You’ll board your ferry in Dover next and cross to Calais, travelling north through the endless plains of Belgium and the Netherlands to Amsterdam. If you can tear your eyes from its scenic canals, you’ll be staring at the city’s teetering gabled homes that proclaim their birth year with pride on their colourful façades.

A quick stop in Schaffhausen means there’s time to capture the cascading waters of Rhine Falls, Europe’s biggest waterfall, before you arrive in the scenic region of Lake Lucerne.
