the money on the trip up the Jungfrau it would be wise to be sure the weather will cooperate. What do you want to see in Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen?

There are only two things about this, and I will stick to the Berner Oberland because I have not been to Titlas or Lucerne. First, I'd spend maybe an hour in Interlaken. Have a meal, buy some chocolate. Then on, but up to Wengen (since you'll be visiting the Junfrau the next day) not Lauterbrunnen. That's just a small tweak. The main thing I notice is this. You are going to a lot of trouble and expense to get there and if you encounter bad weather on your second day you'll have seen very little. I'd at least think about this and have a contingency plan.
