Hi,
I am looking to go interrailling summer 2010 but as I have never done this before I was wondering if the route I am thinking of is do-able? It is by no means fixed so any advice would be much appreciated!
Fly from UK to Amsterdam - Berlin ( make way south maybe to Munich etc to..) - Austria (Salzburg, Vienna) - Hungary (Budapest) - Croatia (Zagreb, Dubrovnik, Split) - Italy (Rome, Venice, Florence, maybe part of the Lakes) - Switzerland - France - fly from Paris back to UK.
Thanks!

Hi Katie ...
It depends on your ticket... if you want to do this within 10 days or a month. I definitely recommend a stay of at least 3 days in a city to get a feeling of it.
So if you travel on a 22 days pass or 1 month pass, your travel route is a good one.
[b]Amsterdam - Berlin[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/amsterdam-to-berlin[/u]
[b]Berlin - Munich[/b]: by free day ICE or CNL night train: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/berlin-to-munich[/u]
[b]Munich via Salzburg to Vienna[/b]: by free day trains (IC, ICE or Railjet)
[b]Vienna - Budapest[/b]: by free day train: take a direct one like the Railjet, as if you use a train connection with a change in Hungary, you have to pay a supplement (international direct trains are free!!)
[b]Budapest - Croatia[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/budapest-venice-night-train/f1387[/u]
There are different possibilities. Ljubljana is definitely worth to stay as well.
[b]Italy - Switzerland[/b]: you can do it by day trains, pay attention to the Italian supplements: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/italy/it[/u]
[b]Switzerland - France[/b] is the best by direct TGV Lyra train: https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/france/fr
Have fun planing your tour, Peter :)
