Travelling around Europe

[IWasThere2016]

Folks - I'm wondering if anyone has advice on travelling around Europe - bus or train views/ticket advice/experience in particular.

I have looked at Flixbus - https://www.flixbus.com/ - and it seems great value

I am contemplating a break seeing a number of European cities over a month-long period viz:

Flight to Amsterdam - then bus/train to Hamburg - Berlin - Prague - Vienna - Munich - Milan - Monaco (maybe not) - Barcelona - Madrid and Lisbon - then a flight home.

Travel likely to be March/April 2016..

Any advice greatly received :aok:

If you do consider some legs on the train, have a look at "The Man in Seat 61 (http://www.seat61.com/)"

Useful site telling you the best way to make certain journeys,,,,,

Agree about seat61.com Loads of information there. loco2 and captaintrain both useful for reserving tickets too ( on captaintrain at least you can reserve tickets for 10-20 days without paying before confirming trip ). SNCF now have cheap buses as well as trains in and around France and I believe buses between Prague/Budapest/Vienna are cheap (or boat between Vienna and Bratislava ) . Almost no night trains left in Europe but Madrid - Lisbon still runs and there are a few from Paris to southern France ( Toulouse etc) .

I interrailed around Europe a few years ago so can give advice if needed mate.

Not sure if you can get an interrail ticket or not but it is extremely easy like

The good thing about interrail is you can make it up as you go along, you don't need to prebook anything.
