Hi, i'm going interrailing next summer, around july time. I was wondering if this was a realistic route for a months continuous pass? All places i would like to spend around 2-3 days in, however this would leave me with 36 days of travel, as I live in london would it be possible to eurostar it down to paris and start my interrail ticket on my final day of paris? I would also get a flight back to england, so getting back to england by train is not an aim.
This is my planned route:
PARIS
BRUSSELS
AMSTERDAM
BERLIN
PRAGUE
VIENNA
VIENICE
FLORENCE
ROME
NAPLES
MILAN
MARSEILLE
I am considering dropping both Brussels and Vience as I feel they could be a bit similar to other cities I am visiting is there much going on in these cities? would be greatful if anyone have any opinions on this? If i was to drop these two would it be worth stopping further east to perhaps bratislava or down to zagreb? would this be able to fit in with my current time frame?
sorry for all the questions, i just want to get my basic plan down to a tee before i start planning anything concrete.

Hi.
This route is definitely possible within 1 month.
About London-Paris: I even recommend you to travel on a normal special offer ticket to Paris and start from there interrailing.

Think about as well doing a trip like this one:
[b]Paris - Amsterdam - Berlin - Prague - Krakow - Vienna - Budapest - Zagreb - (maybe add Split/Rijeka) - Ljubljana - (Lake Bled) - Venice - Italy - France[/b]
Eastern Europe is definitely very nice for night-life (bars and music clubs), cheap accommodation and having a good and relaxing time without spending too much money.
In Italy simply avoid the Eurostar Italia trains and use the free IC trains.
For details about the routes between the cities, check the country topics: [u]https://rail.cc/en/countries[/u]

would it be possible to stop off in the cities you suggested as well as keeping to my original plans such as travelling through italy. Or should i cut a couple of the stop offs?
thanks

Hi.
I recommend to stay 2-3 days in most of the cities - not just to rush trough. Like you said in your first post. :)
So either cut some off or skip Eastern Europe and travel there the next time ...
