Hello,

I'm planning a 14-days trip through Italy-Austria-Czech Republic this spring.

My plan is following:

Flying to Milan. 3 nights there. Within these days in Milan one day round trip to Florence. Then Venice (2 nights)> Vienna (3 nights). Within these days in Vienna one day round trip to Salzburg. Finish in Prague (5 nights), then fly back to Moscow.

Could you advise me the best way how to get from one place to another? Is it possible to travel on Sunday?
Will it be possible to use for my trip InrerRail Global Pass 05 days within 10 days?

I'm not plannig to use night trains and would like to travel as cheap as possible.

Thanks for any help!

Hi!

This is ideal for the 5in10 InterRail pass. Have a look here how to find out detailed schedules for all routes: [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]

For the day trip to Firenze pay attention to the train category. The fastest connections by AV as well as some connecting services with ESCity/IC Frecciabianca services require a compulsory seat reservation which is 10€. If you want to avoid this go by IC trains which have no compulsory seat reservation (although I would recommend to get one for 3€). These IC trains doesnt run as frequent as the others so you might have to get up early to catch one.

On the Milano to Venezia route the fast trains are ESCity/IC Frecciabianca with 10€ reservation. If you want to avoid these, you have to go by slower, but free regional trains. Use the travel planner mentioned in the link above to get detailed timings. :)

Venezia to Wien night train: [u]https://rail.cc/en/venice-vienna-night-train/f3672[/u] If you want to travel during the day you have to take a bus from Venezia to Villach (7€ compulsory reservation) and then continue by free IC/EC train to Wien. I would recommend to travel overnight.

Wien - Salzburg - Wien: Frequent fast services without reservation - just hop on the train as you like.

Wien - Praha: Two hourly direct EC services without compulsory reservation.
