Hello. I have bought my pass and am now trying to book train and seats but struggling. We are travelling from Cardiff in July 2026 to London and then around France. When I add my route in the planner no trains appear so I don't understand how I get to see the trains or book seat reservations. Do I need to activate my journey in the pass section. Thank you for any advice. 

Hi,I am to buy an Interrail Italy mobile pass.I note that many local trains are not on my railplanner App.I will be in Rimini and as an example my app only shows one train to Ravenna each day at 21:29. There are many teains, around 1 train per hour through the day.So, if I were to use the 08:43 Rimini to Revanna as my first train of the day, and it is not on the Railplanner app how would I validate that days travel please??Thank you.Peter

Hola,Quiero recorrer Francia, me gustaría ir desde Hendaya a Estrasburgo, luego a París, a Nantes y vuelta a Hendaya (xq creo que desde España mismo no puedo salir, si pudiera mejor), pero he visto que para algunas reservas me van a pedir un plus, y no me deja mirar trenes y opciones para ver el costo final, xq igual me compensa ir en coche. Alguien me puede ayudar.Gracias 

We are travelling to Europe in Feb/Mar 2026. We are based in Cham, Switzerland and plan on visiting Rome, Florence, Milan, Munich, Paris and then some smaller trips from Cham/Zurich accross the border to Germany etc. We arrive 19 Feb and leave Mar 20. My questions are:Would it be worthwhile getting the Eurail? Most of our travel to tourist attractions will be via train. Would a 1 month pass cover Feb to Mar or would that count as two months? I dont understand the concept of “travel days” - can someone please explain.Apologies if these are dumb questions but this is our first time abroad. ThanksSavanna

Hey! I’ve just bought my global pass for 3 months next year - so excited! As part of my trip I want to get a ferry from Dubrovnik and then island hop around Greece. Is it possible to get a ferry and what pass will I need? Unsure whether to buy the four day Greece pass or whether to just get them when I get there?

Hi. I'm booked to travel from. Vienna to Zürich tomorrow (Tuesday) and have reserved a seat. However I can't travel tomorrow and want to change the booking to Wednesday. Where can I do this? Thanks 

Last week I bought two 4-day passes and two 5-day passes for my partner and me.Now I want to make seat reservations on the 4-day passes. But I can’t see what is the 4-day and what the 5-day pass. See picture (our names have been blacked out). 

Bonjour,Je cherche un trajet en train ou bus de Narvik à Trondheim pour février 2026 mais l'appli ne propose rien. Quelqu'un a t il un bon plan ? 

Hi, my friend and I are thinking of traveling around Europe from mid May until Mid July, the current plan is to stay in hostels and use workaway for accommodations. We'll be moving around every 3-4 days so I'm not entirely sure what our destinations are yet exactly. She has a dual citizenship in UK and Bulgaria, so we didn't think about it until now, but will it be fine to just go without and if not is there a blanket visa I can get because we're thinking to go to about 13-15 places and may use workday multiple times and i don't know what visa's I would need.Thanks.

transfer from arlanda airport to stockolm by trin is included without using a day of the 4 I have in the OCP

Can the pass be used on any of the ferries to cherbourg as the planner won’t allow me to route any way apart from eurostar. I was looking at portsmouth to cherbourg . thanks

Help needed - I'm trying to organise an itinerary for my 19 year old daughter and myself for December 25 Jan 26. With the schedule I’ve currently organised all we will be doing is sitting on a train travelling from town to town. SHe’s here for 3 weeks. What is the ideal amount of travel v’s staying in one town/city. Currently she flies into Frankfurt, then I thought 2 nights in Amsterdam, 3 nights in Munich (we have family here), then 4 nights in Garmisch-Partenkirchen for Christmas. Then Venice for 1 night, Milan for 2 nights, Nice for 1 night, Barcelona for 3 nights, Paris for 3 nights then back to Frankfurt for 1 night as that’s where she will fly out from.Is this too much travelling around? Should I cut one or two places out and concentrate on the other destinations. THis is VERY hard. Open to all suggestions.Thanks

I will be travelling around Germany in December. Frankfurt > Cologne $Euro111Cologne > Nuremberg $Euro159Nuremberg > MunichMunich > Vienna I find that the Eurail pass seems cheaper at 2 pax for USD $500.Whereas the DB train ticket price is as above. Are there any cheaper options out there still?Would also like to check is it a must to do seat reservation?

I am booking a trip from a town in England via London St. Pancras to Nuremberg. I put my departure time as 5 in the morning and it gives me the two legs of the journey with times, but I want more time to cross London and to go through passports etc. I cannot see how I can say I want to leave St. Pancras on a later train.

Hello Interrailers, It seems like the app does not want to show the travel possibilities on the 13th of December, at least for the journey I am planning to take - Copenhagen Central station to Brussels Central station.Is it a glitch or do other people have the same issue?Thanks for the help! 😁Oriane

Hi, I am attempting to activate a digital ticket to travel on a Trenord service. All the advice I have refers to a 14 digit code, although the Trenord App infers 15 digits (in a 5+10 format), but nothing I have on my order corresponds to this. Can anyone help, please. I am due to travel on 28 November, which is the day of another Italian rail strike, and that is another problem I will have to sort out. Kind RegardsMichael

Will there be a Black Friday discount this year? 

We have booked a trip from Prague to krakow and for some reason it keeps saying it’s adding a day and the trip taking 29 hours    has anyone seen this before?  We have removed it and tried it again but doesn’t seem to change  we don’t want to be charged for two days on the pass thank you!!  

Hi everyone, as I’m starting to plan next years travels I’m wondering about the value of getting a pass vs normal tickets for a teenager under 14.This year I just assumed that it would be worthwhile for my 12 year old son as it was for me, but then looking on the individual train companies, I realized that more often than not, he could have traveled for free, being with a parent, so I came to wonder how this is handled in every European country.Switzerland (my country of residence): kids under 16 can get a Junior Card (30 CHF for one year) and then travel for free if the accompanying parent has a valid ticket (Interrail pass included, at least that’s what a ticket inspector told me) Germany: kids under 14 travel for free with a parent, but have to be registered on the ticket (so as far as I understand not possible with an Interrail Pass).  Austria: same as in Germany but the age limit is 15 Italy: seems to differ from region and train type, but for example in Lombardy under 14yo travel

hey everyone, my name is Lars, i am 19 years old, from Belgium and will be travelling with interrail in september 2026. I speak fluent dutch, french and english I have no clue where i wanna go yet, so if you are seeking a travel buddy hit me up on instagram @lars.mussche 

Is there a reason why some Polish trains are not yet updated in the app? I am trying to travel between Cracow and Prague on December 15, but no trains show. On the Deutsch Bahn and Oebb websites, there are numerous trains. I have also been able to record trains between Warsaw and Cracow so it’s not that all Polish trains are missing. Any idea when these trains will be added? (And yes, I’ve added the train manually, but I would rather be using an actual ticket not a manual entry.)

I’m trying to go from Amsterdam Centraal (or Zaandam) to Coutances, France. I’m trying book for the day after tomorrow 11/23. I understand seats possibly running out due to how late I’m booking. But no matter how far in advance I check for seat reservations (this photo shows 11/28) every route I check which has Paris to Lison gives me an error code of E0620.  Is this the systems way of trying to tell me that they’re out of seats without actually saying it?
