1. Is my itinerary doable?
2. How long is the train travel time in each place/country i visit? Rome to Florence, Florence to Venice, Venice to Zurich & Zurich to Paris
3. Can i use the Eurail Pass all the time? If not, what are the trains i'm supposed to use? Can you give me a rough estimate of the train fare?
4. What are the things i shouldn't miss in each place? tourist spots & food
5. How is the weather for say May or June, i'll be there on my honeymoon
Our budget not including airfare is 1,700 euros for 2 persons. This includes food, entrance fees, trains, buses & other miscellaneous. Please FEEL FREE TO CORRECT if the prices & time are feasible. Paris & Zurich are just side-trips, it doesn’t matter if we don’t see EVERYTHING. The key is we got to visit France & Switzerland.
Thank you sooo much for all the help!
