Interrail Train Routes in Europe

The Classic July 2000 rail route, featuring Hull, Zeebrugge, Innsbruck, Genoa, Avignon, Calais and Dover is still a winner. Ah, the good times…

I’ve been asked by one reader how I first got into Urban Travel, and the probable answer is my first European interrailing trip whilst I was at university in 2000. It was a comical dash through some of Europe’s great cities, packed with anecdotes (many of which are not repeatable on a family site).

Looking back on the route we took, though, I still think it’s a good one…
