Sicilian Dreams – from Denmark to Sicily

Sicilian dreams – train journey through Europe to Sicily

Join an unforgettable train journey from Denmark to Sicily and experience the diversity of Europe on the way to the Mediterranean’s largest island.
This 11-day round trip takes you through iconic cities such as Hamburg, Vienna, Venice, and Rome before you arrive in Sicily.
Here you can choose between the charming coastal towns of Cefalu or Taormina, both offering unique experiences.
As a result, the journey combines cultural highlights, scenic rail routes, and the natural beauty of southern Italy.

The journey flow – from historic cities to the Mediterranean

The journey begins by train in Denmark and continues with a night train from Hamburg to Vienna.
Here you can enjoy grand architecture, elegant cafes, and a timeless atmosphere.
Afterwards, the route continues to romantic Venice, where canals and historic streets create a unique setting.

Next, you travel with the high-speed Frecciarossa train to Rome.
Here ancient landmarks and modern city life blend together naturally.
Then the journey continues by train and ferry to Sicily, where you can stay in either Cefalu or Taormina.
For example, Cefalu offers relaxed beaches and a charming atmosphere, while Taormina is known for historic character and views towards Mount Etna.

Finally, the journey ends with a flight home, although the itinerary can naturally be customised according to your wishes.

Highlights:

  • Vienna: Discover imperial palaces, elegant cafes, and classical music in the Austrian capital.
  • Venice: Experience iconic canals and timeless atmosphere in one of Europe’s most unique cities.
  • Rome: Explore the Colosseum, the Vatican, and the historic city centre.
  • Cefalu or Taormina: Choose between relaxed beaches in Cefalu or historic charm and views of Mount Etna in Taormina.
  • Train ferry to Sicily: Experience one of the last remaining train ferries in Europe on the route to Sicily.
