Inspired by another thread I just saw, I've decided to ask people to rate my planned route.
It's meant to be a 1-month trip and I plan on using mostly trains to move between countries.
I'm also planning to spend most of my time touring around cities, using buses / bicycles.
I'll try to couchsurf my way through the trip, hopefully meeting lots of friends and creating lifelong memories in the process.
Would not object (it is actually pretty cool) if I could visit some villages / nature reserves along my travels.
Would also love other tips as this is my first long trip abroad (and my first trip that's over a week long).

You're passing Ghent. Check it out. It's more than worth it. Not as touristy as Bruges, but bigger and more authentic.

German here.
Don't take the Autobahn if you want to see small villages and medium cities. On the bigger roads you can still go 100km/h
You only want to see Berlin and Cologne? I would prefer very much Hamburg over Cologne. The "feeling" of Hamburg is great imho.

I'll try seeing if i can fit it in!
thank you.

I'm planning to take a train through germany, i'm choosing hamburg over cologne because:
a. it is highly recommended by some friends
b. i have friends i can meet there
c. it's much more "on the way" compared to hamburg
thank you for your thoughts though.

seems ok but ur missing out on Bavaria
I guess you'd have to radically alter the route but Bavaria is quite different from other locations on that list, while Prague and BP (and even Vienna to some extent) are quite similar
then again if you don't really care about the small towns and countryside scenery and shit, I do personally prefer all three of those cities to Munich so your call I guess.
also I was born and raised in BP, maybe it's different if you've never been around here

my original plan was to go from prague to munich, then salzburg, then vienna, then budapest.
unfortunately, given that i have a 1-month limit and seeing as i didn't want to have 2 nights at each stop (that is, i want to have at least 3), i had to put that on hold.
it's quite possible that next year i'll go on a skiing trip on the austrian alps / make a trip that is a bit more in depth in the area of salzburg/munich.

Consider checking out Rotterdam, Delft and Utrecht as well when you are in the Netherlands. Great for daytrips.
