Europe Tour Packages from Mumbai
Board at Sahar after midnight, wake up over the Alps – private Europe holidays from Mumbai, planned around the city's non-stop flights, its monsoon months and a table that may need Jain, halal and seafood on the same evening.
Mumbai is the easiest place in western India to start a Europe holiday. As of November 2026, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) has non-stop flights to Zurich, Frankfurt, Munich, Paris, Amsterdam, London and Athens, most of them leaving between midnight and 2.30 am and landing in Europe in time for breakfast. That one fact shapes a good Mumbai itinerary: if the first hotel is ready for an early check-in, the first day in Europe is a real day, not a recovery day.
What most Europe tour packages from Mumbai sell, though, is a coach batch with fixed dates and forty strangers. We do not run those. Every Europe trip we plan is private and customised: your family alone, on dates you choose, moving by train or private vehicle, with a hotel in the centre instead of an hour outside it. This page covers realistic package costs, which non-stop suits which route, the Schengen visa as it works for Mumbai residents, three itineraries built on real flight timings, the Mumbai holiday calendar, and food for a city whose families eat everything from Jain thalis to Bohra mutton. Your trip is planned by our team in Ahmedabad and booked on WhatsApp or phone; we have no Mumbai office.

What a Europe package from Mumbai costs (2026–27)
We have 13 Europe packages on sale, from ₹40,999 per person. The figures below are indicative per-person ranges for two adults in one room. They leave out the international airfare and the visa fee, and include hotels with breakfast, trains or private transfers between cities, guided sightseeing in each main city, the big excursions named on each route, and Indian dinners on most evenings.
| Route | Standard (3-star, near a tram or metro line) | Deluxe (4-star, walkable centre) | Premium (upper 4-star / 5-star, prime location) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 nights – Switzerland and Paris, in by Zurich, out by Paris | ₹1,25,000 – 1,55,000 | ₹1,65,000 – 2,05,000 | ₹2,45,000 – 3,45,000 |
| 8 nights – Greece: Athens, Santorini, Mykonos | ₹1,05,000 – 1,35,000 | ₹1,45,000 – 1,90,000 | ₹2,40,000 – 3,60,000 |
| 9 nights – Bavaria and Austria, in and out of Munich | ₹1,40,000 – 1,75,000 | ₹1,85,000 – 2,30,000 | ₹2,75,000 – 3,85,000 |
| 12 nights – London, Paris, Switzerland and Italy | ₹2,20,000 – 2,75,000 | ₹2,85,000 – 3,60,000 | ₹4,20,000 – 6,00,000 |
Airfare from Mumbai: as of November 2026 a return economy ticket on a Mumbai non-stop usually costs about ₹50,000 – 80,000 per person when booked two to three months ahead, and IndiGo's Athens flights are often at the lower end. For the May–June school holidays, Diwali week and the Christmas fortnight, expect ₹85,000 – 1,30,000. One-stop tickets through Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi or Istanbul are sometimes cheaper by ₹5,000 – 15,000 and add four to seven hours. Children under 12 usually pay 75 to 90% of the adult fare.
Paid on the ground unless your quote says otherwise: city tourist tax at check-out, lunches, optional extras such as Disneyland Paris or a Santorini catamaran, the Eiger Express upgrade, tips for drivers and guides, and luggage porters. A rupee-by-rupee breakdown is in our Europe trip cost from India guide.

What this means for planning
- The small-hours departure: most Europe flights leave Terminal 2 between midnight and 2.30 am. Have an early dinner, leave home by about 9.30 pm and sleep on board. We book the first hotel with guaranteed early check-in where the itinerary needs it, so nobody waits in a lobby until 3 pm.
- Getting to T2: the Aqua Line Metro has a station at Terminal 2, handy for daytime flights from Colaba, Worli or BKC, but it does not run in the small hours. By car allow about 45 minutes from Bandra or Andheri at night, 75 – 90 minutes from South Mumbai, Thane or Navi Mumbai.
- Coming home: many return flights land at BOM between 11 pm and 2 am, so the last day in Europe is a full one. Book a car rather than queueing for a taxi with tired children.
