We went on the trip last summer, Italy was OK, Slovenia was OK. ÖBB in Austria was horrible, they where extremely delayed and we had to go by bus through almost all of Austria from Slovenia.Germany OK. The night train from Hamburg back to Sweden was horrible, no working AC, and late.All together it was a good trip, but next time we will avoid crowded ÖBB trains with a horrible booking procedure for reservations. I think we avoid Austria all together and go around.We will see, it was some extra work bringing the dog, but all things considered, the dog was the least of the problems, late and overcrowded trains was the problem.
Why have you excluded those countries? I want to bring my pet bunny, but the countries you have excluded is exactly where I aim to go 😅🎀 A bunny? Not to be like that but it is a bit different with a small bunny and a 31 kg Thai ridgeback dog. I don’t think you need to think very much of the bunnys well being on the trip, because you can have the little guy in your lap, most likely no restrictions in every European country. Not the case with the dog.Greece has horrible rules on trains for dogs over 10 kg, Italy not as horrible but still very bad for the dog. Spain does not even allow dogs on some trains. And France is just horrible in general to interrail through with fees on almost every train.
I am from Sweden, and pets are not barred on trains here, you just have to book a seat in the pets allowed area.As you mentioned the further south you go the worse it is for pet owners. We have so far excluded Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, France and the whole south eastern parts of Europe.Poland seems OKGermany seems OKAustria seems OKSwitzerland seems OKNetherlands seems OKDenmark seems OKSlovenia, don’t know yet, We trying to find out.Czech republic, don’t know yet. We trying to find out.Â
