Hey there,
my girlfriend and I are planning on spending some time travelling in September. We figured out a route but we have no idea if we can make this in 22 days. Not even in a month.
The plan is to fly from Frankfurt to Madrid and start there. Spend some time in Madrid, take the night train to Paris. Another 2 days there and off to Amsterdam. After a - probably pretty short - stay in Amsterdam, we want to head to Kopenhagen from where we go to Stockholm the day after. Another 2 or 3 days in Sweden and we will take the ferry to Helsinki, where we want to stay 2 days before heading to Warsaw via Tallin, Riga and Vilnius. No stays there. From Warsaw we want to go on to Prague, spend another few days there and go back to Frankfurt.
Now my questions:
1. What does your experience say? Is it realistic to do that route in 22 days or a month?
2. I could not find a connection Kopenhagen - Oslo. Is there one?
I've been reading in this board for like 8 hours now and I must say..you guys really rock. It must be a hell lot of work keeping all that stuff up tp date and answering all these questions. Thanks a lot for that. You already made our journey alooooot easier.

Hi Felix...
It is really a big tour - you can do it... maybe think about skipping Madrid. But depends on you... :)
One other thing: I suppose your country of residence is Germany. Right?
Keep in mind that you can NOT travel for free in Germany then, you only get a small discount to leave Germany and to coming back home to Frankfurt.
I recommend you for your travel back home to buy an Europa-Spezial-Polen of Deutsche Bahn which you can get for 29 EUR one way. But you have to book early in advance and you are fixed on date and train. But it is worth to safe money.

IMPORTANT: the night train Amsterdam-Copenhagen will cross Germany so you will have to pay for the German part.
The cheapest option will be to buy a special price ticket for this train.
Details to all the connections are in the country topics:

To your questions:
1) Like I said above. It is a lot, buy you can do it.
Better to spent some more days in the Baltic countries than in Madrid, as in Eastern Europe it is extremely cheap to stay and to have fun.
