Europe Tour Packages from Delhi
More Europe non-stops leave Delhi than any other Indian city. Private trips for Delhi NCR families and couples, routed around the flight you actually take, with the Schengen file prepared for VFS Delhi.
If you live in Delhi, Gurugram, Noida or Faridabad, you start a Europe trip with an advantage the rest of India does not have. As of November 2026, Indira Gandhi International Airport has non-stop flights to around a dozen European cities, from London and Paris to Helsinki, Warsaw and Athens. That means you can usually fly into one country and out of another without a connection, and pick the flight timing that suits your family instead of taking whatever exists. It also means the capital gets offered the most coach-batch departures in the country. We do not sell those. Every Europe trip we plan is private: your own dates, rail passes or point-to-point train tickets, private transfers between station and hotel, and city guides booked only for your family.
This page covers what a private Europe package costs, which airlines fly where from Terminal 3 and how their timings change the plan, the Schengen visa as it works at VFS in the capital, three itineraries built around night and daytime departures, a calendar matched to Delhi school breaks and the winter fog, and the food questions Punjabi, Marwari and Jain families ask us. Your trip is planned by our team in Ahmedabad and booked on WhatsApp or phone; we have no Delhi office.

What a Europe package from Delhi costs (2026–27)
Today our site lists 13 Europe packages, starting at ₹40,999 per person. The bands below are per person, two adults sharing a room, and they leave out international air tickets and the visa fee. They include hotels with breakfast, second-class rail tickets or a Swiss Travel Pass where it saves money, private transfers on arrival and departure days, guided city tours, the mountain excursions named in the itinerary and an Indian dinner on most nights.
| Route | Standard (3-star, a tram ride from the centre) | Deluxe (4-star, walking distance to stations) | Premium (5-star or lake / old-town views) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 nights – Switzerland (Lucerne and Interlaken) | ₹95,000 – 1,25,000 | ₹1,35,000 – 1,70,000 | ₹2,10,000 – 3,00,000 |
| 7 nights – Paris and Switzerland | ₹1,30,000 – 1,65,000 | ₹1,75,000 – 2,20,000 | ₹2,70,000 – 3,80,000 |
| 9 nights – Paris, Switzerland and Italy | ₹1,65,000 – 2,05,000 | ₹2,15,000 – 2,75,000 | ₹3,20,000 – 4,50,000 |
| 11 nights – London, Paris, Switzerland and Italy | ₹2,05,000 – 2,60,000 | ₹2,70,000 – 3,40,000 | ₹4,00,000 – 5,80,000 |
Air tickets: because so many airlines compete out of IGI, economy returns are often the lowest in India – roughly ₹45,000 – 75,000 per person when booked two to three months ahead for April, September or October. For the Delhi summer vacation and the Christmas–New Year fortnight, plan on ₹80,000 – 1,25,000. Open-jaw tickets (into Paris, out of Rome) usually cost about the same as a plain return. Children aged 2 to 11 pay most of the adult fare, typically 75 to 90%.
What you pay locally: city tourist tax collected by hotels, lunches, optional add-ons such as Disneyland Paris, Glacier 3000 or a Venice gondola, seat reservations on Italian and French fast trains if you change a date, and tips. We convert at about ₹106 to the euro and ₹116 to the Swiss franc (early November 2026) and list each item on the quote. Our Europe trip cost guide breaks a full budget down line by line.
Non-stop flights from Delhi to Europe (as of November 2026)

Night flight or daytime flight – the choice that shapes day one
- European airlines mostly leave Delhi between about midnight and 3 am and land in the early morning. You arrive with a full day ahead, but tired. We plan that day lightly: a private transfer, early check-in where the hotel allows it (we pay for it on request), and one easy walk.
- Air India flights to Europe generally leave Delhi around midday or early afternoon and land the same evening local time. You lose the first day to travel but sleep in a bed that night, which many grandparents prefer.
- Return flights usually land late at night or early the next morning. Book the cab from T3 in advance; at 2 am the queue at the prepaid counter can be long.
- Fog margin: from mid-December to January, fog delays IGI departures and incoming domestic flights. If you fly into Delhi from Lucknow, Chandigarh or Jaipur to connect, keep at least five hours, or come the day before.
