About this package
Ten days across five of Europe's defining capitals — Amsterdam's canals, Paris's boulevards, Switzerland's alpine drama via Lucerne, Rome's ancient ruins, and a finish among Venice's floating palaces. This is the itinerary for first-time Europe travellers who want maximum breadth without sacrificing time in any single city. Add a Van Gogh Museum morning in Amsterdam, a Latin Quarter afternoon in Paris, and a Venetian gondola ride to close the loop, and ten days span five defining capitals.