- The narrow-body question: IndiGo's Athens and Amsterdam services use a single-aisle aircraft with a long sector. The fares are attractive; seniors who want space to walk the aisle may prefer a wide-body on Swiss, Lufthansa, Air France or KLM.
- What changed this year: IndiGo phased out Manchester and Air India dropped several Delhi–Europe routes in October 2026. Mumbai's main non-stops have held up.
- Navi Mumbai airport: opened for domestic flights on 25 December 2025 and for international flights on 15 July 2026, but as of November 2026 its international routes go only to the Gulf. For families in Panvel, Kharghar or Belapur it can work for a one-stop ticket through Abu Dhabi; for a non-stop, Sahar is still the airport.
Schengen visa for Mumbai residents (as of November 2026)
A Schengen visa covers 29 European countries, including Greece, Switzerland, France, Italy, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. You apply to the country where you will spend the most nights, or, if nights are equal, the one you enter first. Because Mumbai has so many non-stops, we often choose the arrival city with the visa in mind.
- Where you apply: many Schengen countries have a consulate in Mumbai that decides applications from Maharashtra and Goa, and biometrics are given at the VFS Global centres in the city. Spain uses BLS International rather than VFS. We tell you the exact centre and address once the itinerary is fixed.
- Appointments: Mumbai centres are the busiest in western India from January to April, when families file for the May vacation. Decisions usually come within 15 calendar days of submission and can take up to 45. Apply as early as six months before travel and no later than 15 days before.
- Fees: €90 per adult and €45 for children aged 6 to 11, free under 6, paid in rupees, plus the VFS or BLS service charge. Nothing is refunded if the visa is refused.
- Documents Mumbai files often get wrong: salaried applicants in Lower Parel, BKC or Powai need a leave letter naming the travel dates; traders from Kalbadevi or Bhiwandi need the firm's registration, current account statements and tax returns, not only a savings account; freelancers and film-industry professionals should add contracts or invoices.
- Frequent travellers: under the EU cascade rule for Indian residents, two Schengen visas used lawfully within three years can lead to a two-year multiple-entry visa, and then a five-year one.
- 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 in any case moved to 2027.
- London: the UK needs its own visitor visa, applied online with biometrics at the UK visa centre in Mumbai. Do it after the Schengen passport comes back, allowing three to four weeks.
We prepare and submit your application and book the appointment; approval is at the embassy's discretion, and nobody can promise it. Refusal reasons and the full document list are in our Schengen visa guide for Indians.
Three Europe itineraries built on Mumbai's non-stops
7 nights / 9 days – Switzerland and Paris for a family (Swiss in, Air France out)
- Night 0: Leave home after an early dinner; the Swiss flight departs around 1 am.
- Day 1: Land in Zurich early morning; train to Lucerne, early check-in, then the old town and Chapel Bridge.
- Day 2: Mt Titlis by the rotating Rotair cable car, with the ice flyer and glacier cave for children.
- Day 3: Lucerne–Interlaken Express to Interlaken; Harder Kulm funicular before sunset.
- Day 4: Jungfraujoch by the Eiger Express, with the Sphinx terrace and the Ice Palace.
- Day 5: Lauterbrunnen and the Trümmelbach falls in the morning, then a TGV via Basel to Paris.
- Day 6: Eiffel Tower summit, a Seine cruise and the lights of the Champs-Élysées.
- Day 7: Disneyland Paris, or the Louvre and Montmartre for older children.
- Day 8: Versailles in the morning; evening Air France non-stop to Mumbai.
- Day 9: Land at Sahar in the small hours.
8 nights / 10 days – Greece for a honeymoon, on IndiGo's Athens flight
- Day 1: Land in Athens; rest, then an evening walk through Plaka below the floodlit Acropolis.
- Day 2: The Acropolis at opening time to beat the heat and the queues, the Acropolis Museum, sunset at Cape Sounion.
- Day 3: Fast ferry or a short flight to Mykonos; Little Venice and the windmills at dusk.
- Day 4: Beach day at Psarou or a boat to the island of Delos.
- Day 5: Ferry to Santorini; check in at a cave-style suite in Imerovigli or Oia.
