We're doing our first interrail to the Baltics on a 7day pass and wondering about the best route there. We're thinking of getting to Amsterdam from Oxford on the first day then using the second day to get to Gdansk probably via Berlin. Is this the best route?We've also looked into booking the sleeper to Berlin via Brussels but found some problems which put us off. It looks like, when booking through the app, the number of sleeper reservations are limited for pass holders and also bookings don't open til late Jan, so.we're worried about missing the booking slot. Using a different booking tool, reservations for our mid July dates were possible but it looked like (even though i entered our pass details) it was going to cost the same as if we didn't have a pass- and booking an Amsterdam hotel near the station would be cheaper. Am I missing something? Also as the sleeper crosses 2 days presumably this will use 2 days worth of pass even if we go no further than Berlin on our first

Hallo ZusammenIch ziehe in Betracht im nächste Jahr 2026 eine Interrailreise zu machen und wollte gerne die Erfahrungen Meinungen von euch wissen. Mein Reise soll starten in Bukarest wo ich 5 Tage bleibe. Danach habe ich gesehen das es einen NZ gibt ab Bucuresti Nord Gara A um 17.58 mit Ankunft um 08.50 in Budapest Keleti.Ich habe gelesen 2 mal kontrolliert wird an der Grenz dass man aussteigen muss und bei der Grenzstelleoffice den Pass vorzeigen muss ist das richtig?Ist das richtig wenn ich um 17.58 ab Bucuresti abreise und das so eintrage im Interrailpass das es als 1 Tag zählt ausser wenn ich umsteige das ich ein 2 tag einschrieben muss was bei dieser Verbindung nicht der Fall wäre?Ich habe mich mal umgeschaut für ein Schlafwagen Preis bei der Ungarischen Bahn und habe gesehen für ein 2er Abteil Schlafwagen bezahlt man 42 Euro für 1 Single sind es 98 Euro was für den Preis recht günstig ist. Was ist da zu empfehlen Tipps Erfahrungen?

Hi! Im traveling from Utrecht to kopenhagen and back twice in 1 month, thus I bought the interrail pass for 4 days in 1 month. I have a free student travel pass in the Netherlands in the weekends, thus I wont have to use my in and outbound the first time traveling. Is this possible? How do I turn that option off? Or is using the outbound mandatory the first day you travel? I have a transfer at Hengelo, so I thought about activating my interrail pass then (or the first stop after the border, so in germany). What is the best thing I can do? I couldnt find the answer at the forum. Thanks in advance!

Hello Everybody,today Saturday is the very first time I use 10 day pass Eurail. I have activated the pass, bit I only receive a the Tiket with a code wuth numbers and letters. Is it necessary to receive a tiket with QR code like others ?and second, it appear a botton with One day available, when I should clik this bottom or it is automatic when the tiket is cheked in the train by the controller ?Many thanks for your help

I want to make sure I understand how it all works.  I purchase the pass now (7 travel days), travelling in May 2026.  I can activate the pass now or later.  I must activate the pass to be able to reserve on trains.  I can reserve starting 90 days prior to train travel date, but not before. Do I have to do anything for my pass at any train stations or do I just show up and board my train?Appreciate your time!

Hi! I’m Alessio, an 18-year-old student from Italy :)I’d love to go on a trip in July or August 2026. I’ve already visited several European countries, including Spain, Greece, and France, which I absolutely loved! I’m open to different destinations — ideally somewhere in Northern Europe, but that’s not a strict requirement.What really matters to me is sharing a great experience with great people, so I’m looking for someone who’d like to travel together and have fun.I’d also love to meet up with people along the way — maybe in some of the places I’ll visit — to share part of the journey or just spend some time together.A bit about me: I have lots of different interests, so I’m sure we’ll find things in common! I enjoy cooking, listening to music, watching and playing football, TV series, movies, and taking photos.I’m also a very adaptable person — I try to make the best out of every s

hello!I’m trying to book the Fjordline ferry from Hirtshals to Kristiansand using the interrail discount code that is given on the Fjordline site. The site says that for my chosen date of departure there are no more tickets available. If I don’t enter the code the website lists the departures of this day normal. So my problem appears not because the trips are fully booked, but apparently due to the interrail-discount… Am I doing something wrong?t(he code does not work on specific days but the MS ferrys you can use the code on drives these days)Thanks a lot!

Hello,I am trying to plan a train trip from Barcelona Spain to Paris France. I am looking to travel on Thursday August 13, 2026. I noticed they have a direct train (6hr 46 min) for June and July but not for August. Instead, you are required to take several connecting trains with trips much longer than 6hrs in total. Is there some kind of planned outage for that line in August 2026?Thank You for your help.Shawn
