Go for the Gold With These Olympic-Themed Railbookers Journeys
Although the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics may have drawn to a close, that’s no reason to put your/your client’s dreams of a gold medal-worthy holiday on the shelf. At Railbookers, not only are we the experts on train travel, but also have spent time creating thousands of itineraries to meet the demand of any traveller.
We are pleased to introduce three new itineraries that explore the history and excitement of the Olympic Games across Europe, whether it be ancient competition grounds, the modern-day home of the Olympics and much more.
In this blog, we’ll share five of the reasons why Railbookers is the perfect solution for you to “get in the games” and experience Olympic sites like the world’s top athletes did.
1. Travel to the Home of the Olympics:
Where else would we start besides the home of the ancient and modern Olympics, Athens? The capital city of Greece has thousands of years of history to offer along with exploring the beauty of the Greek Isles. Railbookers will transport you from mainland Europe to Athens via ferry and private transfer, where included sightseeing will allow you to experience and see the site of the 1896 and 2004 Summer Games. Of course, you’ll have the chance to visit the Acropolis and many other historic landmarks as well.
2. Bask in the Glow of the 2024 Games in Paris:
After weeks of showcasing as the Summer Olympics and Paralympics took place in France, there’s no better time than now to book your Parisian adventure. We’ll take care of the details with easy rail connections across Europe as well as hotels and sightseeing, whether it’s ascending the Eiffel Tower or visiting famous museums and landmarks.
3. Relive the Opening Ceremonies on the Seine:
Better yet, why not don your country’s colours and cruise the River Seine as each nation did during the 2024 opening ceremonies? Our Paris sightseeing activities include a relaxing and scenic evening river cruise, which will give you a whole new perspective on the City of Lights and also allow you to fulfil a small part of your Olympic dreams.
4. Learn At the Modern Day Home of the Olympics:
While it has never hosted an Olympic Games, the city of Lausanne was officially designated the Olympic Capital in 1994 and plays host to the Olympic Museum. As part of your Railbookers holiday package, admission to the museum is included for each guest. There, you can explore interactive exhibits that celebrate the history of the Olympic Games, featuring memorabilia, multimedia displays, and stunning outdoor installations, while enjoying beautiful views of Lake Geneva and more.
5. Choose Your Season:
Want to see the vaunted ski hills and skating rinks of the Winter Games? Prefer the athletics stadiums and outdoor fun of the Summer Olympiad? Railbookers offers itineraries that visit numerous cities that hosted both the Winter and Summer varieties of the Olympics. Whether it’s two-time winter hosts St Moritz (1928, 1948) or Innsbruck (1964, 1976) among the mountains, or other summer sites like London (1908, 1948, 2012), Rome (1960) and Munich (1972), we make it easy to experience the magic of the Olympics year-round.
