Europe Tour Packages from Bangalore
Leave Devanahalli in the small hours, land in Zurich, Paris, Amsterdam or London by breakfast – private Europe holidays for Bengaluru families and couples, timed around KIA's night flights and the Karnataka school calendar.
Bengaluru has quietly become one of the best-connected cities in India for Europe. As of November 2026, Kempegowda International Airport has non-stop flights to London Heathrow, Frankfurt, Munich, Paris, Amsterdam and, since the end of October, Zurich. Almost all of them leave between about 2 am and 5 am and land in Europe in the morning, and almost all the return flights touch down at KIA close to midnight. For a family from Whitefield or Jayanagar this pattern decides more than people expect: when to leave home, how hard to push the first day, and whether to fly back into a working Monday.
This page is written for travellers from Bangalore. It gives honest per-person costs for private trips (we do not sell coach batches with forty strangers), the non-stops airline by airline, how the Schengen visa works with the consulates and the VFS centre in Bengaluru, three itineraries built on real KIA timings, a calendar matched to the Dasara break and the summer holidays, and food notes for a city whose families range from strict Udupi vegetarian to Kodava pork lovers. Your trip is planned by our team in Ahmedabad and booked on WhatsApp or phone; we have no office in Bengaluru.

Europe packages you can book now
All 13 Europe packages on Vibrant Holidays — 3 to 8 nights. Every package can be customised for departure from Bangalore.
Europe package cost from Bangalore (2026–27)
We have 13 Europe packages on sale, starting at ₹40,999 per person. The ranges below are per person with two adults in a room. They do not include the international flights or the visa fee, and they do include hotels with breakfast, rail tickets or a Swiss Travel Pass where it pays, private transfers on the arrival and departure days, guided city tours, the excursions named in each route and an Indian dinner on most nights. Euro and franc costs are converted at about ₹106 to the euro and ₹116 to the Swiss franc (early November 2026).
| Route | Standard (3-star, a tram ride out) | Deluxe (4-star, close to the station) | Premium (upper 4-star / 5-star, best location) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 nights – Switzerland and Paris (SWISS in, Air France out) | ₹1,35,000 – 1,70,000 | ₹1,80,000 – 2,25,000 | ₹2,65,000 – 3,70,000 |
| 8 nights – Amsterdam, Bruges, Cologne and the Rhine (KLM in, Lufthansa out) | ₹1,20,000 – 1,50,000 | ₹1,60,000 – 2,00,000 | ₹2,40,000 – 3,30,000 |

Airfare from Bengaluru: as of November 2026 a return economy ticket on a KIA non-stop usually costs about ₹55,000 – 85,000 per person when bought two to three months ahead. Around the Dasara break, the April–May holidays and Christmas, expect ₹90,000 – 1,35,000. One-stop tickets through Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi or Istanbul are sometimes ₹5,000 – 15,000 cheaper and add four to seven hours. Children aged 2 to 11 pay most of the adult fare.
Paid on the ground unless your quote includes it: city tourist tax at check-out, lunches, Disneyland Paris, the Eiger Express premium, a Rhine dinner cruise, Harry Potter studio tickets near London, tips for drivers and guides, and porters. The Europe trip cost guide breaks a whole budget down line by line.
Non-stop flights from Bengaluru to Europe (as of November 2026)
All of these use Terminal 2 at KIA. Times are approximate and airlines change them every season, so we confirm the flight number and timing on your quote.
| From BLR to | Airline | Usual pattern | Use it for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zurich | SWISS (new from 27 October 2026, five a week, not Tuesdays or Thursdays) | Leaves about 4.50 am, lands about 10.50 am; return lands about 3 am | Switzerland first, with a usable first afternoon |
| Munich | Lufthansa | Leaves about 2.50 am, lands about 8 am; return lands about 1 am | Bavaria, Salzburg, Innsbruck |
| Frankfurt | Lufthansa (Air India sells seats on it as a codeshare) | Leaves about 2.30 am; return lands just before 1 am | The Rhine, Heidelberg, ending a Germany trip |
| Paris CDG | Air France | Leaves about 2 am; the daytime return lands around 11.30 pm | Starting or ending in Paris |
| Amsterdam | KLM (Air France codes are the same plane) | Leaves about 2.30 am; return lands about 12.40 am | Netherlands, Belgium, Keukenhof in April |
| London Heathrow | British Airways (twice daily), Air India, Virgin Atlantic | About four a day in total, a mix of day and night | UK trips; Eurostar to Paris |
How KIA's timings shape the trip
- The drive to Devanahalli at night: after 11 pm the run from Koramangala, HSR Layout or Whitefield usually takes 60 – 75 minutes, from Electronic City about 90. Leave home around midnight for the 2 – 3 am departures; for the SWISS flight, around 1.30 am. Families from Mysuru or Tumakuru often stay at an airport hotel the evening before.
