Tour Packages in Europe
There are times when your normal routine is just too loud. Days start blending, and when you yearn for something new, something quiet, something open, that's when a thought of taking a trip to Europe from India grabs you, and starts to unfold in your head.
What if I had a few weeks with no meetings, with no alarm going off, where my day looks like narrow alleyways in Florence, lakeside mornings in Lucerne, long strolls wondering how to cross the canal in Amsterdam, or travelling down the Seine in Paris without anyone rushing me?
These European travel packages for 2025 are intended to flow smoothly, with no sudden stops. The pathways cross borders, so France flows into Switzerland, then into Italy, and finally settles in the Netherlands, where each country maintains its own identity, but at the same time, the flow between them is profound, a shared experience of time. You don't just pass through the locations, you take them into you like the serenity of the magic of time itself.
The real difference in these European vacations is not that there are more places to see, but that there is more room in between each of them! Whether you're travelling alone, with a partner, or as a family, each itinerary includes visa assistance, private transfers, and curated stays to ensure that the logistics don't detract from the experience.
The objective is simple: we want you to enjoy Europe at your own pace. This may look like sitting at a café in a quiet street and sipping espresso in Paris. Or just sitting back and inspecting boats drifting and cruising through the canals in Amsterdam. Whether it involves gondola rides in Venice or chocolate tastings in Lucerne, there is no rush to go from point A to point B.
These getaways and European tour packages from India include highlighted itineraries with tour directors and local experts that include experiences where, like real travel, is less about seeing the sites than it is about feeling the site. This allows experiencing deeper moments, even on a constrained budget, not just postcard stops.
Winter 2025 is great for this trip. With open borders, nice weather, and events like La Tomatina or the blooming of Keukenhof, every path is open, and no cobblestone street is unwalkable. Whether you are hitting three countries or five, your European travel agenda is designed around your travel dates and travel style.
All that is required of you is to tell us where to start from and at what pace. Everything else is already in place.
Routes That Flow
Every itinerary will have places like Paris, Rome, Amsterdam, and Barcelona, but without the pressures of fast-paced travel. These routes are calibrated to allow you to travel slowly, with space for day trips, local walks, and spontaneous experiences that usually become the fondest memories.
Predictable Pricing Without Guesswork
Seasonal bookings are priced to be stable. Once you lock in your travel within reach, pricing is not going to shift or change with the market rate. No surprise mid-travel increases, no hidden add-on pricing, no new increases, just a clear budget from beginning to end for your trip in Europe.
Completely Booked & Confident
You will have cleared airport pickups, hotel bookings, visa support, guided tours, and intercity transfers set in advance. There will be no logistical issues to navigate halfway through travelling. Every item included will be easy to see, book, and confirm before you leave home!
Travel Support That Travels With You
You will have 24/7 travel support from the minute you depart on your first journey home. The local support teams across Europe will be connected via smartphones during your travel period. Any changes to your route or urgent needs will be handled in real time.
Tailor-Made Itineraries Based on You
Do you want to add an extra night in Florence or take a city out that's already? Sure! These aren’t pre-made templates, but detailed itineraries to match your style, your timeline, and the things you’re interested in experiencing.
Local Culture And Not Just Attractions
We build our trips around slow moments, opera nights in Vienna, art corners in Florence, and midday breaks in Bruges. This is not an added surprise; it’s intentionally built in. You will get more than promo stops; you will get a place and experience.
Balanced Value on Every Inclusion
Every item in your itinerary, transfers, stays, meals, and entry passes, is included with a clear purpose and value. There’s no markup for standard services and no missing essentials disguised as “add-ons.” What’s covered is always relevant.
Ground Partners Who Know the Area
Transfers, guiding activities, and local experiences are done by direct partners in your region, minimising any delays, miscommunication, or third-party mix-up. The individuals supporting you, helping you have an enjoyable trip, are the same people who live and work in the region.
Planners Who Use the Actual Map
Your entire European itinerary is created by individuals who have extensive knowledge about the geography, local transportation, and seasonal fluctuations. Each itinerary is current, balancing previous templates of journeys with the current flow of tourism. No unnecessary time-consuming detours and no impractical stops along the way.
