I think the questions that i have are related to this and i have a somewhat similar itinerary too.

Now i have two questions!
1. The 'Continue by public transport' part in above stretch is by foot or what ? I dont really understand what does that mean. Sorry for being too dumb if its too obvious for some of you.
2. There are two trains in that stretch that must be reserved. Does one pay supplement for both of them at the beginning of journey ? Lets suppose 5 Euro for each means 10 Euros for the whole stretch ?
Thanks,
Minhaaj

Hi Minhaaj.
This is maybe the fastest connection you selected, but as well an expensive one.
Always check the [b]schedule planer[/b]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route
And compare it with the [b]supplements[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation[/u]
How to [b]buy reservations online[/b] if possible: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation[/u]
Roma - Milano: by EUROSTAR Italia = supplement of EUR 10
Milano - Barcelona: by direct night trains (expensive!): [u]https://rail.cc/en/milan-barcelona-night-train/f1168[/u]
Barcelona - Valencia: by Alaris - supplement EUR 6,50
If you want to [b]save money[/b], you will have to do it in [b]two steps with a break for example in Nice[/b].
Then the next day via the [b]Pyrenees by the Petit Train Jaune[/b] to Barcelona and on to Valencia.
[u]https://rail.cc/en/paris-pyrenees-barcelona-le-petit-tain-jaune/f4023[/u]
[u]https://rail.cc/en/petit-train-jaune-latour-de-carol/f1343[/u]
Other solution is by [b]ferry Roma-Barcelona[/b] and then to Valencia:
Civitavecchia (very close to Rome) – Barcelona
[u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/italy/it[/u]
And if you want to do it all by train, [b]the fast way[/b], check this solution (so you [b]avoid at least the public transport[/b] parts AND the [b]supplement for the Eurostar Italia[/b]):
Roma Termini dep: 1236 | free IC train
Milano Centrale arr: 1915
Milano Centrale dep: 1940 | by night train: [u]https://rail.cc/en/milan-barcelona-night-train/f1168[/u]
Girona arr: 0818
Girona dep: 0847 | free IR train
Barcelona Sants arr: 1009
Barcelona Sants dep: 1100 | by Alaris train - supplement EUR 6,5011:00
Valencia Estacio d.N arr: 1430
