Hello, my girlfriend and I are planning on Interrailing this summer (August 1st to be exact) however it's out first time so needless to say there's a lot of nervousness about the whole trip. We are planning on purchasing a 22 day continuous pass as we intend to cover a lot of ground! Here is our route.

London - Paris (EuroStar)
Paris - Bruges
Bruges - Amsterdam
Amsterdam - Berlin
Berlin - Krakow
Krakow - Prague
Prague - Munich
Munich - Milan
Milan - Rome
Rome - Milan/Turin
Milan/Turin - Marseille
Marseille - Paris
Paris - London (EuroStar)

I would appreciate any advice any seasoned Interrailers may have with regards to planning our trip, such as which trains to get, what to do at stations, etc.

Cheers!

Hi.

Have a look at the [b]country topics[/b] where you will find a lot of details: [u]https://rail.cc/en/countries[/u]
Also helpful is the [b]schedule planer[/b][u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]


Examples:

[b]London - Paris[/b]:

[b]London - Belgium/Netherlands[/b]:

[b]Paris - Belgium[/b]: simply avoid all Thalys trains, as they have an expensive supplement. The same for your way up to Amsterdam.