- Time difference: central Europe is 4½ hours behind India until 28 March 2027 and 3½ hours behind in summer. London is one hour behind Paris.
Getting to T3: the Airport Express metro runs from New Delhi station and Dwarka Sector 21; by car allow about 45 minutes from South Delhi and Gurugram outside rush hour, and 1½ hours or more from Noida and Ghaziabad. The new Noida International Airport at Jewar has no Europe flights as of November 2026.
Schengen visa for Delhi residents (as of November 2026)
A Schengen visa lets you move freely across 29 countries. You apply to the country where you will spend the most nights, or, with equal nights, the one you enter first. This is why we fix the itinerary before booking an appointment – a change from four nights in Switzerland to four in Italy changes the embassy.
- Where you apply: the embassies in the capital handle residents of Delhi and most of north India. VFS Global's joint Schengen centre moved in January 2026 from Shivaji Stadium metro station to 27 Kasturba Gandhi Marg. It takes biometrics for Switzerland, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, the Nordic countries, Czechia, Poland, Portugal and several others. France and Italy run their own application centres in Delhi, and Spain uses BLS International. We tell you the exact address with the appointment.
- Fees: €90 per adult and €45 for children aged 6 to 11; under 6 free. You pay in rupees with the VFS service charge on top. Fees are not refunded if the visa is refused.
- Timing: a decision normally comes within 15 calendar days of submission, longer in some cases. The harder part is the appointment: slots for April to June travel start filling from January. You can apply up to six months before departure.
- Documents we check line by line: passport valid at least three months after you leave Europe, six months of bank statements with no unexplained large deposits, income-tax returns for two to three years, salary slips and a leave letter or business proof, and confirmed hotels and travel insurance.
- Repeat travellers: under the cascade rules for Indian nationals, someone who has held and lawfully used two Schengen visas in the last three years can be considered for a two-year multiple-entry visa, followed by a five-year one. Keep your old passports in the file.
- At the border: the EU's Entry/Exit System is now in use, so your fingerprints and face are recorded the first time you enter. Expect longer queues at Paris, Frankfurt or Zurich passport control. ETIAS is not for Indian passport holders, since you already need a visa, and its launch has in any case moved to 2027.
- UK: London needs a separate UK visitor visa with biometrics at the UK visa centre. Apply after your Schengen passport comes back, and allow three weeks.
We prepare and submit your application; whether a visa is granted is for the embassy alone to decide. Refusal reasons and the full document list are in our Schengen visa guide for Indians.
Three Europe itineraries from Delhi, built around the flight you take
9 nights / 11 days – first Europe trip on a night flight: Paris, Switzerland, Italy
- Day 1: Leave Delhi on a late-night Air France flight; land in Paris around 7 am. Private transfer, bags at the hotel, a slow lunch, then a Seine cruise at sunset. Early night.
- Day 2: Eiffel Tower summit with timed tickets, Trocadéro, the Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe.
- Day 3: The Louvre in the morning, Montmartre after lunch – or Disneyland Paris if the children vote for it.
- Day 4: TGV Lyria to Basel and on to Lucerne; Chapel Bridge and the old town.
- Day 5: Mt Titlis by cable car; afternoon at Engelberg.
- Day 6: Luzern–Interlaken Express panoramic train to Interlaken; Harder Kulm by funicular.
- Day 7: Jungfraujoch via Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen.
- Day 8: Train through the Simplon tunnel to Milan and on to Venice; evening by the Grand Canal.
- Day 9: Fast train to Florence; Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, and Pisa on the way if you wish.
- Day 10: Rome – Colosseum and Forum, Trevi Fountain by night.
- Day 11: Vatican Museums early, then the non-stop from Rome to Delhi.
The same route on a daytime Air India departure
If you prefer to sleep in a bed on the first night, we reverse the direction: an Air India midday departure lands in Milan in the evening, you go straight to the hotel, and the trip runs Italy – Switzerland – Paris, ending with a Paris–Delhi non-stop. The order changes; the number of nights does not. For travellers over 65, this version is usually easier.