- Days 6 – 7: Catamaran cruise to the volcano and hot springs, a winery visit, the walk from Fira to Oia for sunset.
- Day 8: Fly back to Athens; last dinner in the old town.
- Days 9 – 10: Non-stop home to Mumbai.
Greece is best from late April to mid-June and from September to mid-October. Island ferries thin out sharply from November to March, so we do not sell this route in winter. Greece is in Schengen, so the same visa covers it.
9 nights / 11 days – Bavaria and Austria at a senior-friendly pace (Lufthansa via Munich)
- Days 1 – 2: Arrive Munich at dawn; Marienplatz at an easy pace, then Neuschwanstein Castle by private car, with the horse carriage up the hill.
- Days 3 – 4: Innsbruck – the Golden Roof, the Nordkette cable car and Swarovski Crystal Worlds.
- Days 5 – 6: Salzburg and a slow day at Hallstatt by private car, with a lake cruise instead of the steep walk.
- Days 7 – 9: Train to Vienna – Schönbrunn Palace, the Ring tram, the Danube and an evening classical concert.
- Days 10 – 11: Train back to Munich for the late-morning flight; land in Mumbai close to midnight.
Every route above is private. Extended families and building or office friend circles from Mumbai can travel together as a private group on their own dates, with their own minivan or coach and driver.
Mumbai's calendar and the Europe seasons
Europe's best months line up well with Mumbai's year, and one of them – the monsoon – is a reason to go rather than a reason to stay home.
- May to mid-June: Maharashtra schools close and Switzerland is green and 12 – 22°C – and full of Indian families, so file the visa by February.
- June to September, the monsoon escape: while Mumbai floods, much of Europe is dry and warm. July and August are crowded and hot in Italy and Greece but fine in the Alps and Scandinavia. Monsoon weather can delay departures from BOM, so we avoid tight onward connections on these dates.
- After Ganeshotsav: Ganesh Chaturthi falls in early September 2027; the weeks after Anant Chaturdashi bring settled weather and lower hotel rates.
- Diwali: Lakshmi Puja falls on 29 October 2027; Diwali-week fares from Mumbai rise early, so book by July.
- Christmas and New Year: Christmas markets open from late November. Christmas Day 2026 and New Year's Day 2027 both fall on Fridays, which helps salaried travellers stretch their leave.
| Month | Europe | Mumbai angle | Price level |
|---|---|---|---|
| January – February | Snow in the Alps; quiet cities | Wedding season; honeymoons | Low |
| March | Early spring, 5 – 12°C | Financial year-end for many offices | Low to medium |
| April | Tulips in the Netherlands; Greece opening up | Gudi Padwa; exams end | Medium to high |
| May – June | All mountain lifts open, long evenings | Summer vacation; monsoon arrives in June | High |
| July – August | Hot in Italy and Greece, fine in the Alps | Peak monsoon at home | Highest in Europe |
| September | Settled and mild; Greek seas still warm | Ganeshotsav, then the best window | Medium |
| October | Autumn colour, 8 – 16°C | Navratri, Dussehra, Diwali late in 2027 | Medium; Diwali week high |
| November | Short grey days | Post-Diwali lull | Lowest |
| December | Christmas markets, snow in the mountains | Christmas week leave | High from about 20 December |
Food and practical tips for Mumbai travellers in Europe
A Mumbai family at one table may include a Jain grandmother, a teenager who wants pizza and an uncle who will not skip fish. Europe can feed all of them, with a little planning.
- Gujarati and Jain: London's Wembley and Harrow are the easiest places in Europe for Jain food. In Paris, Lucerne, Interlaken, Vienna, Rome and Athens, Indian restaurants will cook without onion, garlic or root vegetables if told a day ahead, and we write the requirement on each voucher. Mountain-top restaurants on Titlis or Jungfraujoch have very little, so carry khakhra, thepla and dry snacks.
- Halal: Paris, London, Amsterdam, Munich and Vienna have plenty of halal restaurants, many Turkish or North African; in Swiss resort towns the choice is thin, so Bohra, Khoja and other Muslim families usually eat vegetarian or seafood there. Greece has halal options in central Athens but fewer on the islands.
