Trip-Length Planner Enter your countries, days and pace: get a night-by-night split between the bases our designers recommend. How it works Most first trips to Europe fail the same way: too many places, one night each, half the trip spent in stations. The fix is **bases**: two or three nights in a well-placed town, with day trips around it. This planner takes your countries, your days and your pace, and splits the nights the way our designers do when they build a trip. It also tells you honestly when the time is too short, and what to cut. *Outil interactif disponible sur la page : https://www.mobeeinternational.com/tools/how-many-days-in-europe* Our designers’ advice Once you have a split, check the trains between bases on our [Europe by train guide](https://www.mobeeinternational.com/articles/ultimate-guide-traveling-europe-by-train), and compare with our [10-day France](https://www.mobeeinternational.com/countries/france/10-days) and [7-day Switzerland](https://www.mobeeinternational.com/countries/switzerland/7-days) itineraries. When you send us a request, we start from your split and adapt it to your dates. ## Read next [All articles](https://www.mobeeinternational.com/articles) ![Moulin Rouge](/_astro/01M5J4124TQYG5HH510TEWQK5E.Cx0_3HmN_Z1qvqBw.webp) ### [How Many Days in Paris? 3, 4 and 5-Day Plans from Locals](https://www.mobeeinternational.com/articles/how-many-days-in-paris) How many days in Paris is enough?

Ten days is the minimum for a satisfying first trip: three nights in Paris, two in Lucerne or Interlaken, two in Zermatt, and a night on Lake Geneva on the way. Fourteen days adds Provence or the French Riviera without rushing. ### Is one week enough for Switzerland? Yes, for one region. Lucerne, the Jungfrau region and Zermatt fit in seven days with two nights each. Adding the Glacier Express to St. Moritz needs nine or ten days. ### How many countries in two weeks? Two, three if they are neighbors and you accept one-night stops. Paris to Lucerne is 4 h 45 by direct train; Zurich to Milan is 3 h 20. More than three countries in 14 days means more time in transit than on site. ### Do you count arrival and departure days? Yes, as half days. Transatlantic flights land in the morning and leave at midday, so the first and last days are mostly for transfers and settling in.
