Hi there! My boyfriend and I are planning a 15 days trip in May to Europe.
My first thought are: from Amsterdam to Prague - plane
from Prague to Krakow I heard there´s a night train. This train stops at Oświęcim which is where the camp is. I wonder, If i stop by the camp, how do I go to Krakow from there?
Afterwards from Krakow to Bratislava - I was thinking about trains. Are they the best option?
Then Bratislava to Viena, also train.
From Viena to Geneve I think I´ll take a plane.
Geneve to Zurich - what´s the best option?

One more question: I could do all the way around. Instead of starting at Amsterdam I could start at Zurich. What´s the best option.

Thanks a lot!!!!!

Hi Karen.

If you travel on an InterRail pass, forget about using planes. It is much cheaper by train.

Prague - Amsterdam: by direct night train - save the money for a hostel: [u]https://rail.cc/en/amsterdam-prague-night-train/f3747[/u]

Prague - Krakow: [u]https://rail.cc/en/prague-krakow-night-train/f4027[/u]
This night train stops at Oswiecim at 0436h in the morning. Leave it there. And if you want, continue in the evening by local train to Krakow to get a cheap hostel.

From Krakow you have direct day train connections to both cities.

Bratislava-Vienna: [u]https://rail.cc/en/bratislava-vienna-wien-train/f3972[/u]

Vienna-Geneva: you will always travel via Zurich. Either by day or night train (see country topics). Then by IC train to Geneve - fre of supplements.

Maybe one of these routes fit in your plans:
