Paris-Arcachon-Algeciras-Malaga-Valencia-Barcelona-Nice-Milano-(via Pisa with 2h stay)-Rome-Glacier Express-Groningen

That's the route me and my friend are planning to do this july. We want to do it with a 22-days-global-ticket, do you think it's enough time? (In Barcelona it's enough if we arrive in the morning and leave in the evening.) Most of the time we want to use nighttrains if possible. And do you think it's a real problem that we're both only 17 years old?

Thank you for your answers

EDIT: We can't/want to obviate crossing Germany, it's our homecountry.

Hi.
This trip is possible with a 22 days continuous ticket.

Keep in mind the [b]supplements[/b]:
France - the TGV trains have limited seats and high supplements.
In Spain: nearly every train is with a supplement.
And in Italy don't use the expensive Eurostar Italia trains.

Check the country topics for details about night trains: [u]https://rail.cc/en/countries[/u]

On your way from Barcelona to Nice, cross the Pyrenees, definitely worth:

Your age: some hostels only accept traveler groups with at least one adult (on person aged 18 or older) who is responsible for all. Maybe ask before you book by email if they allow as well two minors.

Have a sunny trip. Peter :)
