2 month summer itinerary

With an Interrail Global Pass, you can go wherever you like in 33 countries across Europe. This means that every trip follows a unique itinerary! Our Interrail community have sent us many maps, photos and itineraries over the years, and we love to see where the Pass has taken you. 

This itinerary was sent to us by Heather, who travelled from Finland to 17 countries last summer! Her route took her to many of Europe's biggest attractions and some secret spots. Heather's photos from 10 of those countries are a perfect starting place for inspiration as you plan your next trips.

We've also added some travel tips to send you on your way.

Lübeck

A historic trading town that forms the rail gateway to Denmark and the rest of Scandinavia. Its most known attraction also happens to be a gate - the red-brick Holstentor city gate (pictured above).

Checkpoint Charlie, Berlin

A 2h 40m journey, including a stop in Hamburg, will bring you to Germany's capital, Berlin. You'll want to stay in the city as long as you can, to discover its history, landmarks and nightlife.

Prague

Prague's incredible skyline can be a lot to take in. Thankfully it has enough high places to see it all from different angles. Try Letna Hill to see the Vltava River and its many bridges; Petrín Tower to view the old centre and castle complex; or the Klementinum for a view like this, amongst the orange rooftops.

Salzburg

There's no direct route from Prague to Salzburg, so why not stop off in some of central Europe's smaller cities... Discover characterful Český Krumlov in Bohemia, or Austria's third-largest city Linz, all before you enjoy Mozart's birthplace.

Hallstatt

2 hours 30 minutes from Salzburg (via Attnang-Puchheim) is a view that is definitely worth the journey! Hallstatt is the most magical town in the Upper Austria lake district.

Bled Castle, Lake Bled

An overnight journey, taking the daily EuroNight from Vienna at 1:40 am, will bring you to Slovenia's most-famous spot in time for a lakeside sunrise. With its iconic island and castle, Lake Bled is a perfect backdrop for outdoor summer activities, including swimming, hiking and SUP-ing.

Venice

The famous city of canals is built across more than 100 small islands.

Colosseum, Rome

A 3h 48m direct train from Venice (with reservation) will bring you to Italy's geographic, political and cultural centre.

Pisa

Just under 3 hours from Rome is the famous Leaning Tower. It's just a 20-minute walk from the central train station.

Cinque Terre

The Cinque Terre is a stretch of five historic seaside villages along the Ligurian coastline: Riomaggiore, Manarola, Monterosso, Vernazza and Corniglia. An Interrail Pass is perfect for exploring them... Arrive at La Spezia central station (about an hour from Pisa), then take the Cinque Terre train. It connects each of the 5 villages and is covered by the Interrail Pass!

Ericeira

Our snapshot of Heather's 2-month itinerary concludes at the Atlantic coast in Ericeira, considered the surfing capital of Europe. It lies outside of Portugal's rail network but can be reached by bus from Lisbon in an hour.

To follow Heather's itinerary or to add even more countries, there is only one Pass for you - the Interrail Global Pass, with access to the rail networks of 33 European countries.
