Europe has always held a special place in the Indian traveller's imagination — the romance of Paris, the precision of Switzerland, the history of Rome, the canals of Amsterdam. And in 2026, with more direct flights and competitive package pricing, a Europe tour from India is more achievable than ever. Here's everything you need to know to plan it right.
1Schengen Visa — The First Step
Most of Europe falls under the Schengen Area — one visa covers 26 countries. Apply at the embassy of the country where you'll spend the most time (usually France or Switzerland for Indian tourists). Processing takes 15–30 days; apply at least 45 days before travel. Required documents: passport (6 months validity), bank statements (3 months), ITR, confirmed hotel bookings, and travel insurance. Our visa team handles the entire process — 95%+ approval rate.
2Best Europe Itineraries for Indians
7N/8D Classic: Paris (2N) → Switzerland (2N) → Rome (2N) → Amsterdam (1N). 10N/11D Extended: Add Prague, Vienna, or Barcelona. 14N/15D Grand Tour: Cover 6–8 countries including Eastern Europe. Most Indian tour groups prefer the Paris–Switzerland–Italy triangle as a first Europe trip — it covers the highlights efficiently and offers the best photo opportunities.
3Best Time to Visit Europe
April–June and September–October are ideal — pleasant weather, longer days, and manageable crowds. July–August is peak season (school holidays) — expect higher prices and queues at major attractions. December is magical for Christmas markets in Germany, Austria, and Prague. Winter (January–March) offers the lowest prices but cold weather and shorter days.
4Europe Tour Package Pricing from India
7N/8D Europe packages from India start at ₹1,10,000 per person (budget, 3-star hotels, group tour). Mid-range packages (4-star, semi-private) run ₹1,60,000–₹2,20,000 per person. Luxury private Europe tours start at ₹3,00,000 per person. Couple packages with romantic add-ons from ₹2,40,000. Early bird discount: book 90 days ahead and save ₹20,000–₹30,000 per person.
5Money-Saving Tips for Europe
Book flights 3–4 months in advance for best fares. Travel in shoulder season (April, September) for 20–30% savings. City passes (Paris Pass, Amsterdam City Card) save money on attractions. Eat lunch at restaurants instead of dinner — same food, lower prices. Use public transport (metro, trams) instead of taxis. Book skip-the-line tickets for Eiffel Tower, Vatican, and Colosseum well in advance.
