    Ok folks,

    As a massive football fan and lover of stadiums, I've decided to embark on a football pilgrimage around Europe.

    On the hit list of cities I will visit are Amsterdam, Barcelona, Madrid, Munich, Dortmund, Paris, Liverpool, Manchester, London, Milan and Rome.

    While I will find the stadiums no problem; I will need advice on travel and accommodation. I'm going solo and want to do this part on the cheap.
    Maybe someone with Inter-railing experience can help me? I'm assuming traveling the main land by train is the best option.

    Also has anyone got hotel/hostel recommendations for all these cities?

    hostelworld.com is probably the best booking site for hostels. I've booked places in a good number of cities on your list and you can get great deals in dorms.
    Just bring earplugs and get used to wearing them before departure.
    Travelling about, budget airlines can bridge some of the longer stretches, say Spain - amsterdam. For the trains, the national railways are the cheapest, but there are independent agencies like capitaine train (hope spelling is right) which collate the prices and are a great job for cross border services where the different countries have different pricing schemes. Like planes, you get deals for booking in advance on a certain service. You pay through the nose for flexibility or booking last minute.
    But no need for a rail pass anyhow unless you really value the flexibility.
