Amsterdam to Swiss Tour Package

The route from Amsterdam to Switzerland takes you through the heart of Europe, from the flat, canal-laced streets of the Netherlands through the rolling hills and medieval towns of Germany and into the dramatic Alpine landscapes of Switzerland.

Over 7 days, you experience two of the continent's most distinct and beautiful countries, connected by some of the most scenic driving in Europe.

Your trip begins in Amsterdam, where you spend two days exploring this remarkably compact and walkable city.

A canal cruise through the UNESCO-listed 17th-century canal ring gives you a perspective on the city's history and architecture that you cannot get from the streets.

Visit the Van Gogh Museum, home to the world's largest collection of his paintings, and the Rijksmuseum, where Rembrandt's Night Watch hangs in all its glory. The Jordaan neighbourhood, with its independent galleries, vintage shops, and canal-side cafes, is the perfect place to spend an evening.

On day three, you travel south through Germany, stopping in Cologne to see the magnificent Cologne Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece that took over 600 years to complete.

The drive through the Rhine Valley is spectacular, with castles perched on hilltops, vineyards cascading down slopes to the river, and charming half-timbered villages appearing around every bend. You spend the night in a town along the Rhine before continuing south into Switzerland the next morning.

Arriving in Switzerland feels like stepping into a postcard. The Swiss Alps rise around you, their peaks dusted with snow even in summer, and the air takes on a crisp, clean quality that makes you feel more alive.

You will base yourselves in Lucerne, a beautifully preserved medieval city on the shores of Lake Lucerne, with its famous Chapel Bridge, the oldest covered wooden bridge in Europe, and the dramatic mountain backdrop that has made it one of the most photographed cities on the continent.

The centrepiece of the Swiss portion is the journey to Jungfraujoch, the highest railway station in Europe at 3,454 metres.

The cogwheel train climbs through tunnels blasted into the rock of the Eiger and Monch mountains, emerging at the Top of Europe where you step out onto a glacier with views stretching to the horizon in every direction.

The experience of standing at that altitude, surrounded by nothing but ice and sky, is one that most travellers describe as genuinely life-changing.

You will also take a boat cruise on Lake Lucerne, visit the lakeside town of Interlaken nestled between two Alpine lakes, and ride the famous Glacier Express if time permits.

The Swiss landscape is so consistently stunning that even the train journeys between destinations become highlights, with the windows framing views that look almost too perfect to be real.

This package includes return flights from major Indian cities, accommodation in centrally located hotels, daily breakfast, all intercity transfers including scenic trains, and guided sightseeing.

The one-way route from Amsterdam to Switzerland means you see the best of northern and central Europe without backtracking, and the mix of city culture and Alpine nature gives you a richly varied experience.

The contrast between Amsterdam and Switzerland is part of what makes this trip so special. Amsterdam is flat, watery, and urban; Switzerland is mountainous, green, and wild.

Yet both share a commitment to quality, sustainability, and beauty that makes them two of the most livable and lovable countries in Europe. Travelling between them gives you a sense of how varied and surprising Europe can be, even within a single trip.

Holiday Mitra manages all the logistics of this cross-European journey, from the flights to the hotels to the train bookings and attraction tickets.

Our team provides detailed guides for each destination, including restaurant recommendations, walking routes, and tips for making the most of your time, so you can focus on the experience rather than the planning.
