This is my current planned route. I'm planning to do this on a 10 days within 22 interrailing pass (I'm European). Can anyone recommend any amendments? Not sure if this is too much to fit into 22 days but equally not sure if I should try to fit more smaller cities in en route... How much time do people normally spend in each city? Any advice on any part of the trip is welcomed!
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
Usually you spent ~ two or three nights in a city. It depends of course on the city and as well if you want to make kilometres with your rail pass or not. ;)
Your route is easy to do... is there a special thing to do for you in Milan? Otherwise you could stop somewhere else ... of course there is a nice route crossing the Alps, from Zurich to Milan: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/zurich-to-milan[/u]
But it is expensive to stay in Switzerland overnight, the night before.

From Germany to Italy you have good overnight connections:

If you want to extend your route, you could travel:
Amsterdam - Berlin - Prague - Budapest - Vienna - Munich - Italy
Otherwise it looks fine.
From Italy to Greece use the ferry here: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-ferry/italy/it[/u]
From Patras by bus to Athens (~ EUR 10/15).

Hej,
as Peter already wrote, spending 1-3 days in each city is the best thing to do while you are on an InterRail trip. This way you make best use of your ticket.
Your original route would require only seven travel days, so you could add some other stops if you want. You could think about the Ruhr area (Düsseldorf, Cologne,...), Hamburg, Dresden, Bratislava, Budapest, Vienna, Switzerland (Peter already posted a link to the fantastic Bernina route, but there are also other beautiful places), Venice, Florence,...
Apart from that, your route is pretty straightforward without much things to worry - you would only need a reservation for Munich - Milan (in fact, you have to pay a supplement on the train) and Milan - Rome (if you go by direct high speed train).

Thanks for all your help. I'm interested in the Bernina pass but not so much in going to Milan anymore. Would it be possible to take the Bernina pass from anywhere to Rome? If so, how?
Thanks again

Hej,
have a look at the Zurich - Milan connections via the Bernina route: :arr: [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/zurich-to-milan[/u]
From Milan it takes ~3h by Frecciarossa high speed train (10€ reservation) to Rome. Depending on your overall route, there are other ways to include the Bernina route in your itinerary as well. Just ask if you need more help with planning. ;)
