We have been working on an itinerary for this summer travel from USA, in July. Based on feedback, here is another version. Appreciate any feedback. Some queries -
- what is the exact website for Euro rail - to book tickets and check train timings
- is there a non-stop train from Interlaken to Salzburg?
- for Salzburg to Rome, is there a non-stop day train? The only non-stop I found was an overnight one.
- would we require to rent a car anywhere? I know inter-city train system is good. But what about visiting places within a town/city?
