Hello, noob post here. I'm using the 10-in-22 interrail pass with three other friends and this is our current route:
Paris-Barcelona-Genoa-Milan-Llubljana-Budapest-Vienna-Prague-Berlin-Amsterdam
Does this seem a bit much? We are spending about 5 days in Amsterdam (after the pass has expired), 4 days in Barcelona and Berlin, maybe 3 days a few places then most 2 or 1 day(s).
We are starting end of June and going through July. I'm quite vague on how to do the reservations and which trains need them. Also, does anyone know the best way to get from Barcelona to Genoa? We have free accommodation in Genoa and Milan through an Italian connection, but that route from Barcelona seems a bit difficult.
This place seems very helpful so I may be abusing it with a barrage of questions, I would be very grateful with even the slightest input from anyone. Thanks guys

Hi.
Easy to do.
Have a look at the following links...
Paris-Barcelona: the best is including a French night train, maybe as well the Little Yellow Train: [u]https://rail.cc/blog/little-yellow-train-video/[/u]
Barcelona-Italy: either along the French coast with an overnight stop in Nice. Pay attention to use trains free of extra reservation fees: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/barcelona-to-nice[/u]
Or use the ferry: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-ferry/spain/es[/u]
Italy-Slovenia: [u]https://rail.cc/blog/travel-lake-bled-train/[/u]
In general have a look at the railcc schedules to avoid reservation fees: [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]

Thank you very much for going through the effort of giving all the links.
I find the little yellow train interesting, but it seems too slow all the way from Paris to Barcelona. Could you do half on a normal train then half on the scenic train?
And is there anyway of doing the trip from Barcelona to Genoa in one day if we pay a surcharge?

Hi!
No, you have to travel the whole route of the Petit Train Jaune or skip it altogether. But the available connections with the night train from Paris to Latour de Carol or Perpignan, then Yellow Train and continue to Barcelona are not that bad in my opinion. :)
Barcelona - Genoa is possible by train within one day however you would have to use two TGV trains which will be around 20€ for reservations minimum.
