What to pack

Weather in Scandinavia and Switzerland can be unpredictable, with temperatures varying greatly by region and season. Be sure to pack warm, waterproof clothing and a pair of comfortable shoes for walking tours and exploring scenic areas.

Currency

Most trains in Europe and Scandinavia do not have ATMs onboard, so it's wise to withdraw some cash in advance for small purchases during your travels.

Climate

Scandinavian and Swiss climates can be unpredictable, with the potential for sudden changes even in summer. Be prepared for a range of conditions, from sunny days to cooler, rainy weather.

Food

While many train journeys on these tours are relatively short, it’s still a good idea to bring snacks or purchase food beforehand, especially for longer excursions or remote areas where options may be limited.
