Europe Grand Tour: Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and Berlin by train
Europe Grand Tour: Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and Berlin by train
The trip in a nutshell
We’re kicking off this epic European tour in style—starting from Paris, the city of love, lights, and way too many croissants (not that we’re complaining). After soaking in the magic of the Eiffel Tower, getting lost in Montmartre, and perfecting our "je ne sais quoi" attitude on a guided tour, we’re hopping on a train—because we like our travels to be as scenic as possible!
Next stop: Brussels! Here, it’s all about the good stuff - Belgian beer and sweet delights - where we’ll taste our way through centuries of brewing tradition. From hidden gems to big names, we’ll sip, savor, and even get a little competitive in a beer game (because what’s a tasting without some fun?). And to wrap it up, we’ll discover the secrets of Belgian brewing in one of the city's renowned breweries - because history tastes even better in a pint glass.
From Brussels, we’ll take a quick detour to Bruges, a fairy-tale town where the canals are charming, the chocolate is divine, and the architecture will have you questioning if you’ve just stepped into a medieval dream. Then it’s back on the rails to Amsterdam—where bikes outnumber people, canals wind through the city like veins, and art, history, and nightlife blend seamlessly.
Finally, we’ll roll into Berlin—the city where history meets hipster, and every corner has a story to tell. With its street art, buzzing neighborhoods, and deep past, Berlin will be the perfect grand finale. From the Berlin Wall to buzzing beer gardens, we’ll soak up every last moment before we say, “Auf Wiedersehen” to an unforgettable adventure.

Itinerary
Welcome to Europe!
Our adventure begins in Paris!
Round trip flights are not included in the package, so you can choose from where and when you want to fly, giving you maximum freedom of choice.
Check-in at our hotel in Paris, followed by a welcome meeting. Renowned for love, fashion, and art, Paris—the City of Light—is a city that needs no introduction. Its timeless beauty enchants and captivates all who visit. As we spend our first night together in this magnificent city, let's get ready to fully experience the vibrant Parisian nightlife!
Included: overnight stay
Not included: transfer from the airport, meals and drinks
Paris from dawn to dusk
Immerse yourself in the magic of Paris
Today we’ll dive straight into the heart of Paris with a guided tour that brings the city’s magic to life. We’ll start at the legendary Notre-Dame Cathedral, soaking in its stunning Gothic architecture before wandering through the charming Île de la Cité. From the picturesque Place Dauphine to the dazzling stained glass of Sainte-Chapelle, every step will feel like a scene from a movie. Next, we’ll admire the iconic Louvre from the outside (no, we won’t attempt to steal the Mona Lisa) and stroll through the elegant Palais Royal gardens. Crossing the romantic Pont des Arts, we’ll take in the Seine’s breathtaking views before arriving at Place de la Concorde, where history and grandeur collide. And of course, no Parisian adventure is complete without a stop at the Eiffel Tower—snap a few photos or, if you're up for it, make the climb!
After getting our morning dose of history, the afternoon is ours to enjoy. We can glide down the Seine on a boat cruise, giving our feet a well-deserved break while soaking in the city from a different angle. Or, if we’re feeling energetic, we can climb up to Montmartre, visiting the stunning Sacré-Coeur and earning our next pastry with a bit of stair-climbing cardio. As the sun sets, Paris turns on its charm. An apéritif in the Marais? A cozy bistro dinner in Saint-Germain-des-Prés? Or maybe a crêpe feast in Montparnasse? The choice is ours. And if we’re not ready to call it a night, we can catch a show at the Moulin Rouge, sip cocktails at a rooftop bar, or dance until dawn in Pigalle’s vibrant clubs. One thing’s for sure—Paris never sleeps, and neither will we!
Included: overnight stay, breakfast and walking tour of Paris with private tour guide
Money Pot: entry fees, public transportation, and optional activities
Not included: meals and drinks
From Paris to Brussels: croissants, chocolate and Belgian brews
Welcome to Belgium!
We kick off the morning with a classic Parisian send-off—one last croissant and coffee before boarding our train to Belgium. Two hours later, we roll into Brussels, ready to swap “bonjour” for “bonjour” (same word, different vibe) and dive into the heart of this beer-loving city. After dropping off our bags, we have time to explore a bit. Maybe we wander through the Grand Place, marveling at its over-the-top architecture, or grab a plate of golden, crispy fries—because let’s be real, Belgians do fries right! But the real adventure starts in the afternoon when we meet up with a local beer expert for a deep dive into Belgium’s brewing magic.
