Hi,
I'm looking to travel in August on my own with a 22 day interrail pass and want to end up in Dubrovnik. I was originally going to start off in Amsterdam, but then I didn't really want to go Amsterdam and have always wanted to go Barcelona. But also I want to still try to keep in going to Paris and Bruges if possible.
I'm just trying to work out a route. All I know is that I definitely want to end up in Dubrovnik. Have a stint in Paris and Bruges and pass through Slovenia too. And try to do it all on my interrail pass without any added costs. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great.

Hi.
If you want to travel France, Spain and Italy, it is hard to avoid any extra costs!
Just as an example:
Start in Amsterdam, then continue to the south:
Amsterdam - Bruges: by free national trains (IC), avoid the Thalys trains.
Bruges - Brussels - Paris: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/thalys/41[/u]
Paris - Barcelona:

Barcelona - Nice - Italy:

Italy - Slovenia: [u]https://rail.cc/en/venice-ljubljana-train/f3664[/u]
[b]An other option[/b] could be (if you skip Barcelona) to start in Amsterdam (even you don't want to) and then got the way down via Eastern Europe. Definitely cheaper and very cool cities there!! :)
Amsterdam - Berlin - Prague - Krakow - Vienna - Budapest - (Belgrade) - Zagreb - Lake Bled (Slovenia) - back to Croatia
Either Ljubljana - Rijeka and then along the coast by bus down to Split and Dubrovnik, or again back to Zagreb and by train to Split.
