Take your pick from five fabulous 10 travel day itineraries which include make the most of Eurail and InterRail passes!
If you're considering exploring Europe by train, we have saved you the effort of planning your trip, by producing five itineraries that can be followed with a Eurail or InterRail pass.
Follow our suggestions and you'll see the best of Europe, while saving money compared to the cost of purchasing last minute train tickets per journey.
Or use the Concierge rail travel planning service to craft your personalised optimum itinerary.
(1) You can follow all these itineraries with either a 10 Days within two months InterRail Global Pass OR a 10 days within 2 months Eurail Global Pass.
(2) Therefore you can spend some time in multiple fabulous locations between your days of train travel - you won't have to spend day-after-day riding the trains.
(3) They can be trusted, as ShowMeTheJourney has been lucky enough to travel on all of the journeys that have been included - he also took all the images used to illustrate each itinerary (and 99.99% of all the images you'll find on ShowMeTheJourney).
(4) They're circular, so start and finish in the same city, but it also means you can jump into the suggested routings and choose your own start and end city.
(5) They involve taking the fewest number of trains possible.
(6) They also avoid as many additional reservation fees as feasibly possible - one of them avoids ANY additional fees at all.
(7) They strive to ensure that all the connections between trains should be stress free
(8) We've also included as many fabulously scenic journeys as feasibly possible.
