A Guide to Interrail (My Experience, Best Routes, Saving Money, Packing + Tips!) | Jack Edwards

My ultimate survival guide to Interrail 2018! I went Interrailing around Europe last summer (vlogs linked below) and had the most incredible time EVER, so wanted to share my top tips, money saving hacks, best routes, and general tricks that I picked up en route. We travelled from Paris, to Munich, Ljubljana, Lake Bled, Budapest, Vienna, Cesky Krumlov, Prague, Berlin, and Amsterdam. Let's make your trip more Interrail than InterFAIL.

I went interrailing last summer at the end of my A levels too! i went to paris, marseille, florence, rome, venice, budapest and vienna! if i had gone for longer or if i were to do it again i would love to go to amsterdam, berlin, munich etc... i loved interrailing so much, I'm a very anxious person but doing this really helped me chill out. Even though we hit a few walls we always made it in the end!!! i only went with one person and next time i will definitely go with a group but it's such a great way to travel and see some amazing places :) loved hostels, the sights, the food, the trains. all of it was amazing and looking back i will remember it forever!! also wish i had this video before i went its soooo helpful!!! xx

If I can make a suggestion based on my personal experiences of traveling in Europe, don’t eat or shop around the touristy areas. Those are usually higher in price and are less authentic. When I was in Italy, I went down so many side streets in Bologna, Rome, and Florence and paid significantly cheaper for food and the food was much more authentic. Plus the small bars found down side streets are sometimes much more fun. I went to one in Rome (reply to this comment if you want to know which one) in Trieste and it was such an amazing experience. It was incredibly cheap. The drinks were amazing. The bartender was friendly. The patrons were accepting and just chill. I went there twice in 1 night. 1 time before a group dinner (I was on a week long study abroad trip with my history department) and me and like 4 other students went back for round 2 later that evening before hitting the clubs.

Overnight trains also cut the cost of hostels for the night ;)

[violahelen_]

I literally filmed a vid on how to plan a gap year that's being uploaded right now! 😂 I really, really want to go Interrailing - maybe this winter ;)

One annoying thing about the InterRail rules is that there's no allowance for day trains arriving after midnight. There is the 19:00 rule for overnight trains, but nothing for day trains. This is different from national tickets which often are valid into the small hours (e.g. UK ones, including national/regional rovers and rangers, are valid until 04:29).

Omg, Lake Bled looks amazing, I need to visit Slovenia this year, such a green and beautiful country!
