Hi guys,
Hope you can help me please, this is the first time i am interrailing and i am hoping to go from Nice to Amsterdam in 2 and a half weeks. Firstly do you think this is possible in that amount of time, and secondly could someone please give me advice on what trains and how long roughly each will take to my destinations.
We are flying from London to Nice then the plan is as follows:
NICE -> ROME
ROME -> VENICE (Been doing some research and hear you can fly for around £20-30, might save a few hours?)
VENICE -> MUNICH
MUNICH -> PRAGUE
PRAGUE -> BERLIN
BERLIN - > AMSTERDAM
Does this route sound possible and if so how easy/difficult will this be. Bear in mind we only have 2 and a half weeks..
what do you think? ANY advice will be really appreciated!
Thank you very much
David

Hi David.
A good route for about 2 1/2 weeks.
You could even add one more city. For example Vienna or Krakow in Poland.
For exact train schedules and travel times, use the schedule planer: [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]
Most connections are listed at the country topics here at the forum .
For supplements check this: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation[/u]
[b]Nice-Rome[/b]: by day trains / use the schedule planer
Nice Ville Dep: 0523 | free Regional train
Ventimiglia Arr: 0612
Ventimiglia Dep: 0633 | free IC train - reservation recommended: EUR 3
Roma Ostiense Arr: 1400
[b]Rome-Venice[/b]: day trains / use the schedule planer
You have frequent EUROSTAR Italia trains. Journey time: 3:20h - supplement EUR 10
Or as well free IC trains. Journey time ~6:00h
[b]Venice-Munich[/b]: for example by night train - [u]https://rail.cc/en/night-train/venice-munich-cnl40236/36[/u]

Thank you that is very helpful!
Just a few quick questions, if i was to pre book trains, what does the I.R ticket come under? i was browsing through the German and French train website and couldnt see the option which i would want?
Also, if i wanted to pop in to budapest on my travels, from which country would be the easiest on my route for me to then carry on..
Thank you

Most of the night trains you can't book online. You will have to do this at a station some where on your tour.
Read here for more details (in France it isn't possible, in Germany it is): [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation[/u]
You could add Budapest after Venice - for Venice I recommend only a short stop, as it is very expensive. Better to have only a stop of one day in Venice and add instead for example Ljubljana.
Venice-Budapest: [u]https://rail.cc/en/venice-budapest-night-train/f1487[/u]
Budapest-Vienna-Munich: [u]https://rail.cc/en/budapest-vienna-munich-train-railje/f4070[/u]
Venice-Ljubljana: [u]https://rail.cc/en/venice-ljubljana-train/f3664[/u]
