We want to see these countries and whatever sites they have to offer next year but only have a limited time of 12 days is it possible?We fly into London on a saturday after that I'm stuck on how to get about.
fly into London, take the Eurostar train to Paris after your London sojourn - if you have never been to these cities I'd spend at least 4 full days in each - then the last 4 just head for one place in Switzetrland - the Interlaken area - to me and many the absolute highlight of Switzerland - the dreamy glacier-bound soaring peaks and lush cow-dotted meadows picture you may have etched in your minds' eyes.
Trains are best to get between london and Paris ( www.eurostar.com has all the fares and schedules and if you book way in advance some sweet discounts but really you have to book as far as possible in advance as they are sold in limited numbers on each train - full fare can be $100 p.p. higher!
You can take trains from London to Paris and Rome. Since you haven't specified where in Switzerland I can't say if you should take trains or buses. From Switzerland either fly or take a train to Rome.
Is 12 days possible? Well...it's cheap car rentals in san diego possible but you won't see much, especially if the 12 days includes travel from/to home. If you have 12 days on the ground, deduct 1.5 days for getting from place to place (assuming you will visit one location in Switzerland). That's 10.5 days to visit 4 locations cheap car rentals in san diego or about 2.5 days in each place. London, Paris, and Rome deserve 4 to 5 days each for basic sightseeing.
Thanks for ur responses. It's actually 12 ground days and in Switzerland we r hoping to visit one of the mountain tops so I dont know which area is best. I know 12 days will be tough but if we gotta push it we will.
Much too much even for 12 days on the ground. I would do only 2 stops but if you want to try to fit in 3, do either London, Paris and Rome or London, Paris and someplace in Switzerland. FLy to your first stop and home from your last. Take trains cheap car rentals in san diego from London to Paris and Paris to Switzerlane. If you decide to visit London, Paris and Rome, fly from Paris to Rome.
Let me guess - are you by any chance from India? I'm not being rude - genuinely curious. Every single week we get someone from the Sub-Continent asking about a VERY similar itinerary. London/Paris/Switzerland/Italy . . . in an insanely short period of time. And EVERY single time we advise that it is tooooooo much in tooooooo little time. You will spend as much time moving from place to place as actually seeing/doing anything.
London and Paris -- good for 12 days. Or London/Rome/Paris -- very rushed but doable in 12 days. London/Switzerland - good for 12 days. Only you know which option ticks more of your 'must do' boxes. cheap car rentals in san diego But all 4 - in 12 days . . . Nope.
To get from one city to another will take 1/2 to 3/4 of a day each time. Since you want to go to 4 different places that means you will lose 2 to 2.5 of your 12 days just trekking from one place to another. So now you have 10 days at best for 4 places - so 2.5 days each.
Ascending a mountain only makes sense when the top is clear. You may easily have to spend 3 or 4 days at the foot before you get a day that's clear at the top. (We were in Interlaken 3 days - touring local towns and sites - before the top of the Jungfraujoch was not in the clouds.)
