Backpacking plans- From Paris to Berlin

Started planning next year trips. The major trip I am undertaking is going backpacking through Europe with train. I love love love train. So expect to be bombarded with photos mainly of trains..

Went googling, another favorite sports of mine today and ended up on Interrail homepage. Found the below map.

The interrail railwaymap found here.

 The Rail Planner App

On the page I also found the Rail Planner App when checking the prices for backpacking passes. I wish I was under the age of 25 but since I am not I will pay more than twice as much as Martin. For 22 days I will pay 812 Euros if I buy my pass today and Martin will pay 345 Euros. I actually though it would be cheaper for me, but it wasn´t.

Anyway, to plan your travels it is possible to use the Rail Planner App where you can check out the train time schedule. I tried it and it worked fine.

The Interrail website also have other tips as how to plan your travels according to a small budget.

In the list is the following.

  1. Head to a campsite
  2. Stay in a hostel dorm
  3. Spend the night in a hostel or B&B
  4. Ride the night train
  5. Give Couchsurfing a go

Martin and me soon agreed for the following. Well, Martin refused to couch-surf so..

  1. Head to a campsite
  2. Stay in a hostel dorm
  3. Spend the night in a hostel or B&B
  4. Ride the night train
  5. Give Couchsurfing a go

Checking out the train table the plan is as follows (first sketch)-

Grythyttan – Copenhagen – Berlin – Krakow – Vienna – Prague – Bratislava – Budapest – Ljubljana – Venezia – Roma – Bologna Milan – Genoa – Asti – Aosta – Marseille – Lyon – Bordeaux – the French West Coast – Paris – Brussels – Amsterdam Hamburg and back home

This rute will feed us on wine, food and culture surely. We have to cut down to less cities we agreed, since this trip isn´t possible to undetake on 22 days, but as I said, it is a first sketch.

Any early planning tips? I am glad to receive them!
