The Eiffel Tower in Paris, snow views at Jungfraujoch in Switzerland, tulips in the Netherlands, canals in Bruges and London's landmarks. West Europe is the most popular first Europe trip for Indian travellers.
West Europe Tour Overview
West Europe packs famous sights into short distances. Paris has the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Montmartre and Disneyland Paris. Switzerland has Lucerne, Interlaken, Mount Titlis and Jungfraujoch, the Top of Europe. The Netherlands has Amsterdam's canals, windmills and the Keukenhof tulip gardens in spring. Belgium adds Brussels and Bruges. The UK has London, Edinburgh and the Scottish Highlands.
A first trip is often 8 to 9 days with Paris, Switzerland and Amsterdam, or 7 days with London and Scotland. Most of these countries are in the Schengen area, but the UK has a separate visa. We plan hotels, trains, coaches and sightseeing around your dates and group.

Travel Tips for West Europe
- Apply for your visa early. Schengen and UK appointment waits can be long in spring and summer.
- Book Jungfraujoch and Titlis by weather. Views depend on clouds, so keep a flexible day and check live webcams.
- Book museum tickets ahead. The Louvre, Eiffel Tower summit and Anne Frank House sell out. Choose timed slots.
- Mind pickpockets. Tourist areas in Paris and Amsterdam attract thieves. Use a zipped bag.
- Pack for changing weather. Carry a rain jacket and layers, even in summer.
- Tell us your food needs. Vegetarian and Indian restaurants are easy to find in Paris, Zurich and London.
This is a likely schedule. The tour manager may adjust it for weather, flight timings or local rules.
