Hi!

We are planning to interrailing through Europe this summer for a month and could use some help with our route. It is our first time. We will start from Stockholm and then make our way to Paris, Barcelona, the French Riviera (Nice, with a day trip to Monaco, and then possibly to either Marseille, Saint Tropez, Cannes), then Monterosso, Milan, a day trip to Venice, maybe a day trip to Rome and Pisa, then to (Kandersteg or Lauterbrunnen or Interlaken), maybe Zurich, maybe Bled, and finally Berlin and Copenhagen.

 

We are open for changes, removing some places, replacing others, and rearranging the order. We haven't fully decided the destinations yet, so we welcome all the recommendations we can get. Can you help us find the most convenient route and if we should remove any destination?

You already have quite a good circular route with good locations. Please bear in mind that there are the Olympics (26/07-11/08) in Paris, which might limit availability of the trains in France in that period (very reservation heavy country France, as is Spain.).

For the rest it depends a bit on how long you’lld like to stay at each please. Usually less distinations, is more to fully appreciate others ;) Maybe a bit city heavy, you might fancy a more natural and quiet environment at some point?

I’lld recommend to visit slighter smaller cities in France, if you’re travelling during the Olympics. Like Dijon, Avignon, Nîmes, Montpellier, Perpignan (and surroundings) to visit as well. Could be an alternative for Paris, with the busy (and expensive) Olympics going on?

But when asking suggestions, you’ll get as much different opinions as there are people 😉
