Hi! I’m currently planning an Interrail trip for August. I’d like to follow the orient express Itinerary, if everyone did this trip would be perfect if he/she could tell me something about this experience. Particularly I would know how can I reach Sofia from Belgrade and then Istanbul (reservation, prices, autobus ecc..).
Thank you so much!

Maybe take the “ArlbergOrientExpress” route (more scenic than the way via Stuttgart) from Paris via (Strassbourg) - Basel - Zuerich - (maybe a stopover on Lake Constance) - Innsbruck - Salzburg - Vienna - Bucharest - Ruse - Sofia
and then back from Sofia via Craiova - Timisoara - Budapest - Lubljana (here then on the south route via) - Trieste - Venice - Verona - Milan - Brig - Lac Leman - Lausanne - Dijon back to Paris :D
If you won´t be twice in Paris you could catch the Eurostar from London to Brussels and then from Brussels via Cologne to Switzerland (I recommend to catch from Cologne the EC9 to Zuerich with a nice joruney along the RhineValley) it´not 100% historical correct but a worths it.
