France, Switzerland and Italy are some of the most iconic European countries to visit, with activities ranging from urban sightseeing to hiking through lush wilderness. Paris, the capital of France, has numerous places to visit. From the Louvre Museum to Napoleon's Tomb to the Eiffel Tower, there is always something to do or see. Travelers begin their trip in Paris and will get to spend their first night exploring the City of Love. During their time in Paris, travelers will have their lunch provided during an Eiffel Tower Picnic and will have the chance to visit museums and discover the city for themselves. Travelers will then travel by train to Interlaken, Switzerland. The town of Interlaken is located on a valley floor, surrounded by the Swiss Alp, and is home to only 23,000 residents. Interlaken is perfect for outdoorsy travelers with optional activities such as paragliding, canoeing and hiking. Travelers can also enjoy the chance to visit a Swiss chocolate-making workshop. All roads really do lead to Rome as travelers will close out the trip by traveling by train via Millan to the Eternal City, Italy. While there, travelers will have the chance to see their choice of historical sights such as the Colosseum, the historical amphitheater home of fighters and gladiators. Other classical sights include the Vatican, Pantheon, Roman Forum, Spanish Steps, and the Trevi Fountain. From Paris to Rome, travelers can encounter museums, European nature, and famous historical sights.
