Hi all,
First time interrailing and looking at travelling with a friend through eastern Europe a bit. have about 14 days to play with so looking at getting the 5 travel days in 10 with spending time in places before and after this 10 day period.
Fly from UK to Prague and back from Croatia. Was thinking of spending 2 or 3 days in most places except for Croatia where we would intend to have more of a relaxing time (for like 4 days ?) seeing the sights rather than moving country. Lake Bled is high on my list and seeing a bit of Austria would be great- maybe even doing something of a scenic route through the Alps by train to get to another place?
Does this sound too ambitious in the 14 days overall? Any opinions will be greatly appreciated- feel free to mention alternative route recommendations including similar things!
:D

Hi!
I would suggest a route like this:
1 Prague - Budapest night train
2x arriving in Budapest
3 Budapest
3x Budapest - Vienna
4 Vienna
5x Vienna - Hallstatt - Salzburg
6x Salzburg - Ljubljana
7 Ljubljana
8 Ljubljana and day trip to Bled with regular tickets; or stay in Bled overnight
9x Ljubljana/Bled - Zagreb or whereever in Croatia you want to go
This would consume all 5 travel days already; I dont know how much and where you want to travel within Croatia (and from where you want to fly home), but regular tickets are not expensive if needed and the 5 travel days are quite good spent on the first days of travel.
I have included a short visit to Hallstatt because you said you'd want to see a bit of Austria. This would work quite well; it would be a good idea to use a locker for your big luggage when changing trains at Attnang-Puchheim - pick it up again when continuing to Salzburg.
Salzburg - Ljubljana would be quite a nice route crossing the Alps; not as spectacular as this one: [u]https://rail.cc/blog/zurich-milano-albula-bernina/[/u] but easier to fit into your route. ;)
Just ask if you have questions. And please be fair and purchase your IR tickets through our partner: [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux] - thank you. :)
