Hi,
It's my first time using the iterrail and i really need some help planning. I want to go to Scandinavia (mainly Norway and Finland) then go to Athens and Rome. I can get to Calais but after that I have no idea what I should do. I think I should get the 30 continuous (and as I'm under 25 I count as youth) as I want to spend as much time as possible abroad and travel quite a bit. I'm on a really tight budget but I was thinking that the interrail was the cheapest way of traveling. I have no idea what trains I should get, which trains will need reservations, and so on. I want to go as soon as possible (before the 25th preferably).
Any advice, help would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks,
Euros

Hi Euros.
If you want to travel a lot and don't stay too long at each single place you visit - go from the West to the North and back to the South-East of Europe, the InterRail ONE Month Global Pass YOUTH is the best solution.

About supplements, check the following link:

We also add every day more and more routes free of any extra fees:

Check as well the country topics for more details. Simply as an example for the beginning of your trip ont the route Paris-Amsterdam you can save a lot of money:

An example route could be:
Calais - Paris - Amsterdam - Copenhagen - Stockholm - Helsinki - in Northern Finland crossing over to Sweden - Narvik - Lofoten - Bodö - Oslo - Malmö - Berlin.
The it depends. Do you really want to end up in Greece, as the train services there are very limited this year:

Possible is to continue to Eastern Europe down to Istanbul ... or end up in Italy.
Berlin - Prague - Krakow - Budapest - Venice - Rome
Berlin - Munich - Rome - Venice - Slovenia - direction of Istanbul.
All this only as example to get a view on possible routes.
