Exclusions

Visa & entry

Indian passport holders need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa for this trip; it covers the Netherlands, France, Switzerland and Italy. Apply through VFS Global up to 6 months and at least 3–4 weeks before travel; summer appointments fill early. The visa fee is €90 for adults and €45 for children aged 6–11 (children under 6 are free), plus the VFS service charge. You will need confirmed flights and hotels, travel insurance with at least €30,000 medical cover, recent bank statements and income tax returns. Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months after you leave the Schengen area, have two blank pages and be less than 10 years old. Since April 2026 the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) is fully in use at all Schengen borders: on your first entry, fingerprints and a face photo are taken at passport control instead of a stamp (children under 12 give only a photo). ETIAS, the new online travel permit, is only for visa-free nationalities, so it does not apply to Indian visitors with a Schengen visa; its launch has in any case moved to 2027.

Good to know

Questions travellers ask

Which embassy do we apply to for the Schengen visa?

You apply to the country where you spend the most nights. On this trip Paris, Interlaken and Rome have 3 nights each, so we will tell you which embassy to use based on your final hotel plan and arrival point. One Schengen visa covers all four countries.

Are flights included?

No. The price covers the land package. International flights (into Amsterdam, out of Rome), the Zurich–Rome flight and the Amsterdam–Paris and Paris–Interlaken trains are quoted separately. We can book them together and give you one combined quote.

Will we get Indian vegetarian food?

Hotel breakfasts have bread, cereals, fruit, cheese and eggs. Dinners can be arranged at Indian restaurants with vegetarian dishes. Jain food is possible with advance notice.

Is this tour suitable for senior citizens?

Yes, for seniors who can walk 2–3 hours at a time with breaks. There are train changes with luggage, so we suggest one medium suitcase per person. The Jungfraujoch altitude can affect people with heart or breathing conditions.

How much money should we carry?

Plan for about €30–40 per person per day for lunches, water and snacks, plus any optional tours. Carry a forex card in euros and some Swiss francs. Under Indian rules, you can carry foreign currency notes worth up to USD 3,000; the rest should be on a forex card.
