Looking for a route taking the Eurostar from London to Paris then:
Paris - Toulouse
Toulouse - Florence
Florence - Milan
Milan - Venice
Venice - Zagreb
Zagreb - Split (Croatian Coast)
Split - Corfu (Via Dubrovnik?)
Corfu - Athens
Athens - Sunny Beach (Bulgaria)
Sunny Beach - Budapest
Budapest - Prague
Prague - Berlin
Berlin - Amsterdam
Amsterdam - Brussels

I know this is HUGE to do in a month (Especially getting from Crotia to/through Greece as the only way I've read to be get a ferry back to Bari, Italy and go to Corfu from there & that Greek railways are terrible due to the crisis at the moment)
-Any advice on train routes (esp. overnight ones which would be more useful) & if so easiest countries to cut if this is too much?
-Using an [b]INTERRAIL[/b] pass
Thanks :D

Hi.
I think it is not too much for one month. :)
But think about skipping Greece - due to the missing international train connections. I don't know what will happen this summer, but in 2011 (until today), there are not connections leaving Greece.
Think about going from Split either via Mostar (have to do one part by bus) and Sarajevo to Belgrade and then on to Bulgaria or make the round via Montenegro (also by bus from Croatia - but cheap).
Concerning night trains... we listed them with the reservation fees here: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-night-train[/u]
Train connections are here: [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]
Night trains are interesting for you on the connections Budapest-Prague and Berlin-Amsterdam.
And if you want to support our work at the railcc project, please buy your official Interrail pass in our partner. Thank you, Peter :)

Thanks, I've been using this site loads now and it's really helpful but I've come up with a few different routes due to night trains vs. day ones etc.
Just wondering what your views were on travelling from Sofia (after visiting Sunny Beach, Bulgaria) to Budapest - whether it's worth taking a day or so in Belgrade (as the train seems to connect there anyway) or if there's any difference in travelling through Bucharest into Budapest?

Cheers

Hi.
Trains are often in delay coming from Sofia to Belgrade. Therefore it is not a bad idea to stay there for one night. :)

Hi there I have now been using your site extensively and have come up with the connections
Zagreb to Split: 9:43pm (night train) OR (Day) 7:50; 2:04 – 6hrs OR (Day) 10:55 – 8hrs

Split - Zagreb:8:25am

Zagreb - Belgrade: 11:03am

Belgrade to Budapest:: 11:03am

Budapest to Prague: 11:25am

Prague to Berlin: To Berlin: 10:31am

Berlin to Amsterdam: 11:37pm

I was just wondering if we would have to previously book onto any of these trains or pay a surcharge excluding our Interrailing worldwide ticket? Cheers