- Fish lovers: Greek island tavernas grill fresh fish and octopus, Venice does seafood risotto, and Amsterdam sells raw herring from street carts. None of it is spicy; a small bottle of Malvani masala or green chutney helps.
- Marathi and Parsi favourites: you will not find misal, vada pav or dhansak outside London. Pack chivda, ladoo and ready-to-eat poha cups; most hotels allow a small kettle.
Practical notes
- Clothes: Mumbai's year-round 25 – 34°C leaves most people without winter wear. Even in May you need thermals, a windproof jacket and gloves for a glacier; in Greece in summer you need a hat and sunscreen instead.
- Money: a forex card loaded with euros, plus Swiss francs or pounds if those countries are on the route, and a little cash in each. Tell your bank before you travel.
- Pickpockets: the Paris and Rome metros need the same caution as a crowded local at Dadar.

How much does a Europe tour package from Mumbai 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 Mumbai 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 Mumbai?
As of November 2026, Mumbai has non-stops to Zurich (Swiss), Munich (Lufthansa), Frankfurt (Lufthansa and Air India), Paris (Air France), Amsterdam (KLM and IndiGo), London Heathrow (Air India, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic) and Athens (IndiGo); Copenhagen also appears in current listings. Schedules change each season, so we confirm what operates on your dates.
How long is the flight from Mumbai to Europe?
About 8½ to 10 hours non-stop: roughly 8½ hours to Munich, 9 hours to Zurich or Frankfurt and about 10 hours to London. Most flights leave between midnight and 2.30 am and land in the early morning. Central Europe is 4½ hours behind India in winter and 3½ hours behind in summer.
Do you run group tours to Europe from Mumbai?
No. Every Europe trip we plan is private and customised – your family or friends only, on dates you choose, with trains or a private vehicle and centrally located hotels. If several families from your building or office want to go together, they travel as one private group with their own coach and driver.
Where do Mumbai residents apply for a Schengen visa?
At the VFS Global centres in Mumbai for most Schengen countries, and at BLS International for Spain. Many Schengen states have consulates in Mumbai that decide applications from Maharashtra and Goa. We choose the country from your itinerary, book the appointment and check the file before you go.
How early should a Mumbai family plan a Europe trip for the May vacation?
Start in December. Visa appointments in Mumbai for April to June fill up from January, and Swiss hotels in Lucerne and Interlaken sell out early in May. Book flights by February or March. Families who begin in April often find no visa slot before their travel date.
Can I fly to Europe from Navi Mumbai airport?
Not non-stop. Navi Mumbai International Airport opened for domestic flights on 25 December 2025 and started international flights on 15 July 2026, but as of November 2026 those go only to the Gulf. A one-stop ticket via Abu Dhabi is possible; for non-stops to Europe, use Terminal 2 at Sahar.
Is Greece a good choice for a Europe honeymoon from Mumbai?
Yes, between late April and mid-October. IndiGo flies non-stop to Athens about three times a week, and eight nights covers Athens, Mykonos and Santorini. Greece is in Schengen, so the normal Schengen visa applies. In winter many island hotels and ferries close, so we suggest Switzerland or Paris then.
What time do flights from Europe land in Mumbai?
Many land late at night, between about 11 pm and 2 am; Lufthansa from Munich, for example, arrives close to midnight. That gives you a full last day in Europe, but plan a pre-booked car home, especially with children or seniors, rather than queueing for a taxi.
Is Jain and halal food available on a Europe trip?
Jain meals, yes, at Indian restaurants with a day's notice, and easily in London's Wembley and Harrow. Halal food is common in Paris, London, Amsterdam, Munich and Vienna but scarce in Swiss mountain towns. We note every meal requirement in writing on hotel and restaurant vouchers.
Do you have an office in Mumbai?
No. Vibrant Holidays is based on C G Road, Ahmedabad, and our team plans Mumbai trips on WhatsApp, phone or video call, Monday to Saturday. You receive the itinerary and quote as a PDF, pay online against an invoice, and get visa papers, tickets and vouchers before departure, with 24×7 support during the trip.
