Zürich, Switzerland's largest city, is a refined metropolis where medieval charm meets contemporary sophistication.

From here, SBB trains fan out across the country with clockwork precision—reaching Bern in under an hour, Lucerne in 45 minutes, and connecting to scenic routes like the Glacier Express and Bernina Express.

Before you book: stations, trains and food
How a rail pass fits this trip
This outline has 5 days with travel or an excursion: day 1, day 2, day 3, day 4, day 5. That is a planning count, not a confirmed number of pass days. Optional excursions, uncovered transport and night-train departure times can change it.
A pass travel day can cover several participating trains. Compare the pass plus reservation fees with individual tickets for the dates you actually travel.
When to compare a Global Pass
A multi-country route is a useful starting point for comparing an Interrail or Eurail Global Pass. Check participating operators and your country of residence; Interrail’s home-country use is limited to an outbound and an inbound journey.
When individual tickets can help
Price the shorter hops separately. A cheap ticket can let you save a flexible pass day for a longer journey. Compare Sam’s tickets with Trainline and Omio, including their fees and refund conditions.

Your route. Sam handles the details.
Conductor Sam is an agent for European rail. You name the places you want to see; it works out the legs, the changes and the awkward gaps, then prices the tickets against a pass.
- We have been there
- 1 of the 5 destination postcards use photographs taken by our own co-founder, not bought from a stock library.
- Written from a corpus we curate
- The notes on each stop come from a rail knowledge base we research and maintain ourselves, so Sam answers from it rather than searching the web for you.
Save this route, choose your dates and let Sam help with trains, reservations and the right pass.
