Hi, i'm looking for ideas for a route that can be done within 16 days, preferrably spending 2 days in each city, so maybe just 5 stops.
We are interested in visiting the following places, but would like to know which would be the best route to take using any of these cities:
Split (& possibly some of the islands around Split)
Dubrovnik (though 1 city in Croatia would do, so Split would be preferable)
Prague
Krakow
Budapest
Paris
Amsterdam - preferrably finishing in Amsterdam as we will catch a flight back to Ireland from there.
If anyone has anymore city suggestions that may make this a better route, it would be welcomed also!
(btw, we are 3 females, all over 26 - thanks!) :D

Hi.
[b]Dubrovnik[/b] doesn't has a railway station - you will have to catch a bus in between Split and Dubrovnik.
From [b]Split[/b] you can travel to [b]Zagreb[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/night-train/zagreb-split-b821/129[/u]
[b]Split-Budapest[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/split-budapest-night-train/f4047[/u]
Also possible by day train.
All the information I give you are only examples. There are much more available using the [b]schedule planer[/b]:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]
Budapest-Krakow:
Krakow-Prague:
Then I recommend you to continue from [b]Prague to Berlin[/b] as it is only something about 3 hours - and Berlin has a lot of good and cheap hostels and is really worth to see!
From Berlin you have as well better connections to Paris or Amsterdam.
Direct night train [b]Prague-Amsterdam[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/prague-amsterdam-night-train/f3748[/u]
[b]Prague-Berlin[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/prague-berlin-train/f3360[/u]
[b]Berlin-Paris[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/berlin-paris-train/f2545[/u]
[b]Berlin-Amsterdam[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/berlin-amsterdam-train/f2407[/u]
[b]Amsterdam-Paris[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/amsterdam-paris-train/f1472[/u]
[b]Paris-Amsterdam[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/paris-to-amsterdam[/u]
Now it is your turn in which way you want to travel, first Amsterdam or Paris. :)
I hope this information will help you planing your trip.

Thank you so much - i've been to Berlin, but i'd gladly go again!
That's great information though - i wouldn't have a clue what route to take at all :)

If you don't want to stay overnight in Berlin, I recommend to travel in the morning from Prague to Berlin, stay there during the day (go for example in the corner of Friedrichshain with a lot of bars, students, restaurants, ... good to relax - there are lockers at the main station Berlin Hbf) - and in the evening continue by night train to Paris OR Amsterdam.
You can buy the reservations for these two night trains online. Just follow the links I gave you. :)
And do not hesitate to ask if you have some more questions.
Peter :)
