Touring Switzerland by Train — Now Live

Some places in the world feel made for train travel. Switzerland is one of them.

And after months of planning, travelling, refining routes, and bringing it all together, we're excited to share that the third book in the series is now live: Touring Switzerland by Train

Why Switzerland?

When we created Touring Italy by Train and Touring France by Train, the goal was simple: help travellers explore independently, without the cost, complexity, or constraints of organised tours. Switzerland takes that idea even further.

This is a country where:

Trains run with near-perfect precision
Even remote mountain villages are seamlessly connected
Journeys are designed around the scenery—not just the destination

In fact, Switzerland has:

Over 5,000 km of rail network
Some of the most punctual trains in the world
And routes that cross UNESCO World Heritage landscapes

But more than that—it’s a place where the journey becomes the experience.

What This Book Is About

Touring Switzerland by Train is designed for travellers who want to explore the country independently, confidently, and at their own pace.

Inside, you’ll find:

Step-by-step itineraries across Switzerland
Iconic scenic routes like the Glacier Express, Bernina route, and GoldenPass
Mountain journeys, lakeside towns, and hidden villages
Local insights on food, culture, and regional differences
Practical guidance on tickets, passes, and how the system works
Flexible travel ideas—not rigid tours

This isn’t just a train guide.

It’s a complete way to experience Switzerland.

What Makes Switzerland So Special by Train?

There’s nowhere quite like it.

Because here, train travel isn’t just transport—it’s part of the destination.

You can:

Travel from glaciers to palm trees in a single day
Step off the train and be immediately in the heart of a lakeside town
Combine trains, boats, and mountain railways effortlessly
Explore without ever needing to drive

And perhaps most importantly: You see more.

When you’re not focused on roads, parking, or navigation, you notice the details—the shifts in landscape, the architecture, the culture.

That’s what this book is really about.

A Growing Series

This is now the third book in the Real Travel Guides series.

Touring Italy by Train
Touring France by Train

Both have gone on to become best sellers in rail travel, helping thousands of travellers plan their own independent journeys.

Switzerland felt like the natural next step—and in many ways, the most exciting yet.
