Hey, I'm planning a trip for at least 2 people and we're thinking of starting off in Northern Spain to stay with a friend for a few days, then moving down to Barcelona for a day or two, up to Switzerland for maybe two days, on to a quick stop in Luxembourg, and then spending about a week or so in Germany-focusing on Koln and Berlin. Then on to Denmark, and the rest of Scandinavia through that.

Basically, I'm looking for information on everything. Never Interrailed before, or even traveled really. Any information on good things to see along this route, suggestions of transport to take, rough estimates of travel cost, etc would be really helpful. It would also be quite important to know if people see this as a viable trip, and if anyone has any suggestions for how it could be altered to improve it for us.

Thanks in advance!

And then just check the country topics of the Scandinavian countries you will visit.
