Hi.
One month ... a lot of time.
I would include some Eastern-European cities, as there hostels and live is much cheaper.
Think about a route like this (just an idea and open for discussions):
Fly to Paris.
[b]Paris - Amsterdam - Berlin - Prague - Krakow - Budapest - Slovenia/Croatia - Italy[/b]
Some example for train connections are in the country topics.
Examples:
Paris-Amsterdam: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/paris-to-amsterdam[/u]
Amsterdam-Berlin: [u]https://rail.cc/en/amsterdam-berlin-train/f2346[/u]
...
Slovenia-Italy: [u]https://rail.cc/en/ljubljana-venice-train/f3663[/u]

i have researched it further.. do you think starting in madrid then going to the south of france & then going to paris and following your suggested route would be realistic within the 22 days instead of a month? would this route be suitable for a group of college students looking for sunshine, good night life, nice sight seeing experiences and would it suit those on a budget? thank you for your help! :D

Hi.
Sounds good. But for 22 days a bit too much. If you want to save money, skip the French beaches in high season.
Better to stay some more days somewhere in Croatia.
If you want to include Spain, think about starting in [b]Barcelona[/b].
Trough the [b]Pyrenees[/b] to [b]Paris[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/blog/little-yellow-train-video/[/u]
[b]Paris-Amsterdam[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/paris-to-amsterdam[/u]
[b]Amsterdam-Berlin[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/amsterdam-berlin-train/f2346[/u]
[b]Berlin-Prague[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/berlin-prague-train/f3361[/u]
[b]Prague-Krakow[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/prague-krakow-night-train/f4027[/u]
[b]Krakow-Budapest[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/krakow-budapest-night-train/f3305[/u]
And so on ... this are only examples, of course there are much more connections available.
For more details check the country topics: [u]https://rail.cc/en/countries[/u]
As InterRail pass the 10 travel days in 22 InterRail Global Pass (10 in 22) would be a good and cheap solution for you.
For hostels check: [ux]https://rail.shop/hostelworld[/ux]

Thats definitely a very good route I think for a month. Enough time to see some of the 'key' cities of Europe, you'll be seeing quite a diverse range of culture too but also have enough time in each place to enjoy it. When I first went interrailing I moved through every city far too quickly and definitely regretted it when I got home.
