Interrailing/Eurailing Advice Superthread (IMPORTANT: FAQ at start)

got 14 days (using the 10 in 22 pass), think we're close to finalising the route - what do people think of this:

3 days Rome (2 nights)
2 days Munich (1 night)
3 days Prague (2 nights)
2 days Vienna (1 night)
3 days in Switzerland (Interlaken, most likely) (2/3 nights)

and then take trains to Paris and catch Eurostar to London.

I agree with what people are saying about getting the 5 in 10 day pass, much cheaper. Also for short distance day trips it'll probably be cheaper to buy them separately than wasting a day of your inter-rail ticket, definitely in Italy, maybe not in Switzerland.

Speaking of Switzerland, I disagree with people saying to cut it out. Yes it is a very expensive country, and you'll need to budget for that, but surely the point of any trip is to have a good experience. Switzerland is a beautiful country, particularly around Interlaken, and there's loads to do there.

If you're only going to Paris to get the train home, why not get a cheap Easyjet flight back from Geneva? That would free up some time to see somewhere you do want to be.

what do you suggest to do in Munich for 3 days or so?
at the moment, I've got looking at the markets and city centre - X
seeing cathedrals/churches - X
visiting the park or olympic village perhaps
going to one of the beer houses - X

to be honest, the ones marked X, I predict will only take a day max. The second day is just for additional browsing and exploring...
I'm not into the whole clubbing scene btw. But suggestions of things to do/see/go to are warmly welcomed

I don't know what to do for next year. I'm torn between Interrailing or going to the Coachella music festival in April 2012. I think I'd end up spending about the same amount of money for each thing. But obviously Interrailing would last longer.

I've just never been to a music festival before and Coachella looks like something you should do when you're young and mental ... I don't know. If I find a job soon and save up, maybe I could do both.

When is the best month to go Interrailing? I want go in either June, July or August. I'm at uni the rest of the time.

My friend and I went interrailing end of August-beginning of Sept, because we had uni too. It was great because most school holidays had finished, including the countries where we had been, but it was still seriously hot some days that it felt like a proper summer hols. I think the best month out of those 3 you mentioned would be June, it's a bit like September but possibly more busy with people heading off on early hols.

going away in a few days. Going to be fun living on average of 10 euro a day, couch surfing is definitely getting a hammering!

Where are you going ?

round the balkans, so I should be able to just about get away with living on so little! hopefully I will be able to sleep rough once or twice if the weather is hot enough! are you going away?

I envy you ! :L i plan on going to macedonia/Serbia etc some time in the near future hopefully !

Yea, im off to Central europe e.g. Germany, Austria, Czech Republic etc in September cant wait !

Do you travel a lot?

Belgrade is awesome. even though it was snowing when I went. I would definitely check montenegro out! Its hard to get to (9 hours from Belgrade), even so its so worth it. It is such a beautiful country and I hope to check out the coast soon. The serbian and montenegran people are so friendly as well!

Sounds awesome. I always wanted to check out CR. If you arent planning to already, I would recommend Munich, it is one of my favourite cities ever! Are you interailing?

Not as much as I would like and so far I have kept it to central/eastern europe as it is cheaper (but in no way less culteral or attractive). What about you?