But first: Chocolate. Because this is Belgium, and pairing beer with artisanal pralines is not just a suggestion—it’s a lifestyle. After indulging in some rich, melt-in-your-mouth treats, we move on to the main event: beer. We’ll visit hidden local bars, sip some of Belgium’s finest brews, and uncover the secrets behind their world-famous brewing techniques. From centuries-old Trappist ales to bold new craft creations, every stop is a new discovery (and yes, we’ll taste-test our way through). The grand finale? With a fresh beer in hand and a head full of fun facts (and maybe just a little buzz), we’ll wrap up the tour in central Brussels, perfectly positioned for whatever the night has in store. Cheers to a day well lived!
Included: overnight stay, breakfast, train to Brussels and walking tour of Brussels with private guide and beer tastings
Money Pot: entry fees, public transportation, and optional activities
Not included: meals and drinks
Bruges in a day: fairytales, canals, and waffles
Discovering Bruges, the so-called “Venice of the North”
Rise and shine, because today we’re trading the hum of Brussels for the charm of Bruges! A quick train ride whisks us away to a city that looks like it’s straight out of a storybook—think cobblestone streets, dreamy canals, and architecture that’ll have your camera working overtime.
Once we step off the train, Bruges is ours to explore. We’ll wander through the Markt, the city’s main square, where medieval buildings tower over lively cafés. Fancy a panoramic view? Climbing the Belfry’s 366 steps is totally worth the leg workout. From there, we’ll stroll along the canals and maybe even hop on a boat to see why Bruges is called the “Venice of the North.”
And of course, no day in Belgium is complete without indulging in the good stuff: waffles, frites, and chocolate (all in the name of culture, obviously). We’ll pop into artisan chocolatiers, sip on rich hot cocoa, and if the mood strikes, why not end the day with another Belgian beer? As the sun starts to set, we’ll hop back on the train to Brussels, tired but happy, with our stomachs full and our camera rolls even fuller. One perfect day in Bruges, checked off the bucket list!
Included: overnight stay and breakfast
Money Pot: round trip train to Bruges, entry fees and optional activities
Not included: meals and drinks
Next stop: Amsterdam!
Welcome to Netherlands
This morning, we hop on the train and leave Belgium behind as we speed toward Amsterdam. Two hours of scenic views, chill vibes, and just enough time to decide whether we should explore the city on two feet or two wheels. By late morning, we roll into the Dutch capital, ready to take on the day. Amsterdam welcomes us with its dreamy canals, charming houseboats, and an effortlessly cool atmosphere. We can dive right in by strolling through the quirky streets of Jordaan, grabbing a fresh stroopwafel (because sugar = energy), or kicking back in a cozy café while people-watching like a local.
For those who want to see the city from a different angle, a boat tour is the way to go—floating through the canals as we soak in the sights, from historic bridges to hidden courtyards. Not a fan of boats? No problem. Amsterdam’s best kept secrets are found by walking (or, for the fearless, by biking). As evening falls, the city starts to glow. Whether we’re unwinding with drinks by the water, checking out a rooftop bar, or diving into Amsterdam’s legendary nightlife, one thing’s certain: this city knows how to keep the adventure going.
Included: overnight stay, breakfast and train to Amsterdam
Money Pot: public transportation, entry fees and optional activities
Not included: meals and drinks
Lost in Amsterdam
A full day to explore Amsterdam: let’s make it count!
Amsterdam is our playground today, and we have zero obligations—just endless possibilities. Whether we want to immerse ourselves in culture, cruise the canals, or just vibe with the city’s laid-back energy, the choice is totally ours. Let’s start slow with a legendary Dutch brunch. Pancakes as big as our heads? Yes, please. A cozy canal-side café with fresh stroopwafels? Even better. Once we’re fueled up, we do as the locals do—hop on bikes and weave through the city like pros (or at least try to without crashing into each other).
Afternoon and nightlife
Fancy some vintage shopping? The Nine Streets district is packed with secondhand gems, quirky boutiques, and cafés that look straight out of Pinterest. More into art? The Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum are must-sees, while the MOCO Museum serves up modern, street-art-inspired coolness. History buffs can visit the Anne Frank House—but fair warning, tickets sell out fast!
Come sunset, we dive into Amsterdam’s buzzing food scene—Indonesian rijsttafel, Dutch fries drowned in mayo, or a trendy food hall with literally everything? Decisions, decisions. And then? Rooftop cocktails, cozy speakeasies, or a wild night in Leidseplein or the Red Light District (for the views, of course). If we’re up for something different, a silent disco boat or a secret underground club might just be the move.
No matter how we spend the day, one thing’s for sure—Amsterdam always delivers. So, are we biking, cruising, or just getting lost in the city’s magic? Let’s go!
Included: overnight stay and breakfast
Money Pot: public transportation, entry fees and optional activities
Not included: meals and drinks
Berlin calling
Welcome to Germany
Rise and shine, because today we’re swapping the canals of Amsterdam for the raw, electric energy of Berlin! Our day kicks off with a scenic six-hour train ride—prime time to catch up on sleep, listen to that perfectly curated Eurotrip playlist, or debate which German dish you’ll be trying first (schnitzel? Currywurst? Both?).
