Travel plans, routes and timetables / Re: Eastern Europe itinerary

Hi tUt, just a quick message to offer my gratitude for your assistance in this forum. We are now in Ljubljana, having completed the majority of the trip outlined in this thread.

Your comments gave us the confidence we needed for the trip and saved us a great deal of money on unnecessary rail passes.

A million thanks,
Kevin

thank you so much for your detailed reply - there is a lot to think about and digest so we will certainly be back with further questions on this thread, but for now you have been most helpful.
Many thanks,

Travel plans, routes and timetables / Eastern Europe itinerary

This site is so helpful! I’d love to draw on your expertise further if you don’t mind taking the time.

My girlfriend and I plan to take off in October and see Eastern Europe, we came close to deciding upon a RailEurope pass but having read the advice on this site and elsewhere it seems the best option is to book individual train tickets online, in advance.

Rather than having specific cities we’d like to visit, the aim is to get as thorough an exploration of Eastern Europe as possible – doesn’t matter to us what order but we’re thinking of going North-South-North loop, as follows:
Fly from London – Moscow, then fly to St Petersburg, fly or train to Tallinn, then trains to Riga, Vilnius, Krakow, Bratislava, Budapest, Bucharest, Zagreb, Split, Ljubjana, Vienna, fly back to London.
We've already been to Prague and Istanbul hence their omission.

I plan to look through the individual country guides on this site and follow the tips to book the cheapest available tickets but if you could give your thoughts on the order of cities listed here so I can structure the itinerary as a first step and then offer any other tips I’d be very appreciative.
Many thanks,
Kevin
