Me and my girlfriend are going to be interrailing together in the summer. Our route is: Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Venice, Florence, Rome, Milan, Nice, Marseille and Barcelona. Would you recommend purchasing any passes/skip the queue for attractions in any of these places. E.g Paris pass or Rome pass.

Hi!

Personally I never used fast track passes/tickets and very seldom city passes (such as Paris visite).
From my experience I could imagine fast track passes being convenient at Eiffel Tower (however if you choose the stairs to get up to the first or second platform you dont have to wait too long either) and the Vatican.
Generally I dont visit classic tourist attractions too often, instead I prefer walking through the city and looking for hiddem gems off the beaten track. Thats why I almost never use tourist passes/tickets - they often pay off only if you visit lots of sights/museums which then leaves you with not much time to go to markets, parks, cafes etc...
