Hi! I'm planning our second interrail and have a problem can't solve by myself...

I was thinking to start from Finland, then trough Stockholm, Copenhagen and Amsterdam to Belgium (Gent). Then I'll take a Brussels - Zurich train and hop off in Metz and continue to Nancy (I think there will be some local train connections?). But then...

Our next destination is actually Italy (depending on weather, either Garda-lake or Rimini), but I'd love to travel across Switzerland (fast, so not any landscape-routes, but I think that there is beautiful everywhere, also on normal routes?).

I have no idea how that would be best to arrange, could you help? :|

Is my only option to take Nancy - Strasbourg - Basel - Milan route? A lot of changes and I hate 'em. :(( :D

I'd appreciate also advice other routes from Nancy to anywhere in Italy, also even if it's not going trough Switzerland.

Aaaaand my plans changed...

Maybe we should fly from Finland to Budapest, then continue by train to Ljubljana, Venice, then Garda/Rimini and I suppose to Verona or Milano.

So my question actually is how to get from northern Italy to Nancy?

Sorry... :os

Best option will be to go through Switzerland:

Milano - Basel (on a direct EC train, 11€ reservation)
Basel - Strasbourg (frequent (half hourly) fast trains)
Strasbourg - Nacny (frequent regional trains)

If you want to avoid the 11€ reservation you can use regional trains until the IT <> CH border which is Brig Domodossola for the trains Milano - Basel and Chiasso for Milano - Zürich trains.

Metz-Nancy (actually most start in LUX) Metrolor Trains run ev 30/60 mins, Nancy-Strasbg is now about 2 hourly with TER-used to be the main route from Paris untill TGV came.
