Hi
I am looking at possibly doing a tour next summer on either a 15/15 or 22/22 ticket as a sort of whistlestop tour spending no more than 2 days in one place. From the UK so will probably get a eurostar to Brussels or Paris but i would like suggestions on the best citys to visit
Please suggest anywhere and everywhere as i am a bit of a train fanatic and really dont mind spending a long time on a train going across large distances.
I am also very interested in history and basically want a tour of the name A brief history of europe seeing bits from all different times. I have some ideas but i would like to know what cities you think are worth putting in and why that are of historical and or cultural intrest.
Thanks
Lordmwa

Hi, also going for my first interrail this summer. As I am in military service, I am attending to the Nijmegen march, witch actually is worth seeing, it runs from 20-24. July,and well worth spending one day on. Nevertheless, my interrail starts here, i am planning on heading for France after this, there are a couple of lines taking you fast to Paris, witch saves you travel time. Next stop is then Barcelona, then i am heading for a town north of Rome, then by ferry to Tunis just for fun. Heading back from Tunis, and arriving a stop south of Napoli, heading against Napoli, then Rome and North-Italy, after this, I have to take a look at the calendar, but hopefully, I still have a couple of days left to visit south-eastern Europe (Romania etc.) When my travel days are spent, I`m jumping on the first plane home.
This tour is a bit unconventional, but I already have spent many weeks in Germany, Poland, Sweden and Denmark and Finland, and Norway is my homeland, so there is no reason for me to waste time in North Europe. If you never have been to North Europe though, I would start in Bergen, then go to Kristiansand, witch means you have to go by Oslo, when arriving in Kristiansand, take the first plane* to any town in North Germany, and experience Germany and Poland then follow my route backwards: North Italy->Rome->Napoli->Barcelona->Paris->Amsterdam
*Why plane from Kristiansand? Denmark is not interesting at all, and have an awful train connection, so you would waste many days on nothing :)