- Day one in Europe: a Munich, Frankfurt or Amsterdam arrival at 7 – 8.30 am means a long first day. We book early check-in or a day room when children or seniors are travelling. The later SWISS arrival into Zurich gives a gentler start: lunch in Lucerne, a nap, then the lakefront.
- Coming home: most returns land between about 11.30 pm and 3 am. Book a cab in advance and avoid booking office meetings for the next morning.
- What changed this winter: Air India's October 2026 cuts hit Delhi and Amritsar routes (Copenhagen, Vienna, Birmingham, Gatwick), not Bengaluru. Virgin Atlantic thinned Bengaluru flights in September–October and is back to daily, and British Airways has extended its second daily Heathrow flight to October 2027.
- No non-stop to Italy, Spain or Greece: for Rome, Barcelona or Athens we route through Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich or Paris on one ticket, or a Gulf carrier when it is much cheaper.
Schengen visa for Bengaluru residents (as of November 2026)
One Schengen visa covers 29 countries, including Switzerland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy. You apply to the country where you spend the most nights, or, with equal nights, the one you enter first. Karnataka is unusual in that several countries decide its applications locally.
- Consulates in Bengaluru: France, Germany and Italy have consulates general in the city, and Switzerland, the Netherlands and others accept Karnataka applications through the VFS Global centre in central Bengaluru and decide them in Mumbai, Chennai or Delhi. Spain uses BLS International. We send the exact centre and address with your appointment.
- Fees: €90 per adult and €45 for children aged 6 to 11; free under 6. You pay in rupees, the VFS or BLS service charge is extra, and nothing is refunded on refusal.
- Timing: a decision usually comes within 15 calendar days, sometimes longer. Slots for travel in April and May fill from January, and slots before the Dasara break fill in July and August. You can apply up to six months ahead.
- Files from IT and start-up professionals: a leave letter from HR with travel dates, three salary slips, six months of bank statements and Form 16 or ITRs for two to three years. If you are on a notice period, between jobs or paid partly in ESOPs, tell us early so the cover letter explains it. Founders and freelancers need company registration, GST returns and current-account statements.
- Frequent travellers: under the cascade rules for Indian nationals, two Schengen visas used lawfully within three years can lead to a two-year multiple-entry visa, then a five-year one. Keep old passports in the file.
- At the border: the EU Entry/Exit System now records fingerprints and a photo at your first Schengen airport. ETIAS does not apply to Indian passport holders, and its launch has moved to 2027 anyway.
- UK: London needs a separate UK visitor visa, applied online with biometrics at the UK visa centre in Bengaluru. Do it after the Schengen passport comes back.
We prepare and submit the application and book the appointment; approval is at the embassy's discretion and cannot be promised. The full document list is in our Schengen visa guide for Indians.

The UK is not in Schengen, so this route needs only the UK visa. Extended families and friend groups from Bangalore travel any of these as a private group on their own dates, with their own minivan and driver on transfer days.
Karnataka holidays and the best months for Europe
- Dasara break: Karnataka state-board schools closed from 3 to 21 October in 2026, with the second term starting on 22 October. Many CBSE and ICSE schools give a shorter break around the same days. Early October is a good Europe window: autumn colour, mild weather and fewer queues than May. File the visa by August.
- Summer holidays: state schools reopened on 29 May in 2026, so the break runs roughly from mid-April to the end of May. April suits the Netherlands and Paris; May suits Switzerland, when all mountain lifts are open.
- Christmas and New Year: markets open in late November; Christmas Day 2026 is a Friday, which helps salaried couples stretch leave.
- Appraisal and release cycles: many tech teams avoid leave in March (year-end) and around product releases. September, after the monsoon at home, is a good-value month for couples without school-age children.
| Month | Europe | At home | Price level |
|---|---|---|---|
| January – February | Snow in the Alps, quiet cities | Honeymoons after wedding season | Low |
| March | Cold, early spring | Financial year-end; board exams | Low |
| April | Tulips, 8 – 16°C | Ugadi; school holidays begin mid-month | Medium to high |
| May | Long days, lifts open | Peak family month | High |
| June | Warm and green | Schools back; couples | High |
| July – August | Hot in the south, busy everywhere | Monsoon at home | Highest in Europe |
| September | Settled, 12 – 22°C | Best value | Medium |
| October | Autumn colour, 8 – 16°C | Dasara break; Mysuru Dasara | Medium; break week higher |
| November | Grey, short days | Kannada Rajyotsava; quiet month | Lowest |
| December | Markets, snow higher up | Christmas week leave | High from 20 December |
Food and practical tips for Bangalore travellers
- Idli, dosa and curd rice: South Indian vegetarian restaurants are easy to find in London, Paris (around Gare du Nord), Frankfurt and Amsterdam, and Saravanaa Bhavan has branches in London and Paris. In Swiss mountain towns the Indian restaurants cook North Indian, so pack MTR ready-to-eat upma and bisi bele bath, rasam powder and a small bottle of pickle; most hotels have a kettle.