6 nights / 8 days – Switzerland and the Austrian Tyrol in the January school break
- Day 1: Night flight from IGI; land in Zurich in the morning. Train to Lucerne, which stays calm in January.
- Day 2: Titlis in deep snow; the Ice Flyer chairlift over the glacier if it is running.
- Days 3 – 4: Interlaken base: Jungfraujoch on the clearest day, a sledging run at Grindelwald on the other.
- Day 5: Scenic train to St Moritz or the Bernina line, depending on the weather forecast.
- Days 6 – 7: Cross to Innsbruck by rail; the Nordkette cable car straight from the city and the Swarovski Crystal Worlds.
- Day 8: Train to Munich for a Lufthansa non-stop back to Delhi.
With Air India's Delhi–Vienna service ended in October 2026, an Austria finish now usually means flying home from Munich or Zurich; the train from Innsbruck to Munich takes under two hours.
7 nights / 8 days – Greece for a honeymoon on the IndiGo Athens flight
- Day 1: IndiGo non-stop to Athens; evening at Plaka below the Acropolis.
- Day 2: Acropolis and its museum in the morning; sunset at Cape Sounion.
- Days 3 – 5: Fast ferry or a short flight to Santorini; a cave-hotel room in Oia or Imerovigli, a catamaran day and wine tasting.
- Days 6 – 7: Ferry to Mykonos or Naxos for beaches.
- Day 8: Back to Athens for the return flight to Delhi.
The Athens flight runs only about three times a week, so the trip length is set by its days; May, June and September are the right months. Joint families travel the same routes as a private group with their own minivan and driver for transfer days.
Delhi school breaks, fog and festivals: picking your Europe dates
- Summer vacation: Delhi government schools follow the Directorate of Education calendar, which usually runs the break from about 11 May to 30 June; many private and CBSE schools in Delhi NCR close in the same window. This is peak season for Indians in Switzerland and Paris. Apply for the visa in January or February and book flights by March.
- Winter break: DoE schools usually close from 1 to 15 January, and often longer in a cold wave. Most European Christmas markets have closed by 24 December, so a January trip is about snow, not markets: Switzerland, Innsbruck and Lapland from Helsinki. For markets, the last week of November or the first three weeks of December are the dates.
- Diwali 2027: about 29 October. Europe is cool and calm, but fares rise for that week; book by July.
- Christmas and New Year: Christmas Day 2026 falls on a Friday, which suits a short Christmas trip with three days of leave. Paris and London hotels are at their highest from 20 December to 2 January.
| Month | Weather (Paris / Swiss valleys) | Delhi angle | Price level |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | -2 to 6°C, snow in the Alps | School winter break; fog delays at IGI | Low after 6 January |
| February | 0 to 8°C | Wedding season; honeymoon trips | Low |
| March | 4 to 12°C | Board exams; Holi | Low to medium |
| April | 7 to 16°C, Keukenhof tulips | Good for couples and seniors | Medium |
| May | 11 to 20°C, all lifts open | Summer vacation starts mid-month | High |
| June | 14 to 24°C | Peak family month | Highest for Indian travellers |
| July – August | 17 to 30°C; heat in Italy | Schools back; monsoon in Delhi | High in Europe generally |
| September | 12 to 22°C, settled weather | Best value window | Medium |
| October | 8 to 16°C, autumn colour | Navratri, Dussehra, Diwali late in 2027 | Medium |
| November | 3 to 10°C, short days | Delhi smog season; markets open late month | Lowest |
| December | 0 to 6°C, Christmas markets | Christmas week leave | High from 20 December |
Food and practical tips for Delhi travellers in Europe
Punjabi, Marwari and Jain food
- Punjabi food is the easiest to find. Almost every Indian restaurant in Europe runs a North Indian menu – dal makhani, paneer, naan, chole. In London's Southall, Paris's Gare du Nord streets and every Swiss resort town we use, a dinner within walking distance of the hotel is easy. Our quotes include these dinners on most nights.
