This is our itinerary for 22 days travel - Paris, Zurich, Florence, Zagreb, Budapest, Vienna, Krakow, Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam.

Since we are covering a large amount of ground we want to get night trains for most of the journeys, is it possible to get night trains between all of these places. If so, could you give any ideas of prices of night trains? Also any other places you think we should fit in? Many thanks.

much better is make resevation some time before travel because later can be some problem e.g. there will not be free place. moreover trains have some amount of places for IR holders.

seats are not in every night train!! so sometimes you will have to choose couchette.

if i were you i would call die bahn call center(sometimes they speak english) and make reservation for all trains. if you are not in germany you will pay 3,5euro for sending tickets to you(it take 3-4days).
