Hello Friends. I have a plan to travel europe in 22 days time with interrail. I will start from Warsaw and end it again in Warsaw. I will take a plane to Copenhagen from Warsaw in 12th May and starting my train journey over there. And after 11 cities my last stop will be Berlin and from there i will take a bus to Warsaw. This is the route i will follow:
1-Copenhagen (1 night)
2-Hamburg (1 night)
3-Amsterdam (2 nights)
4-Brussels or Brugge (1 night)
5-Paris (2 nights)
6-Barcelona (2 nights)
7-Florence (2 nights)
8-Rome (2 nights)
9-Venice (1 night)
10-Munich (2 nights)
11-Berlin (2 nights)
I will buy a 22 days flexi ticket. I have 10 days travel time so will be using it like this. Some cities are close it each other but some don't. I am now searching for best possible route option and train option that i will take. But in some cities(like Barcelona to Florence) i think it takes two days travel time not one so if i want to do this travel i have to cancel one of the cities that i will visit(possibly brussels). But i am not quite sure about that now i am still searching.
So in order to create a best plan can you give me an advice? Is this route okay for planning or should i change it? Do i have to cancel a one or two trips?

Hi!
The route is ok but as you said you would need two travel days to get from Barcelona to Florence. However you could think about taking the ferry from Barcelona to Livorno and get to Florence from there.
The rest of the route looks good; from Paris to Barcelona I would recommend taking the overnight train to Latour de Carol or Portbou; maybe also include the Petit Train Jaune: [u]https://rail.cc/blog/little-yellow-train-video/[/u]

You can/could use nighttrains:
Ham-Ams, (not that convenient, change next morning in Dusseldorf or Köln), Paris-FR/ES border (Port Bou), ROma-VNz, Vnz-MUC and on some days from there to B. read about nighttrain rule: depart after 19.00 and only fill out next day.
You can get that extra travelday for Barca-Firenze by using BUS AMS-BRU, this can be as low as just 5 eur (try megabus=same as Polskibus; or Eurolines). or finish in MUC with IR and use megabus M-B and from there the Polskibus Then you have some more days for train travel-total time is longer.
IMHO Brugge is much more to see as Brussel-if you want large cities, take Antwerpen in stead of BRU.

Well i searched the ferry option but it is only in 13th may and 20th may and other tuesdays. In those dates i will be in barcelona so i cant take the ferry option. And because of that i think i am going to take a train for 2 days but there is lots of options. I am still searching for the best but do you know any good possible ways to go to florence from barcelona (some route options has 6 to 8 hours waiting time it is too long and i prefer taking night train in those times not sitting in station)?

There is no night train on that route. You can travel along the mediterranean coast for example to Marseille or better to Nice, stay there and continue the other day to Florence.

I find some train options to amsterdam from hamburg but it is not direct i have to get of at osnabruck and then get in another train that goes to amsterdam. Is has 15 minutes of waiting time between two trains. Others are waiting to long but i didnt searched for the köln or duss. options i searched in general. Are you saying that i should look at those options or i should go to köln or duss. rather than hamburg?
And i didnt understand that -Paris-FR/ES border (Port Bou), ROma-VNz, Vnz-MUC and on some days from there to B.- part. Can you explain what you meant? And one other thing what is IMHO (ın IMHO Brugge part)?

IMHO = in my humble opinion...
