Hello All,
I am planning a 25 day (4 weeks) trip with a friend during the second week of April. We purchased round trip tickets to Budapest from New York City ( It was more economical).
Rough draft of our itinerary thus far...
1.Budapest (4 Nights)
2. Prague (3 Nights)
3. Cesky Krumlov (2 Nights)
4. Ljubjana (2 Nights) - including day trip to Triglav National Park
5. Split (2 Nights)
6.Dubrovnik (2 Nights)
7. Kotor (2 Nights)
8. Mostar ( 2 Nights)
9. Sarajevo (2 Nights)
10. Budapest (3 Nights)
Side Note: We plan to stay in hostels, and have only one carry on backpack plus one personal bag/purse to make traveling place to place easier. Also on a $3,000-$4,000 budget.

We are still brainstorming the route of the trip and organizing the itinerary. For those experience travelers, my questions are the following:
Is the possibility of 9 different cities practical for a 4 week trip?
What cities should deserve more time visiting? (I know this is a subjective questions but realistically one would see more in a big city vs a small town etc) I kind of did my own estimate.
Do you have any recommendations of cities (within the same countries mentioned above or different) along the way or/and to remove from the list?
Lastly, aside from Eurorail is there any other alternative train transportation options within the regions we are traveling in? We are preferably looking for some type of pass but reasonable priced. I had some difficulties researching this one...
Thank you and cheers