We roll into Berlin in the early afternoon and from here, it’s “choose your own adventure”: feeling ambitious? Jump into an optional three-hour walking tour and get your history fix with tales of the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, and Brandenburg Gate. Bonus points if you find the best photo op with an Ampelmännchen (those quirky little traffic light men). Prefer to wander at your own pace? Berlin’s got you covered. Grab a döner kebab, explore the artsy streets of Kreuzberg, or just soak in the city’s edgy, creative vibes. One thing’s for sure: by the time the sun sets, you’ll be buzzing with Berlin energy—and probably already plotting your first night out in one of Europe’s most legendary nightlife capitals. Prost!
Included: overnight stay, breakfast and train from Amsterdam to Berlin
Money Pot: public transportation, entry fees and optional activities
Not included: meals and drinks
The grand finale: Berlin
One last day to shop, chill & soak it all in
Well, folks, we made it. After days of exploring, adventuring, and probably developing a deep emotional bond with our backpacks, we’ve arrived at the final day of our European escapade. But don’t worry—this isn’t goodbye just yet. Today is all about taking it easy (we deserve it). Whether you want to hit the stores for some last-minute souvenirs (yes, your mom does want a magnet) or just sip a cappuccino at a sidewalk café while feeling effortlessly European, the choice is yours.
Want to squeeze in one last adventure? Go for it! There are plenty of optional activities if you’re not ready to slow down just yet. But if all you want is to wander, shop, and reminisce about that time you almost missed the train, we support that too. So, let’s make the most of this day. One last espresso, one last toast, and one last chance to pretend we’re locals before reality calls. We’ll be back, Europe. Just you wait.
Included: overnight stay and breakfast
Money Pot: public transportation, entry fees and optional activities
Not included: meals and drinks

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions
Round-trip flights are not included in any of our trips because we like to give you autonomy and flexibility: you can choose the airline you want to fly with, the departure airport that suits you best, and how many and which stops you want to make.
Since flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: if possible, you can arrive at your destination a few days earlier or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!
This is the question of all questions, and here’s the answer, broken down into points!
The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator.
It is used to streamline paymentsfor extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
It is typically collected on the first day of the trip in local currency, although at times, the Travel Coordinator may ask for it to be paid before departure.
You’ll find the amount of the money pot on the website under the section ‘What’s included in the money pot’ – how do you get there? Look for ‘What’s included’, scroll down to ‘Money pot? Click here’, and you’ll find the details.
The amount varies depending on the destination chosen.
It is used exclusively for group expenses that ALL participants decide to take part in.
It is estimated based on the experiences of other groups but can vary depending on the needs of the group itself. As such, the Travel Coordinator may need to increase the amount during the trip.
If not all of the money pot is used, the difference will be returned to all participants at the end of the trip in equal amounts.
The Money Pot also covers the Travel Coordinator’s share of the activities included in the money pot, except for those activities that are free for the Travel Coordinator.
If you pay in advance part of the money pot before the trip for certain non-refundable optional activities, unfortunately, the amount cannot be refunded in case of trip cancellation.
We offer several payment methods to fit every need:
1. Credit or prepaid card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express);
2. Instalment payment with Scalapay up to €4,999 (only available with the “Full trip payment” option – not available with the “Deposit and balance” option; pay in 3 instalments up to €1,200 or in 4 instalments over €1,200);
3. PayPal (for selected destinations);
4. Revolut Pay to pay even faster straight from your Revolut account;
5. Welfare credit – BEFORE BOOKING, reach out to us at [email protected].
If you choose the deposit and balance option, you’ll also be able to pay the balance via bank transfer from your Personal Area.
Anyone who books a WeRoad trip has the option to cancel or modify the trip – including both the dates and the destination – free of charge up to 31 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you will receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price. (Deposits will be refunded in the form of a gift card valid for 365 days from issue date.) If you make a change, a price adjustment will be applied to the new trip chosen – meaning, if the new trip is cheaper, we will refund the difference; if it’s more expensive, you will need to pay the difference.
If you’ve purchased the Flexible Cancellation Option (which you can add in the first step of the booking process), you can request a cancellation or trip change until 8 days before departure. In case of cancellation, you’ll receive a 100% refund of the WeRoad trip price, minus the cost of the Flexible Cancellation option. Deposits will be refunded in the form of a gift card valid for 365 days from issue date.
How to request a cancellation or change to your trip? Send us an email at [email protected] or a WhatsApp on +447716573700. Please share the booking reference for the trip you want to cancel or change, and, in case of a change, the new trip you would like to join.
