Hi, this is my first post on the forum and I’m currently starting to plan a month-long interrail trip for me and 6 of my friends for next summer! We’re looking to travel from england, mostly around western europe ideally and not sure what the first steps would be for planning this trip? We’re starting early so we can plan an itinerary far in advance. We want to go to some popular tourist areas but also some less popular places with good scenery and food! Does anyone have advice which would help us plan, or for how we can look for cheap but reliable accommodation? I’m also unsure on how best to plan a good route which makes the most of our time. Would it make sense to spend around 2-3 days in each country, so maybe we could visit around 10? We are also all girls and will be 18 when taking the trip, so does anyone have advice for how to remain safe while travelling?

Sorry I know this is a lot of questions, any help would be much appreciated!! Thank you so much!

bahn.com is a good place for general timetable planning.

Most timetables for next summer will however only become available in October/November. You can already look at current timetables of course to get an idea.

There are some good itinerary ideas here, which you could use as a base for inspiration.

2-3 days in each country doesn’t sound very long. Especially if one of those days is a full day of travel. It’s tempting to try to tick off as many countries and cities as you can, but you’ll see a lot more if you go slower.

For a month-long trip, I’d definitely recommend one or two longer stops. 5 nights or more in one location, will give you a chance to fully unpack, get to know the neighbourhood, find your favourite cafe or bar, and maybe do some day trips.
