Heya me and a few friends are going interrailing and i wondered if anyone had any comments or experience about these places or this travel route and any advice, tips or things to see/look out for (as well as ways to get from each country to the next) would be much appreciated :D

Wer are travelling from our home town to london via train (we live in the UK) and then getting the Eurostar to paris.

then:

Paris-Barcelona
Barcelona-Rome
Rome-Zagreb
Zagreb-Plitvice
Plitvice-Amsterdam
Amsterdam-Hull (couple hours bus from home)

any advice on the best route from one country to another? :D

thanks xxx
Ben

Hi.

Some useful links for you....

[b]Schedule planer[/b][u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]

[b]Supplements[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation[/u]
[b]Country topics[/b] with details about night trains, connections and so on: [u]https://rail.cc/en/countries[/u]

[b]Paris-Barcelona[/b]:
I recommend the route trough the Pyrenees: [u]https://rail.cc/en/paris-pyrenees-barcelona-le-petit-tain-jaune/f4023[/u]
Faster but more expensive: https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/france/fr

[b]Barcelona-Rome[/b]: have a stop in between, for example in Nice...
[u]https://rail.cc/en/train/marseille-to-nice[/u]
In Italy use IC trains instead of the expensive Eurostar Italia trains.

[b]Rome-Zagreb[/b]:
via Venice, then either by direct night train: [u]https://rail.cc/en/venice-belgrade-night-train/f3307[/u]
or during the day using the fast, cheap and non-official way via Ljubljana:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/venice-ljubljana-train/f3664[/u]
[u]https://rail.cc/en/ljubljana-zagreb-train/f4001[/u]

[b]Zagreb-Plitvice[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/zagreb-plitvice-plitvicka-jezera/f4296[/u]

[b]Plitvice-Amsterdam[/b]: depends on which cities you want to add as a stop...
A fast and relaxing way is from Zagreb: [u]https://rail.cc/en/zagreb-amsterdam-train/f4727[/u]

[b]Amsterdam-Hull[/b]: from Rotterdam (you can easily reach it by free Regional and IC trains from Amsterdam) by P&O ferry to Hull.
Or to Harwich: [u]https://rail.cc/en/ferry-netherlands-england/f1659[/u]

I hope this will help you planing your trip.
