Hi Interrail Community!

I’m looking for epic recommendations — places where I can ride a hot air balloon, soak in natural hot springs, slide down natural water slides, visit stunning photo spots, or do anything truly unforgettable and bucket-list worthy.

 

I’d also love to hear about scenic routes, unique local experiences, iconic photo spots or any jaw-dropping ideas that made your trip legendary.

 

What would you definitely recommend? Thanks in advance!

Hey ​@Marcos  , welcome to the Community!

 

 Here’s a mix of bucket-list ideas across countries that might help your itinerary:

 

 Hot Air Balloon Rides

  • Cappadocia, Turkey – Technically outside the Interrail zone, but it’s the ultimate balloon spot with surreal landscapes and fairy chimneys.
  • Loire Valley, France – Drift over châteaux and vineyards  which issuper romantic and photogenic.
  • Segovia, Spain – Soar over the Roman aqueduct and medieval city at sunrise!

 

Natural Hot Springs & Thermal Baths

  • Széchenyi Baths, Budapest (Hungary) – Iconic open-air baths in a grand palace-like setting.
  • Terme di Saturnia, Italy – Natural thermal waterfalls you can soak in for free!
  • Blue Lagoon, Iceland – Not Interrail-accessible, but if you ever make it to Iceland...

 

Natural Water Slides

  • Bovec, Slovenia (Soca River) – While not a slide per se, this place offers canyoning and river tubing through stunning jade waters.
  • Caldeira Velha, Azores (Portugal) – Steamy jungle vibes and warm waterfalls, like a fantasy film set.

 

Stunning Photo Spots

  • Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland – Waterfalls, alpine peaks, and the train to Jungfraujoch.
  • Hallstatt, Austria – The definition of postcard-perfect.
  • Cinque Terre, Italy – Colorful cliffside villages and breathtaking trails.
  • Plitvice Lakes, Croatia – Wooden paths, turquoise lakes, and cascading falls.

 

Scenic Train Routes

  • Glacier Express, Switzerland – Panoramic views of the Alps, a once-in-a-lifetime ride.
  • Rauma Line, Norway – Through fjords and mountain passes (Åndalsnes to Dombås).
  • Cinque Terre Train, Italy – Short hops between magical villages with sea views.

 

Unique Local Experiences

  • Stay in a Trullo in Alberobello, Italy – Fairytale houses!
  • Hike between ancient monasteries in Meteora, Greece.
  • Catch the midnight sun in Lapland, Finland (summer only!).
  • Kayak through sea caves in Lagos, Portugal.
  • Sleep in a castle in Scotland or Germany (some are surprisingly affordable!).
