Thanks, we've taken Bled out and will be doing the night train from venice to Vienna :-) (also getting the night train from Budapest to Krakow )
Makes it easier and will hopefully be a lot smoother!
Only worry now is to work out which trains need supplements and reservations!

Hi tUt,
Thanks a lot for your reply!
Will take it all into consideration for sure
I thought about point to point to begin with but decided that I would prefer to alter my schedule as I travel if need be, so i wouldn't be booking the train tickets online and i won't be able to benefit from the early booking cheap tickets. For that reason I thought the rail pass, which is £22 a day( EURO25), would be cheaper than the higher priced on-the-day purchases?
Do you think this is a mistake?
Thanks

Hey guys!
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience of interrailing around europe and if anyone could share some thoughts.
My friend and I are going around june/july time for around 3 weeks (maybe a bit more, but 21 days is the aim).
Our route is as follows:
Fly into ROME(3 nights)
Train to pisa for the day and then continue up to venice the same day, VENICE(2 nights)
Train from venice up to Bled, BLED (1night)
Train from Bled to Vienna, VIENNA (3 nights)
Train from Vienna to bratislava for the day and end the day in budapest, BUDAPEST (2 nights)
train from budapest to Krakow, KRAKOW (2/3 nights)
Train to Prague, PRAGUE (3 nights)
Train up to berlin, BERLIN (3 nights).

There is maybe a stop between Krakow and Prague in Auschwitz, however this depends on the connections, as if we have to go back to Krakow to get the train to prague then it will cut Auschwitz out of the picture.

We are thinking of going for the 10 days travel in 22 days youth pass at £220. To give us freedom of travel if any cities are to be cut out or the stay extended.

Does this seem a good route#? We know its fast paced, however we arn't ones for staying around in cafes and such so will be doing a fast tour 
Any opinions are greatly appreciated!
