Hi folks.
Myself and two friends are looking to do our first Interrail trip this summer. We're looking at flying to Krakow in late July, spending twelve days travelling around before flying back from Katowice. We'll be using the ten day pass.
First of all we've used bahn.com for looking at train times and routes, is this a reliable website?
Our plan as it stands is Krakow - Bratislava - Belgrade - Budapest - Katowice, spending a few days in each with the exception of Katowice which we're only really using as there is a cheap flight back to Edinburgh for us.
Basically just wondering if this seems like a decent enough route, if there's plenty to do in these cities, any particular recommendations regarding hostels, etc. Any advice would be most welcome.

Hi.
Here on railcc you can use the railcc schedules - especially made for rail pass travellers (extra fees, free routes, night trains, ...): [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u]
If you want to use the schedule planer of Deutsche Bahn, please use the railcc-version available here: [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux]
As railcc is official online partner of Bahn, you wind there the same data, the same prices, etc.
On your trip you could also include Prague for example... or as well Vienna. Bratislava is nice for a day, so for example on a route: leaving in the morning in Vienna - the day in Bratislava - in the evening to Budapest.
I personally like the wombats hostels in Vienna ([u]https://rail.cc/en/vienna/accommodation/c[/u]) and Budapest ([u]https://rail.cc/en/budapest/accommodation/c[/u]).
And if you like to support railcc, buy your official Interrail passes via our partner link [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux]
Thank you.
Pete :)
