I need train advise

I%26#39;ve purchased a five country train pass (France, Benelux, Germany, Switzerland, Austria) for late June to mid July. I want to take a train mid-afternoon from Paris to Vienna with a possible overnight stay in Switzerland. I have two nights to play with before arriving in Vienna. Any suggestions as to the route I should take?





Secondly I have the same situation after my seven night Vienna stay. I again have two nights to play with as I travel to Maastricht, Holland, via Amsterdam.





Any ideas for routes and overnight stays would be most welcome.

Well, if you take a mid afternoon train from Paris towards Vienna, you must spend the night anywhere in between. I would probably stop in Zurich or preferably Salzburg. To reach Amsterdam you need to transit Germany, whose TA forum might offer good advice.

If you%26#39;re travelling to Maastricht VIA Amsterdam I%26#39;d be tempted to spend the two nights actually in Amsterdam.

I took your advice into account, and decided to book one night in Zurich and the following in Salzburg.





On the trip to Maastricht I booked one night in Luxembourg and the next in Amsterdam.





Thanks so much for your advice. It really helped.
