Thank you. This helps a lot. I will integrate Bernina into my itinerary.
Thanks for the answers. The money for the reservations is already planned into my expenses. So this is not a problem with my budget. I fear the prices of AirBNB/Hotel in Switzerland more than the reservation costs for the train :DThe tipp with the regional trains instead of the official Bernina Express is great. If I decide to travel that route, I will definitely do that.From Pescara where I will stay for two nights are also direct RV trains to Rome. I planned to take these.Another option would also be to go Aachen → Frankfurt → Milan with the direct train from Frankfurt to Milano. Then I would have one very long travel day but do not need to pay so much for accomodation in Switzerland. But I also miss Bernina. Is Bernina a must in your eyes?Maybe there are also hiking day trips I can do from Milan or Bergamo or something like that?
Hey, thank your for this great Thread. I just have a short question regarding reservations in Italy: Is it not possible to select a specific seat when doing a reservation? So you basically book a reservation and they will automatically assign a seat?
Thanks for your reply @mcadv I appreciate it a lot!Just for clarification: My Budget is NOT very tight I think. So the cost for the reservations is not a problem for my. My only concern is if I will be able to get a reservation on a short notice at the stations. Is mid September to mid October still High Season in Spain/Portugal?Right now my plan would be something like Paris, Hendaye, San Sebastian, Madrid, Vigo, Porto, Lissabon, Sevilla, Valencia, Barcelona. But if possible I want to decide spontaneously how long I will stay at a specific city. If this is presumably not possible I have to think of something else.
