We're doing our first interrail to the Baltics on a 7day pass and wondering about the best route there. We're thinking of getting to Amsterdam from Oxford on the first day then using the second day to get to Gdansk probably via Berlin. Is this the best route?
We've also looked into booking the sleeper to Berlin via Brussels but found some problems which put us off. It looks like, when booking through the app, the number of sleeper reservations are limited for pass holders and also bookings don't open til late Jan, so.we're worried about missing the booking slot. Using a different booking tool, reservations for our mid July dates were possible but it looked like (even though i entered our pass details) it was going to cost the same as if we didn't have a pass- and booking an Amsterdam hotel near the station would be cheaper. Am I missing something? Also as the sleeper crosses 2 days presumably this will use 2 days worth of pass even if we go no further than Berlin on our first day?
I'll be back to pick some more brains about the Baltics- and return route. We're thinking of using the bus when we get there as it seems trains may be a bit limited but would love some thoughts on that to ponder meanwhile
Thank you!
