Paris-Barcelona-Brussels-Amsterdam-Munich-Prague-Vienna-more

Posted 13 years ago

Hey so i'm in the very VERY early stages of my planning. So i'm planning on going from june 30th until july 30th. and finish in italy as i have a place to stay in italy for an additional 2 weeks.

I don't know how to start my trip, or which route to take. But i don't wan't to back track. and it seems i will unless i fly into barcelona then travel up. but the places i want to go are as follows.

Paris
Barcelona
Brussels
Amsterdam
Munich
Prague
Vienna
Budapest
Zagreb
Then finish in italy.

Origonally i wanted to do greece too, but i think its to unreasonable as i would have to travel to far to get there. Unless anyone knows of anything i don't?

I'm much appreciate any help, or info or a recommended route would be a godsend.

Thanks Stevie, Sharmaine, Adam.

Hi!

First, have a look here regarding travelling to Greece :arr: [u]https://rail.cc/en/new-trains-from-thessaloniki-to-skopje-belgrade-and-sofia/f5508[/u]

I would recommend two possible routes:

1)
Dover - Calais by ferry :arr: [u]https://rail.cc/en/ferry-london-paris-england-france/f1222[/u] then continue to Paris by train
Paris - Barcelona including the Petit Train Jaune :arr: [u]https://rail.cc/en/paris-pyrenees-barcelona-le-petit-tain-jaune/f4023[/u]
Barcelona - Bruxelles: going to Cerbère, then with overnight train to Luxembourg, finally to Bruxelles
Bruxelles - Amsterdam :arr: [u]https://rail.cc/en/brussels-bruxelles-amsterdam-train/f3994[/u]

Hi.
Just check the country topics, there you will find what you need: [u]https://rail.cc/en/countries[/u]

[b]Barcelona-Paris:[/b]
[u]https://rail.cc/en/barcelona-paris-day-train/f5503[/u]
[u]https://rail.cc/en/barcelona-paris-night-train/f1040[/u]
[u]https://rail.cc/blog/little-yellow-train-video/[/u]

I recommend the route trough the Pyrenees, including the Petit Train Jaune. And then by the French Corail night train (cheap and good) to Paris.

Peter :)