Transparent Pricing
What is quoted is what you will pay. The itemised pricing is provided before confirming your departure, and will not change after that. You will not be subject to any surprise tax or booking fees, or undefined fees in general.
Europe isn’t across the world; it’s just across a plane. But getting there the right way matters. If you’re flying from India, there are multiple international airports that connect seamlessly with major cities across Europe. The options range from direct flights to single-stop routes, depending on where you’re starting from and which part of Europe you’re landing in.
There’s no single best way to get to Europe. It depends on your departure city, your itinerary, the season, and whether you want to land in Western Europe, Central Europe, or explore beyond the usual tourist circuit. Whether you're flying out of Delhi to Paris or Mumbai to Zurich, there's a route that suits your pace.
Major Airports in India with Direct or One-Stop Flights to Europe
The main international airports that serve frequent flights to Europe include:
Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), Delhi
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM), Mumbai
Kempegowda International Airport (BLR), Bengaluru
Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD), Hyderabad
Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU), Kolkata
Cochin International Airport (COK), Kochi
Chennai International Airport (MAA), Chennai
Each of these cities offers both direct and layover options to top destinations in Europe, including Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Rome, Zurich, and Vienna.
These direct routes reduce travel time and help you land fresher, especially if you're planning to cover multiple countries. Here’s a list of some of the most common direct flights from India to Europe.
| Departure City (India) | Destination City (Europe) | Airline | Average Duration |
| Delhi (DEL) | London (LHR) | British Airways, Air India | 9h 30m |
| Mumbai (BOM) | Paris (CDG) | Air France | 9h 20m |
| Bengaluru (BLR) | Frankfurt (FRA) | Lufthansa | 9h 45m |
| Delhi (DEL) | Zurich (ZRH) | Swiss International Air Lines | 8h 45m |
| Chennai (MAA) | Frankfurt (FRA) | Lufthansa | 10h |
,These flights are typically available throughout the year, with higher frequencies during the peak Europe travel season between April and October.
One-Stop Flights: More Cities, More Flexibility
If you're not flying out of a metro city or want to explore lesser-known European destinations, one-stop flights work well. Airlines like Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad, and Turkish Airlines offer efficient connections via their hubs in the Middle East or Istanbul.
These layovers usually range between 2–4 hours, and they open access to cities like Prague, Florence, Salzburg, or Seville that don’t have direct links with Indian airports.
Common One-Stop Options Include:
Delhi – Doha – Madrid (Qatar Airways)
Mumbai – Istanbul – Budapest (Turkish Airlines)
Hyderabad – Abu Dhabi – Vienna (Etihad Airways)
Kochi – Dubai – Rome (Emirates)
This method also helps reduce airfare costs during non-peak months, and sometimes adds a chance to explore the stopover city if your layover is long.
Which Indian City Is Best to Fly from?
There’s no fixed answer; it depends on where you live and which European countries you’re visiting. But here’s a breakdown of best-match city pairs:
For Western Europe (France, UK, Switzerland): Delhi and Mumbai offer the most direct and frequent flights.
For Central and Eastern Europe (Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic), Bengaluru and Hyderabad with one-stop connections offer better access.
For Southern Europe (Italy, Spain, Greece): Chennai and Kochi are better suited for one-stop options via Middle Eastern hubs.
If you're starting from Tier-2 or Tier-3 cities, it's best to take a short domestic flight to a metro hub (Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru) and fly to Europe from there. It reduces transit issues and gives you access to better flight deals.
Travel Time and Cost Factors
Travel time ranges from 8 to 14 hours, depending on direct or one-stop routes. Peak season (May to August) sees higher airfare, especially for popular destinations like Paris, Amsterdam, or Rome. For better pricing:
Book flights 3–4 months in advance
Travel during shoulder seasons (April, September)
Use fare trackers and flexible date tools
Airfare to Europe from India typically starts around ₹40,000 to ₹60,000 (round trip) for economy class. Premium economy or business class rates depend heavily on the route and airline, but usually start from ₹1.2 lakh upward.
