Hi!

We've just made our travel plan and we're trying to find out if there are night trains in each connection so we can save some time... but with some of them we're still in doubt... so can you please help us?!

Here's how plan:

- Paris
- Amsterdam
- Prague
- Krakow
- Vienna
- Budapest
- Ljubljana
- Zagreb
- Split - Ancona
- Rome
- Florence
- Venice
- after that will just go to Lisbon (our home town) making some spontaneous stops!

Of course this is all flexible so we're open to other suggestions!

Thanks a lot :)

Hi Joana ...

just use the train schedules and you will see if there are night trains or not: [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]
as well have a look here at the country topics of the forum to find the supplements for the night trains.

some extra information:

[b]Paris - Amsterdam[/b]: day connections - no night train: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/paris-to-amsterdam[/u]
[b]Amsterdam - Prague[/b]: CNL - [u]https://rail.cc/en/amsterdam-prague-night-train/f3747[/u]
[b]Prague - Krakow[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/prague-warsaw-night-train/f1443[/u]
[b]Krakow - Vienna[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/krakow-vienna-night-train/f1903[/u]
[b]Vienna - Budapest[/b]: day train - [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/hungary/hu[/u] - avoid the ICs in Hungar - use a free direct train (EC, Railjet) with no supplements
[b]Budapest - Ljubljana[/b]: 1) take a train to travel via Vienna to Salzburg and jump on the night train Munich-Zagreb. It will be a sleep of 6 hours then - not really worth. Better to use a day train connection! or 2) [u]https://rail.cc/en/zagreb-venice-night-train/f1389[/u]
[b]Ljubljana - Zagreb[/b]: day train of 2 hours
[b]Zagreb - Split[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/split-rijeka-vienna-night-train/f1909[/u]
[b]Split - Ancona[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/ferry-croatia-italy/f2339[/u]

...and for Italy, have a look at the [b]Italy forum[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/forum-italy-train-travel[/u]

so you see, everything is here on the website !! ;)

Hi! :) You really like this don't you Peter? Thank you so much for your help, it seems easy when you show it that way but finding all these answers was getting really hard!

Ok, so I just have one more question... the TRAIN SCHEDULE looks simple, but for example... if I want to go from Paris to Amsterdam and want to avoid paying supplements... what should I do? 'Cause everytime I try it there's always the thalys to mess everything up! :P I've already seen your suggestion at the forum link, but just so I can try it for myself and give you some rest... how should I do? Do you use some map with the stops throughout the way and try each at a time...?

Thanks again!!! Kiss*