- Marwari and Jain households: food without onion, garlic or root vegetables needs a day's notice at an Indian restaurant; we put the instruction on each dinner voucher. London is simple because of its large Jain and Gujarati community; Swiss mountain stops and small Italian towns are not, so carry dry snacks like khakhra, mathri and namkeen, and ready-to-eat dal and rice packs.
Packing and money
- Layers, even in June: Delhi's 44°C summer can make you forget that Jungfraujoch sits around -5 to 0°C all year. Pack a thermal, a light down jacket, gloves and shoes with grip.
- Luggage: on trains you lift your own bags, so one medium suitcase per person beats the large wedding-size cases many families own.
- Money: one forex card loaded with euros, Swiss francs and pounds, plus some cash in each. Switzerland and the UK do not use the euro, and cards work almost everywhere, including Swiss mountain stations.

How much does a Europe tour package from Delhi 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 Delhi are added. Open any package below to see exactly what is included, or ask us for a quote with flights.
Which European cities have direct flights from Delhi?
As of November 2026, Delhi has non-stops to London Heathrow, Paris, Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich, Amsterdam, Milan, Rome, Helsinki, Warsaw, Istanbul and Athens. Air India stopped flying Delhi to Copenhagen and Vienna in October 2026, and IndiGo paused Heathrow. Schedules change each season, so we confirm the flight for your dates.
How long is the flight from Delhi to Europe?
About 6½ hours to Istanbul, 7 hours to Athens, 8 to 9 hours to Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich or Milan, and 9 to 10 hours to Paris, Amsterdam or London. Coming back is usually an hour shorter. Central Europe is 4½ hours behind India in winter and 3½ hours behind in summer.
Is a night flight or a daytime flight better from Delhi?
Night flights on European airlines leave Delhi between about midnight and 3 am and give you a full first day, but you start tired. Air India daytime flights land in the evening, so you rest first. Young couples often choose the night flight; families with grandparents usually prefer the daytime one.
Where do I give biometrics for a Schengen visa in Delhi?
For most countries, at VFS Global's joint Schengen centre at 27 Kasturba Gandhi Marg, which moved from Shivaji Stadium in January 2026. France and Italy have their own centres in Delhi, and Spain uses BLS International. We book the right centre for your main country and send the address with the appointment.
How much is the Schengen visa fee for Delhi applicants?
As of November 2026 it is €90 for adults and €45 for children aged 6 to 11, with children under 6 free, paid in rupees. The VFS or BLS service charge is extra, and the fee is not refunded if the visa is refused. Our package quote shows the visa cost on a separate line.
When should a family book Europe for the summer vacation?
Start planning in December or January. DoE schools usually break from about 11 May to 30 June, which is when Schengen appointments in Delhi are hardest to get. File the visa by February, book flights by March, and confirm Swiss hotels three to four months ahead.
Is the January school break a good time for Europe from Delhi?
Yes, if you want snow. Switzerland, Innsbruck and Finnish Lapland are at their winter best in the first half of January, and hotel rates fall after 6 January. Most Christmas markets close by 24 December, though. Allow for fog delays at Delhi airport, especially on connecting domestic flights.
Do you sell coach-batch Europe tours from Delhi?
No. We only plan private Europe trips: your family travels alone on dates you choose, with train tickets or passes and private transfers, and a guide only for city tours. Extended families and friends can travel together as a private group with their own minivan.
Can I get Jain or Marwari food in Europe?
Yes, with planning. Indian restaurants in Paris, London, Switzerland and Rome will cook without onion, garlic or root vegetables if told a day ahead, and we write it on each voucher. Mountain excursions and small Italian towns have few options, so carry khakhra, mathri and ready-to-eat packs.
Can I fly into one European city and out of another from Delhi?
Yes. Because IGI has non-stops to Paris, Zurich, Frankfurt, Munich, Milan and Rome, an open-jaw ticket – into Paris and out of Rome, for example – usually costs about the same as a return to one city and saves a day of travelling back.
Do you have an office in Delhi?
No. Our team is in Ahmedabad and plans Delhi NCR trips on WhatsApp, phone or video call, Monday to Saturday. You get a written itinerary with hotel names, share documents for the visa securely, pay online against an invoice, and receive tickets and vouchers as PDFs, with 24×7 support during the trip.