Tips for Smooth Europe Travel from India
Visa Comes First: Before booking your flight, ensure your Schengen visa application is approved or timed appropriately. Flight bookings are often required for the visa process, but can be made refundable.
Book Early: Summer routes get overbooked fast. If you’re planning for 2025, early planning gives you more flight and fare flexibility.
Keep Layovers Comfortable: Avoid ultra-short layovers if you’re transiting through major airports. A 2–3 hour window is ideal.
Choose Your Landing Point Smartly: Arriving in Frankfurt, Paris, or Zurich gives you the smoothest onward rail and road access to other countries.
Europe isn’t a one-season destination. It changes character with every month, and where you go depends heavily on when you go. A tulip garden in April doesn’t feel like the Christmas market in December, and that’s exactly the point. If you’re planning a European tour from India, picking the right season matters more than cramming destinations into your itinerary.
Whether you're looking for pleasant summers in the Alps, golden autumn in Paris, snow-covered streets in Vienna, or spring festivals across Spain and Italy, there’s a season for every kind of traveller.
Quick Overview: Europe’s Travel Seasons
| Season | Months | What to Expect | Best For |
| Spring | March to May | Mild weather, blooming gardens, fewer crowds | Tulip fields, festivals, day trips |
| Summer | June to August | Warm days, long daylight hours, busy tourist flow | Beaches, lake towns, Alps, nightlife |
| Autumn | September to November | Cooler air, fewer tourists, scenic landscapes | Wine tours, countryside drives |
| Winter | December to February | Snow, festive markets, off-season prices | Christmas lights, skiing, and low rates |
Summer in Europe (June to August)
This is peak season. Days are long, the weather stays consistently pleasant across most regions, and nearly every major route remains open. But prices do go up, so do crowds.
Temperature: 18°C – 28°C (varies by country)
Best For: Lake Como, Amalfi Coast, Swiss Alps, Paris, Amsterdam nightlife
Watch Out For: Fully booked hotels, inflated airfares, long lines at attractions
If you’re planning your 2025 Europe trip from India in summer, early bookings (3–6 months in advance) help secure direct flights, better rates, and smooth Schengen visa processing.
Spring (March to May)
Spring is easily one of the best-kept secrets of European travel. You still get open attractions, but without the peak rush. Cherry blossoms bloom in Paris, tulip gardens in Amsterdam open by April, and walking weather is perfect.
Temperature: 10°C – 20°C
Best For: Netherlands (Keukenhof Tulip Gardens), France, Tuscany, Prague
Why It Works: Affordable hotels, lighter crowds, and balanced weather
This season offers excellent Europe tour packages from India for couples, honeymooners, and first-timers who want to avoid the chaos but still cover iconic spots.
Autumn (September to November)
Autumn is when Europe slows down, and that’s a good thing. The leaves turn golden, vineyards come alive with harvest, and tourist-heavy cities like Rome or Venice feel more open.
Temperature: 12°C – 22°C
Best For: Wine regions in Italy and France, countryside drives, and fewer crowds
Special Appeal: Food festivals, cheaper rates, and ambient walks
If you're travelling in autumn, you get the perfect mix of relaxed sightseeing and authentic local experiences. It’s also one of the best times for Europe group tours or senior travellers who prefer cooler days.
Winter (December to February)
Winter in Europe isn’t just cold—it’s atmospheric. Cities light up for Christmas markets, snow blankets the Alps, and travel costs drop (except around Christmas and New Year).
Temperature: -5°C to 7°C
Best For: Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Lapland, festive markets
Things to Keep in Mind: Short daylight hours, cold weather gear, possible delays
For Indian travellers used to tropical winters, this can be a refreshing change. It’s the best time for snow sports, scenic train rides, and holiday-themed travel experiences across Europe.
When Should You Go Based on Your Priorities?
