Hi there, I don't know if this still applies (maybe too late?). Anyway, just here to say that from Krakow you can find many offers for day trips to Auschwitz, with buses/little vans. I'd say it's more convenient than traveling there yourself by train (the distances between the station and the camps are quite long, if you'd walk them). Not sure if there are shuttle buses or something like that locally. It could be less pricey than losing a travel day on your interrail card...
Ahhhh that’s it!! Sorry to not have followed your careful instructions...😁 Decided to do it in one stretch, let’s see how that works out! Then have to work on the way back, but now I know how the system works and that there are still seats available, I’m a bit more relaxed. We may even stop over in Basel or something, since we still have two extra travel days.
Thanks a lot again!! Also the suggestion for the nighttrain...I can still take it, adding some 100 euros, now doubting if it’ll be worth it or we just play tough and do it in one day, argh! I seem to have trouble with OBB, it gives me zero options to buy seats on Italian trains :( What am I doing wrong there? I tried with and without discount option.
So nice! I've seen routes via Köln, will look at it later (traveling 6th July if still possible).
The route I'm planning on is through Switzerland (Rome-Milano-Lugano-Basel-Ffurt-Ams). I'll look into DB and OBB sites and I'd like to reserve as much as I can/need.. (would like to avoid sitting on the floor with kids aged 3 and 7 while traveling for 15 hours...that's a bit too much). Planning to do it in one day...some connections are very tight (4 mins in Lugano..) but let's see! Just the Trenitalia part is weird, can't seem to book anywhere but on the Interrail app itself. Thanks for the advice!
Don't be shy and let us know about your challenge.
