Portugal, Spain, France & Switzerland

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Portugal, Spain, France, and Switzerland together form one of Europe's most diverse and rewarding travel corridors, stretching from the Atlantic coast to the heart of the Alps. Travellers move between sun-drenched Iberian cities like Lisbon, Madrid, and Barcelona, the wine regions and châteaux of the French countryside, and the dramatic mountain landscapes of the Swiss Alps. The route spans world-class cuisine, historic architecture, vibrant nightlife, alpine hiking, and skiing — often all within a single trip. The combination of Western European culture, efficient rail connections, and wildly varied scenery makes this multi-country stretch a favourite for both independent explorers and group travellers.

Lisbon to Zurich: Self-Launched 10-Day Iberia & Alps Rail Adventure

A self-launched version of Europamundo's 10-day coach tour from Lisbon to Zurich, rebuilt for independent travellers using trains, buses and local day tours instead of a private coach. You'll hit the same headline stops — Lisbon, Cáceres, Madrid, Zaragoza, Barcelona, Girona, Arles, the Swiss Riviera and the Alps — but at a backpacker pace with hostel/guesthouse beds, self-bookable walking tours and rail travel. Note the original's Day 1 and Day 10 are essentially arrival/departure days, so you get 8 full days of sightseeing. Costs are approximate per person, based on shoulder-season budget rates, excluding flights.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Portugal, Spain, France & Switzerland yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
