Itineraries 1 month itinerary plan for July

Post image

Hi guys, I've been wanting to take a trip around Europe and the 1 month continuous pass is £227 right now (£295 1st class) so I've planned an itinerary and want some feedback on if there are some places I am missing.

The trip will take 25-30 days, depending on if I add more locations or stay longer in some places.

I will start and end in London during the month of July, the plan goes as follows -

  1. 3 days in Paris, including day trips to Versailles and potentially Mont St Michel

  2. Train to Geneva and then bus to Chamonix for a day

  3. Train to Interlaken and at least 2 days there to take in the scenery

  4. To Milan for 2 days

  5. Half-day trip to Lake Como

  6. Pisa for a day as it's a small town

  7. Pisa to Bolzano for at least 2 days in the dolomites, potentially longer because I've been wanting to go for so long

  8. Through the mountains on a direct train to Munich, including a day trip to Neuschwanstein castle, must see

  9. Short hop to Salzburg but I may miss this out and go straight to Vienna?

  10. Vienna for a day and a half

  11. Bratislava for a day and a half, so Vienna and Bratislava over 3 days

  12. Over to Budapest for at least one full day, I've previously been for a day so might need too long there

  13. Overnight sleeper train to Prague for the experience and then one day there

  14. 2 days in Berlin

  15. A day in Cologne, do I need two?

  16. Amsterdam for 2 days minimum

  17. Brussels for a day, is it worth going to Bruges and Ghent also?

  18. Back to London

I will be using the 1st class pass (£295) and mandatory reservations will come up to £200 and then optional bookings around £30, so for £530 am I getting good value?

For accommodation, I've budgeted £1000 as I don't mind staying in hostels the entire time

£300 for tickets to attractions, most things are free to see

£500 for food as I don't mind making my own sandwiches from lidl/supermarkets etc, and one budget/mid-range restaurant meal a day

So all in under £2,500, do you think this a good plan and are there any places I need to stay longer, reconsider or add?
