I am planning an interrailing trip with 1 other person and possibly more. We have a rough route outlined. I would like some advice on the route.
Dublin to Budapest
Budapest to Bucharest by night train. Stay two nights
Bucharest to Sofia by night train. stay 1 night
Sofia to Belgrade by night train, stay 2 nights
Belgrade to Zagreb. stay 2 nights
Rijeka to Ljubljana. stay 2 nights with a day trip to lake bled
Ljubjana to Munich
Munich to Dublin
This brings our total stay to 16 nights
We were considering an interrail ticket that allows us 10 days travelling within 22 days it costs 257 euro. we plan to not activate the ticket until we go from Budapest to Bucharest
Would it be be cheaper to pay for trains as we go? And if so does anyone know a price?
What price is it for night trains and is it necessary to reserve?
Where would people recommend to go in the different cities?
Would 30 euro a day spending money be sufficient?
Does anyone recommend any hostels along the way?
Note that we done the interrail last summer but to the north Europe countries. We didnt take any night trains do. We have mastered spending two nights in a city. Spending a day and a half doing all the tours and seeing the usual city sights and the next day and a half exploring by ourselves and taking in the culture.
Thanks for the advice in advance.
Wha
Would it be chee

Hi.
If you only travel Eastern-Europe, point to point tickets are sometimes the cheaper solution.
Check the websites of the national railway companies of each country for pricing details.
The reservation fees for night trains (using them with the Interrail pass) are listed here:

30 EUR per day is not that much, but should be fine in Eastern Europe. Accommodation is not that expensive.
If you like, calculate here: [u]https://rail.cc/en/overall-costs[/u]
