[b]Paris-Brugge-Brussels-Amsterdam-Hamburg-Berlin-Prague-Munich[/b]
hello! this is my first time interrailling and i was wondering if this journey would be possible on a 10 day in 22 days ticket
i plan on spending two nights and a day in each place.
are there any supplements between these routes? do you think its a good route to take or are there any places that'd be good substitutes?
i'm getting a ferry over from dover to callais on the 3rd of july and getting a flight back to scotland from munich on the 20th.
any tips would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Hi.
Definitely possible with the 10 in 22 Interrail Global Pass. :)
Some information...
[b]Calais - Paris[/b]: you can use a direct TGV with reservation fee or travel by free regional train from Calais Ville to Boulogne, then by Intercités (no reservation required) to Paris. Journey time is: 3:30h.
Calculate 30 minutes to walk relaxed from the ferry terminal to the station. There seems to be a bus also - but never saw it - I always walked. :)
If you give me your arrival time in Calais, I can give you a good connection to Paris.
[b]Prais - Bruges[/b]: avoid in Benelux the expensive Thalys trains. You can travel for free: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/paris-to-bruges[/u]
[b]Bruges - Brussles[/b]: direct, frequent and free IC trains - [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/brussels-to-bruges[/u]
[b]Brussels - Amsterdam[/b]: use the direct and free IC Benelux trains - not THALYS!
[u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/brussels-to-amsterdam[/u]
On Amsterdam to Hamburg, you could also stop in Cologne. No need, only an idea.
[b]Amsterdam - Hamburg[/b]: use a free day train - [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/amsterdam-to-hamburg[/u]
Here you could include [b]Copenhagen[/b] (Denmark).
Free train Hamburg to Copenhagen: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/hamburg-to-copenhagen[/u]
Then [b]Copenhagen to Malmö[/b] via the big bridge (free - 30 minutes journey time) to Malmö (Sweden - and also a nice city). From [b]Malmö the cheap and direct night train to Berlin[/b] (not running daily - see link). The night train is using a ferry (interesting - you can stay in your bed or go on deck - I love it in the summer months with a cool beer!) - and it is only EUR 19 in a 6-bed-compartment, saving you the hostel. This reservation is available online via the Veolia website (see link):
[u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/malmoe-to-berlin[/u]
[b]Hamburg - Berlin[/b]: also very frequent and free ICE trains - [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/hamburg-to-berlin[/u]
[b]Berlin - Prague[/b]: frequent and free - [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/berlin-to-prague[/u]
Now the fastest way id directly to [b]Munich[/b] by free trains - don\'t use a bus as you need an extra reservation for it:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/prague-to-munich[/u]
Other options could be with a stop in Nuremberg (old castle) or Regensburg, then to Munich.
A big round: Krakow (Poland) - Budapest - Vienna - Salzburg (day stop) - Munich
A medium round: Budapest - Vienna - Munich
A smaller round: Vienna - Salzburg (day stop) - Munich
I hope this information will help you - and as you can see, you can travel every journey for free (except night trains when using them - but not necessarily required). :)

Thank you, Peter :)
