Right, here goes, and thanks in advance for any advice!
I have approx £1000, and that needs to include a flight back, but not travel to Paris.
I'll be staying in Paris for 3 nights from August 10th-13th, and then my 22 day pass (10 in 22) will kick in, and my proposed route is;
Paris - Milan - Rome - Munich - Budapest - Belgrade - Zagreb - Split - Vienna (book flight home).
I know these are expensive cities, so basically I was just wanting to know if I can afford them all or if I should look to visit more cities in eastern Europe?
Also, as quite a few of the journeys will be on night trains, will any be booked up fast or will it be ok to buy the reservations at the station the same day?
Thanks a lot!!

Hi.
If you want to save money and stay in cheap hostels think about avoiding the Italian part, travel Paris - Munich or Berlin (possible by night train), then Prague, Krakow followed by the other cities you mentioned.
Find cheap hostels at [ux]https://rail.shop/hostelworld[/ux]
Night trains (and possibilities on who to book them in advance) are mentioned at the country topics:

In summer sometimes they are full very fast - sometimes not - so I can't promise you anything.

Hey thanks for the reply!
I've switched my plans slightly, flying to Warsaw and starting there now. I think the slightly more expensive flight than Eurostar will be made up by Warsaw being cheaper, and it's in a pretty good location to just stick mainly to east Europe.
Booked a hostel in Warsaw for two nights, but other than that nothings booked so far. Kinda scary, but very exciting!
