Hey guys,
I am looking to go travelling for the first time in July of this year, I was thinking of getting the 10 day travel pass within 22 days.
How many places do you think is enough to visit in this space of time?
I would really like to plan a route starting and ending in Paris involving- Nice, Rome, Venice, Barcelona, Amsterdam.
I realise it wouldn't be in this order.
Can anyone suggest a route for me? ALSO involving as many night trains as possible as to try and safe on accomodation
Any help would be great,thanks!
Lucy :D

Hi Lucy.
With a 10 days in 22 ticket, I would visit 8-10 places. So you have 2 or 3 nights per place. Always stay for at least 2 nights at a place otherwise you are only in a hurry and only rush trough the cities.
A good way to save travel days is first to stay some days in Paris (fly to Paris or what ever), and start from there interrailing.
Just an example route could be:
[b]Paris - Amsterdam - Berlin - Prague - Munich - Venice - Rome - Nice - Barcelona - Petit Train Jaune (Pyrenees) - Paris[/b]
So you have to option to add as well some more stops like Krakow (Poland) or Vienna (Austria) which are on your way.
If this is a route you can imagine, I will give you further details.

Thanks for your help, that route sounds really good, includes everywhere I wanted to go!
That's also a good idea about activating the pass once in Paris, as I can easily get the Eurostar.
If you have any further details I would be very interested :)

Hi Lucy...
Then let's have a look on the details... :)
Using the EUROSTAR with InterRail isn't cheap as it is a private owned company. So better (like you said) using the Eurostar with a normal ticket (book them in advance and you can get really good offers!), stay some days in Paris and start then from there interrailing.
So you even save some of your travel days.
Information [b]Eurostar[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/london-paris-eurostar-train/f1805[/u]
Additional information [b]ferry[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/ferry-london-paris-england-france/f1222[/u]
To your route - these are only examples - of course there are much more connections. Just use the [b]route planer[/b]:

[b]Paris-Amsterdam[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/paris-to-amsterdam[/u]
[b]Amsterdam-Berlin[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/amsterdam-berlin-train/f2346[/u]
[b]Berlin-Prague[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/berlin-prague-train/f3361[/u]
[b]Prague-Munich[/b]: by direct and free day trains. If you want, have a stop in [b]Nürnberg[/b]. Definitely worth, nice caste (youth hostel inside of the castle)
[b]Munich-Venice[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/night-train/munich-zagreb-en-499/151[/u]
[b]Venice-Rome-Nice[/b]: have a look at the topic Italy. There are night trains but as well a lot of day train connections:

[b]Barcelona-Paris[/b] by using the Petit Train Jaune: [u]https://rail.cc/blog/little-yellow-train-video/[/u]
I hope all this will help you. You see, you can use a lot of night trains. Some you can book in advance, but I recommend you to make some reservations already in Paris or Amsterdam, as in the summer months, night trains are often full.

Thank you, Peter :)