Here’s a guide based on what type of trip you’re planning:
For First-Time Travellers: Late April to early June or mid-September
For Couples & Honeymoons: Spring (April-May) or Autumn (Sept-Oct)
For Family Holidays: May-June (for school breaks), or December
For Budget Trips: March or November (before peak or after shoulder season)
For Festive Travel: December (Christmas markets, New Year celebrations)
For Nature & Landscape Travel: April for flowers, October for fall colours
Europe is certainly not a one-size-fits-all trip, and that is true for the packages too. Whether you are a couple planning a romantic getaway, a family with kids, a group of friends, or a solo traveller and would rather explore freely, there are personalised itineraries designed for your travel pace, interests, and budget.

Planning a European trip from India goes beyond just booking flights and hotels. To truly enjoy the journey, you’ll need to keep a few essential travel tips in mind. These aren't just about comfort; they're about making your trip smooth, cost-effective, and stress-free across diverse European countries.
Choose a Multi-Country Schengen Pass for Convenience
Instead of booking individual country passes, consider the Eurail Global Pass or Interrail (if you're a resident of Europe) for seamless travel across borders. For public transport within cities, get local passes like the Paris Navigo Découverte or Berlin WelcomeCard, which save both time and money.
Stay Currency-Savvy
While card payments are common, you should always carry some cash in local currency, especially in smaller towns or for local transport and eateries. Euros are widely used, but countries like Switzerland (CHF) and Hungary (HUF) have their currencies.
Pack Light, But Smart
Europe’s cobbled streets and rail networks demand light luggage. Opt for a good-quality wheeled suitcase or a sturdy backpack if you’re planning multiple hops.
Essentials to pack:
Prioritise Safety and Connectivity
Respect Local Customs and Regulations
Every European country has its etiquette. Avoid loud phone conversations in public transport, don’t jump queues, and learn basic greetings in local languages like “Danke” in Germany or “Merci” in France. Always check if tipping is customary; it's expected in some regions but optional in others.
A European tour from India typically requires a Schengen visa. This visa permits entry into 27 European countries under one approval, making it convenient for multi-country travel. However, the process can seem complicated without clear guidance. Here's everything Indian travellers need to know, factually correct, well-structured, and easy to follow.
Step-by-Step Visa Process for Indian Citizens
| Step | Description |
| 1. Identify Your Entry Country | Apply through the embassy/consulate of the country where you'll stay the longest, or the one you enter first if all stays are equal. |
| 2. Book an Appointment | Visit VFS Global (or the specific consulate website) to schedule your biometric and document submission appointment. |
| 3. Gather Documents | See the checklist below. Each embassy might have slight variations. |
| 4. Submit Application | Attend the appointment, submit documents, biometrics, and pay the visa fee. |
| 5. Track and Wait | Processing takes 10–15 working days on average. You’ll receive SMS/email updates. |
Documents Required for Schengen Visa from India
Valid passport (issued in the last 10 years, valid for 3+ months beyond return date)
Two recent passport-size photos (as per Schengen specs)
Flight reservation (don’t book actual tickets before approval)
Proof of accommodation for the entire stay
Travel insurance (minimum €30,000 coverage)
Cover letter stating purpose, itinerary, and funding
Leave letter (if employed) or student certificate
3–6 months of updated bank statements
Income tax returns or Form 16
Proof of ties to India (job, family, property)
Fees and Processing Time
Visa fee: Approx. €80 (₹7,200), payable in INR
VFS service fee: Around ₹1,500 extra
Processing time: Usually 10–15 working days. Apply 4–6 weeks before travel.
Additional Tips
Don't book non-refundable tickets or hotels before getting the visa. Use refundable bookings or dummy reservations if needed.
Your travel insurance must include COVID-19 coverage; some embassies still mandate this.
Group tours can simplify the process, as many agencies assist with documentation, bookings, and appointment slots.
Planning a trip to Europe from India is not solely about purchasing tickets; it involves gaining a firmer understanding of what you can expect and figuring out how to prepare wisely. There is a more significant aspect that matters too, as you could think about what season or package, compositions of travel packages, plus visa or migration laws; all the logistics details matter. Your experience in Europe can be memorable, smooth, and educational (whether trekking in the Alps or meandering through historic town squares) if you have the right information, preparation, and mindset. Imagine this guide supporting you during the preparation phase before making your first step out of boundaries and borders.
