I'm overwhelmed with all the rail travel options there is to choose from, and I need some advise!
I'm taking classes for two weeks in Podova, Italy, and while I'm there, I'm going to check out Venice, Rome, and maybe Cinque Terre.
After that I'm traveling with another girl for an additional 17 days (minus one day for travel to the airport).
We have a pretty rough itinerary, mostly ideas:
Padova, Italy
Berlin (might be too far) for 4 days
Amsterdam for 2 days
Bruges for 1-2 days (just watched that Colin Farrell movie, but this stop can be cut out)
France, Paris, and another city in Southern France, any suggestions? for 5 days
Barcelona 4 days, flying home on the 5th day from Barcelona
Any tips or suggestions about those, or different regions or cities to visit or my time would be appreciated!! It's just us two girls, 23 yo, looking for night life, scenery, museums, beaches.
I was looking into the Eurail Select Pass for 5 countries ($395-455), the Eurail Global Pass for 15 continuous days ($469) or 10 days w/in 2 months ($555), or just buy individual tickets to each destination. Money is definitely tight, and anywhere I'm able to cut is great!
I appreciate any advise or tips from you guys!
Oh yeah, and I'm leaving in three weeks..eek