In general, we always choose local accommodations, avoiding large hotel chains, because we love to experience the culture of the place and, whenever possible, contribute to the local economy. Typically, our accommodations are hotels, apartments, guesthouses, and hostels run by local entrepreneurs, with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.
For our Collection trips, which are our premium category, the accommodations are always 4 or 5-star or carefully selected boutique hotels.
The list of accommodations for your trip will be shared with you by your Travel Coordinator between 5 and 3 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!
If you're wondering why WeRoad trips have a money pot, we’re assuming you already know what it is. If not, or if you have any doubts, we invite you to read all the information here!
Let’s quickly recap: The Money Pot is a common fund collected in local currency from all tour participants and managed by your Travel Coordinator. It’s used to speed up payments for extra activities, goods and services that the whole group decides to do and to guarantee flexibility in choosing activities and excursions at the destination in line with the mood of the group.
But let’s get to the point: why the money pot? First of all: it gives us a lot of flexibility. In all WeRoad trips you will have a bunch of Must See/Must Do activities already included - these are experiences, places or activities that simply cannot be missed! Any extra activities is decided by the group, why? Because each group is unique and may have particular wants or desires and the Money Pot allows each group to customise their trip to make it perfect for their requirements!
It also helps us speed up payments – imagine being in the subway in New York City, one by one purchasing the ticket...a nightmare right? Thanks to the Money Pot, the Travel Coordinator can simply purchase the tickets for everyone making the entire processes smoother! Any leftover money will be returned at the end of the trip and split equally amongst all participants.
In some destinations, buying goods or services on site is more economical as you are able to negotiate the price - places like Morocco, or South East Asia, bargaining is part of the culture. As such, our Travel Coordinators will be able to secure the best deal for all participants.
The amount of the money pot is specified in each trip – look for this button
which will take you to a detailed breakdown for each trip, like this:
Even if we don't know the flights of all WeRoaders, there are several ways to find out which flights your travel companions have purchased.
1. Each WeRoader has the ability to communicate their flight details after booking within their personal area so that other travel companions can see the details anonymously. Enter your booking and you will find this section:
[Screenshot]
2. If you want to find out before booking, instead, you can contact us and we will support you in your search or you can ask your travel companions for direct information by joining our Facebook group 'WeRoad... let's get to know each other before leaving! (official)' – (here is the extended link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/weroadit) look for a post associated with your trip, or ask the group administrators for help in getting in touch with your future adventure companions!
If the coordinator has already been assigned to the trip you are interested in, you can easily find his/her presentation post in the group through the site: in the shift list click on 'Ask the coordinator', or in the trip tab, in the coordinator section, click on 'Ask [coordinator name] about this shift in our Facebook group'. For both cases, see the screenshots below!
[screenshot]
In all our groups, the Travel Coordinator and participants speak English – knowing how to speak and understand English is therefore a fundamental requirement to participate in our trips.
On average the groups are made up of 6-15 people, with a minimum of 3/4 participants and a maximum of 15.
All our travellers are in theirs 20s, 30s and 40s. If you're very curious to know the age range of the group for a tour you're interested in, you can see this by finding the trip on our website, and clicking the down arrow to see the ages & genders of participants. You'll need to have created a WeRoad account with us to do this.
Any issues finding this info just give our team in the office a call, we're always happy to help!
Regarding the male-female ratio, this is not guaranteed and varies trip by trip.
Yes! If you're curious, you can take a sneak peek at the group before booking – although, in our opinion, that kind of spoils the surprise! You’ll find the info in the ‘Group’ section for each trip on the departures page, showing how many WeRoaders have already booked. Click the little arrow and you’ll even see their gender and ages – but hey, that’s exclusive info, so we’ll ask you to log in or sign up to see that!
Yes, in all our trips you will share a room with other same-sex travellers, and the bathroom will either be private or shared only with fellow participants of the trip. The rooms we select can be doubles, triples, quadruples, or multi-bed (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.
There are never dorms with people outside the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodations like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.
During the booking process, you can also choose to opt for a mixed room: in this case, if needed, only those who have agreed to this option may share a room with travellers of a different sex. If you are booking for multiple people together and select this option, the room will not be exclusive to your group but may be shared with other travellers in the group.
The WeRoad Travel Coordinator is an experienced and skilled traveller and will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will be available for any eventuality and will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary (transports, timings, accommodations, meeting points, etc.), so you can enjoy the trip without any worries!
You will have the chance to get to know them when the WhatsApp group is created approximately 2 weeks before departure - this will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Coordinator assigned, you can contact them before booking – their details will be specified in the schedule or on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your Personal Area, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.
When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'Once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you, even if you no longer travel with us.
But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. We can also meet up for a dinner or a trek together at one of the events organised by our coordinators around the world!
