Itineraries 1 month itinerary plan for July
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 -
3 days in Paris, including day trips to Versailles and potentially Mont St Michel
Train to Geneva and then bus to Chamonix for a day
Train to Interlaken and at least 2 days there to take in the scenery
To Milan for 2 days
Half-day trip to Lake Como
Pisa for a day as it's a small town
Pisa to Bolzano for at least 2 days in the dolomites, potentially longer because I've been wanting to go for so long
Through the mountains on a direct train to Munich, including a day trip to Neuschwanstein castle, must see
Short hop to Salzburg but I may miss this out and go straight to Vienna?
Vienna for a day and a half
Bratislava for a day and a half, so Vienna and Bratislava over 3 days
Over to Budapest for at least one full day, I've previously been for a day so might need too long there
Overnight sleeper train to Prague for the experience and then one day there
2 days in Berlin
A day in Cologne, do I need two?
Amsterdam for 2 days minimum
Brussels for a day, is it worth going to Bruges and Ghent also?
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?
