I am in Western Andalusia. I was planning to cross to France.

Trains to Madrid via Seville are difficult to reserve.

I was thinking, maybe I could go through Portugal, a pit stop in Lisbon, Galicia and cross through the north?

Is it a better idea? Or am I going to be stuck with the same reservation situation than in Spain?

Hello everyone, I want to interrail though Europe next summer (mis-june to mid-july approx.)

I want to go to places with history and culture but also places where I can relax by the sea with beautiful landscapes and hikes.

I'm departing from Lyon and we were thinking of doing the following itinerary:

1. Lyon → Barcelona
2. Barcelona → Marseille
3. Marseille → Milan
4. Milan → Bolzano
5. Bolzano → Venice
6. Venice → Ljubljana
7. Zagreb → Split

the Ljubljana → Zagreb train will be bought separately

Here are my questions:

1 - Apart from the selected cities, what other cities are worth visiting given the itinerary?

2 - Would you recommend visiting different countries other than the ones we plan on visiting?

3 - Taking into account train/ ferry trip duration, is our route ideal, especially around the northern countries?

Thank you for your help!
