Hi,
My wife and I are thinking about doing the following interrail route in February over a period of about 3 weeks:
Rome-Florence-Venice-Innsbruck-Munich-(Salzburg?)-Vienna-(Prague?)-Krakow-Budapest-(Brasov?)-Bucharest-Istanbul
I've put optional stops in brackets.
Here are my questions:
- Is it worth getting a 10 in 22 rail pass or not?
- Any suggestions re the itinerary?
- We're thinking of doing 2 or 3 days skiing in Innsbruck. I was thinking we'd stay in a hostel in Innsbruck, rent some equipment and get the ski bus. Would this be the cheapest way to do it or would it be better to look for a package in one of the villages nearby?
Any advice much appreciated.

Hi.
I think the 10 in 22 InterRail pass is worth on this big trip as you are traveling a lot - that's the sense of this rail pass.
Your itinerary looks good.
Of course adding Salzburg, Prague and Brasov (Draculas castle) would be nice - but depends on your time. Maybe decide spontaneously...
In [b]Italy[/b] pay attention and avoid the Eurostar Italia trains (supplement EUR 10). Better to use IC trains:

About skiing in [b]Innsbruck[/b] I can't give you details.
But [b]Austria and Germany[/b] is easy to travel by train - a frequent connections and most of the trains are free of supplements.
Just use the schedule planer: [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]
[b]Munich - Prague[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/munich-prague-train/f5108[/u]
[b]Prague - Krakow[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/prague-krakow-night-train/f4027[/u]
Or by day trains.
[b]Krakow - Vienna[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/krakow-vienna-night-train/f1903[/u]
Or by day trains.
[b]Vienna - Budapest[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/vienna-budapest-train-railje/f1999[/u]
[b]Budapest - Brasov - Bucharest[/b]: stop in Brasov for the day and continue in the evening to Bucharest:
