Hi,
My name is Luke, Im looking to buy a interrail pass to use just for 14 days (youth pass). I have a route in mind but no idea where, what trains to get and the times that they will be running!!!
London-Eurostar-Paris (3nights) interrail from then-switzerland (jungfrau)-pisa/florence-Rome(3 nights)-venice-vienna-amsterdam-london
Any ideas on length of journies?do u get the trains from specific train station? a plan for the rail side i.e 3nights in paris, then get the 8pm night train to switzerland, 1night stay get the 10am train to pisa ect??
I guess I didnt take into account the length of time on train between destinations! i.e Paris to Switzerland
Any help would be appreiciated

Hi Luke.
Have a look at the railcc connections:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]
[b]London - Paris[/b]: don't use Interrail for it. Buy a special fare ticket at [ux]https://rail.shop/beurope[/ux] - it is much cheaper!
More information here: [ux]https://rail.cc/blog/london-to-paris-by-eurostar-train-bus-or-ferry//[/u]
[b]Paris - Zurich[/b]: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/paris-to-zurich[/u]
[b]Zurich - Milan[/b]: use this scenic route to travel for free - [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/zurich-to-milan[/u]
Here the blog post of Flow with a lot of photos: [u]https://rail.cc/blog/zurich-milano-albula-bernina/[/u]
In [b]Italy[/b] use regional trains for free. If you want to save money, avoid IC (3 EUR) and the other high-speed trains (10 EUR).
Connections Italy: [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]
Connections in general: [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]
Extra fees in Italy: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/italy/it[/u]
[b]Venice - Vienna[/b]: I recommend the direct night train - [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/venice-to-vienna[/u]
[b]Vienna - Munich - Amsterdam[/b]: is free if you don't use a night train.
[u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/vienna-to-amsterdam[/u]
[b]Amsterdam - London[/b]: a nice option is using the ferry Hoek van Holland to Harwich.

Or by train to Brussels and then with a special price to London with Eurostar: [ux]https://rail.shop/beurope[/ux]
