I am planning my first interrail trip for this sommer and i was wondering if someone would please answer a couple of questions.
I am starting my trip in copenhagen, and from here my plan was:
Copenhagen - Hamborg ( 2 nights in Hamburg)
Hamburg - Amsterdam ( 3 nights in Amsterdam)
Amsterdam - Paris ( 3/4 nights in Paris) I am consedering going via brussel, but it is not a must. Do anyone have a idea for the best way to travel this route?
Paris - London (3 nights in london) If possibly a night train. What is you experience with this connection?
And finaly i don't know whether i should fly from london to Copenhagen and then take an extra day in each city on my way to London to fill up the days in my 15 days ticket, or if i should fly from London to Stockholm, have a night or two there and then travel from Stockholm to Copenhagen with the SJ 2000 ? What would you recommend?
I would really like to travel with the SJ2000 and this is the mainreason for me to go to Stockholm. The question is, if i go to Stockholm after London, will i have time enough in each city and will it be to stressfull? I am not good at planning and i enjoy the freedom to leave when i want, so i don't want to have too tight a schedule.
I hope you will share your thoughts on this. Thanks :)

Hi.
Just to summarize:
- your country of residence is Denmark. You can't travel for free there: [u]https://rail.cc/en/how-to-interrail[/u]
- you want to use the X2000
- you want to visit: Copenhagen, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, London
- and finally you have 15 days
Then think about a route like: Denmark to Stockholm using the X2000.
Back down to Malmö. By night train Malmö to Berlin: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/malmoe-to-berlin[/u]
Berlin - Hamburg: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/berlin-to-hamburg[/u]
Hamburg - Amsterdam: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/hamburg-to-amsterdam[/u]
On the following two journeys avoid the THALYS trains, there are much cheaper options available. See links.
Amsterdam - Brussels: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/amsterdam-to-brussels[/u]
Brussels - Paris: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/brussels-to-paris[/u]
Paris - London: don't use the direct Eurostar train. Either use the ferry or a overnight bus. For details see the schedules. [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/paris-to-london[/u]
From London you can use the ferry back to the Netherlands (Harwich to Hoek van Holand): [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/london-to-amsterdam[/u]
Back home by direct overnight train from Amsterdam to Denmark (special fares available if you want to purchase a normal ticket due Interrail isn't valid in Denmark for you): [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/amsterdam-to-copenhagen[/u]
Open for discussion ... :)
