Interailing

So, me and 3 of my mates are going interailing after a-levels. We are planning on going to Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Krakow, Budapest, Rijeka, Bled, Munich and ending back up in Amsterdam. Hopefully going for 3 ish weeks. I have a few questions:
1.) What do you think of the list (Tried to pick out 'cheap' places to have fun)
2.) How much should we expect to spend? Like how much would accom be?
3.) Best place to find accomadation/ air bnb/ hostels?
4.) Any top tips or anything we would need to bear in mind while booking??
Thank you so much for any replies!
hi ! i went interailing with my boyfriend after a levels - we used a site called byway which was really helpful as it had all the accommodation and transportation set up and it comes with a bunch of different interail options. In terms of money - prepare to spend a lot more than u think u will - food and water, and souvenirs all add up so make sure you’re prepared - also most places u stay will make u play service tax which can be up to about 30 pounds. Something i wish i knew before i went was to book hotels/hostels close to train stations because your luggage can get really heavy and especially in the busy/ hot places it can make the experience difficult and negative if you’re trying to walk a long distance to save money. But it was honestly the best experience of our lives, take a film camera and capture all the memories ! any other questions let me know :smile:

There is a sale giving 25% off interrail passes now (until 17 December). They are vaild for 11 months from purchase so would be fine for next summer (just don't activate the pass until your first day of travel).

Just a note - Amsterdam is expensive. You might want to reconsider visiting twice and start searching now for accommodation. Youth hostels are a good option for cheaper accomm. Try the following sites:

Have fun! I didn't go interrailing but I found this which looks insightful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAyb_9rQ4YI
