Adriatic Adventure

15-day independent rail, bus and ferry trip from Budapest to Corfu

Eurailing Packages runs this 15-day independent journey from Budapest to Corfu, using rail, bus and ferry connections across Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania and Greece. There is no escorted tour guide; instead, a dedicated travel app and 24/7 professional support back up travelers as they explore each stop on their own, including Ljubljana's Old Town, Split's Diocletian's Palace, Dubrovnik's City Walls, the Bay of Kotor, Tirana, and Sarandë's Ionian coastline before finishing on the Greek island of Corfu. Most stops get two nights, giving time to see the UNESCO World Heritage sites named in the itinerary without rushing. Accommodation ranges from hostels to 3-4 star hotels depending on what travelers choose for each city. It suits travelers who want a long, multi-country rail-based route through the Balkans and Adriatic coast, planned and ticketed in advance, but explored independently rather than with a guide.

What to know before you look closer

There is no escorted tour guide; support comes through a travel app and 24/7 phone assistance, and you explore each city independently.
The days between city stops are not detailed in the itinerary beyond the arrival description for each stop, so exact travel routes and connection times aren't listed here.
Accommodation ranges from hostel to 3-4 star hotel depending on what you choose, so the standard of your room can vary by city.