- Udupi, Jain and Marwari households: no onion, garlic or root vegetables is possible at Indian restaurants with a day's notice, and we print it on each dinner voucher. Mountain-top restaurants on Titlis or Jungfraujoch offer little beyond chips and bread.
- Non-vegetarian families: Kodava, Mangalorean and Andhra palates will find European food mild. Portuguese-style grills in London, Turkish kebab shops in Germany and Indo-Surinamese food in Amsterdam come closest to home.
- Coffee: filter coffee drinkers can carry a small steel filter and decoction powder; Italian espresso is the nearest local match.
- Clothes: Bengaluru's mild 18 – 30°C year makes people underpack. Even in May, Jungfraujoch and Titlis are below freezing, so carry thermals, a windproof jacket and gloves.
- Money and phones: a multi-currency forex card for euros, francs and pounds, a little cash in each, and an eSIM bought before departure.

How much does a Europe tour package from Bangalore cost?
Our Europe packages currently start at ₹40,999 per person for 3 nights. Most of our Europe packages fall between ₹49,999 and ₹80,000 per person. The final cost depends on the travel month, hotel category, number of travellers and whether flights from Bangalore are added. Open any package below to see exactly what is included, or ask us for a quote with flights.
Which European cities have non-stop flights from Bangalore?
As of November 2026, Kempegowda International Airport has non-stops to London Heathrow (British Airways, Air India and Virgin Atlantic), Frankfurt and Munich (Lufthansa), Paris (Air France), Amsterdam (KLM) and Zurich (SWISS, five a week since 27 October 2026). Schedules change every season, so we confirm what operates on your dates.
What time do Europe flights leave Bengaluru airport?
Most leave Terminal 2 between about 2 am and 3 am, and the SWISS Zurich flight leaves around 4.50 am. They land in Europe between 7 am and 11 am local time. Plan to leave home around midnight; from Electronic City or Mysuru Road allow more time, or stay near the airport.
When do return flights from Europe land in Bangalore?
Usually close to midnight: Air France around 11.30 pm, Lufthansa and KLM between about 12.30 am and 1 am, and SWISS around 3 am. Book a cab home in advance and keep the next day free, especially with children.
Is the new SWISS flight a good choice for a Switzerland trip?
Yes, if your dates fit. It runs five days a week, not on Tuesdays or Thursdays, and lands in Zurich around 10.50 am, which gives a calmer first day than the 8 am arrivals. Pair it with an Air France return from Paris and you avoid travelling back to Zurich.
Where do Bengaluru residents apply for a Schengen visa?
France, Germany and Italy have consulates in Bengaluru, and most Schengen countries take biometrics at the VFS Global centre in the city; Spain uses BLS International. The right country depends on where you spend the most nights. We fix the itinerary first, then book the appointment.
Is the Dasara break long enough for Europe?
Yes. In 2026 Karnataka state schools were closed from 3 to 21 October, enough for an eight to ten night trip. Early October brings autumn colour and mild weather. Book flights and file the visa by August, because fares and appointments for that fortnight go early.
Can I fly from Bengaluru to Italy or Greece without changing planes?
No, not as of November 2026. For Rome, Venice or Athens we usually connect through Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich or Paris on a single ticket, or fly into Paris or Zurich and reach Italy by train. A Gulf one-stop is sometimes cheaper but longer.
Will we get South Indian vegetarian food in Europe?
In big cities, yes: London, Paris, Frankfurt and Amsterdam have South Indian vegetarian restaurants. In Swiss and Austrian mountain towns Indian restaurants cook North Indian food. Carry ready-to-eat packs and spice powders for those days; we note Jain or no onion-garlic needs on every voucher.
Do you have an office in Bangalore?
No. Our team works from C G Road in Ahmedabad and plans Bengaluru trips on WhatsApp, phone or video call, Monday to Saturday. You get a written itinerary with hotel names, pay online against an invoice, and receive tickets, visa papers and vouchers before you fly, with 24×7 support on tour.
Do you run group tours to Europe from Bengaluru?
No. Every Europe trip we plan is private and customised, on dates you choose, with trains or private transfers and centrally located hotels. If several families from your apartment complex or office want to go together, they travel as one private group with their own vehicle.
How early should a Bengaluru family book Europe for the summer holidays?
Start in December. Schengen appointments for April and May travel fill from January, Swiss hotels for May sell early, and fares climb from February. Families who begin in March often find no visa slot before their dates.
