Hi there

A couple of friends and I are going inter-railing at the end of June, and like most people, we want to keep down the costs so that means as few supplements as possible! I was wondering about the following route and trains and see if there'll be any unexpected surprises we had'nt been planning for

Frankfurt - Dresden ICE

Dresden - Prague (This ones a bit tricky)
Its kind of an overnight route with a bit of waiting and a few changes
Dresden - Zittau RE 17037
Zittau - Liberec Os 6021
Liberec - Turnov R 983
Turnov - Prague R 1137

Prague - Vienna EC
We expect a 7€ supplement on this one?

Vienna - Budapest RJ

Budapest - Belgrade D 341
This is an overnight train

Belgrade - Thessaloniki D 335
Another night train

Theesaloniki - Athens IC

Athens - Patras IC

Patras - Bari by ferry

Bari - Naples IC, E

Naples - Rome ES

Thanks!

Hi.

Supplements like this (if I don't mention one of your connections, it is free):

[b]Dresden-Prague[/b]: use a free EC train (the ones going from Berlin to Prague). It is a travel time of 2 hours.

[b]Prague-Vienna[/b]: EC - EUR 7 supplement

Free connection:
Praha hl.n. Dep: 1239 | free IC train
Breclav Arr: 1557

Breclav Dep: 1625 | free Regional train
Wien Praterstern Arr: 1745

[b]Budapest-Belgrade[/b]:

[b]Belgrade-Thessaloniki[/b]:

[b]Theesaloniki-Athens[/b]:
Attention as Greece IC trains may have high supplements. Ask before in Thessaloniki for the cheapest option.

[b]Athens-Patras[/b]:

[b]Italy[/b]:
Pay attention to the supplements. Often you will find free IC connections. Avoid the Eurostar trains in Italy (supplement EUR 10).
