Hi, first time posting and first time trying to plan European train travel other than Eurostar. We would like to find out how easy/difficult it would be to travel from London to Stockholm during November. Would be 1 adult, 1 youth, 1 senior passenger. How would we do it, how would we book tickets, what tickets etc. Any help very much gratefully appreciated 

Dear community,we like to visit small towns off the beaten track. Are buses in Denmark included in the Interrail Global Pass? For example; • from Allborg to Hou Kirke If the buses aren't included, does anyone have a tip for us on how to use all public transport in Denmark most cost-effectively? Are there network tickets? Weekly tickets or similar? Another question: does a student ID card equal a Youth Card, which allows you to buy a child's ticket on local public transport? Thanks for your knowledge. Your YaYeWi family

Looking to travel to Europe in June. Possibly starting in Spain, through south france and ending in northern Italy. Trying to focus my trip on eurail routes, how do I ensure I am choosing the most efficient routes (ie. direct trains) with limited stops?

Hello, I’m buying an Interrail Global pass of 2 months in a row and I have two questions for my next trip. I’m Italian and I must return to Italy after the start of my journey for 1-2 day/s. I’m thinking to buy a separate ticket from Trenitalia to travel from Italy to Switzerland and use the remain days of global pass to travel. -Firstly, is my interrail still valid ( obviously outside my home country ) after I have used outbound/inbound days? and the second question is:   -Can I use outbound/inbound days for two outbound ? For this second chance I could buy the separate ticket from Switzerland to Italy and I can use the second outbound to go in Switzerland again. For the return I’ll buy another ticket from Trenitalia.

Hello !Does anyone have an axperience about travelling with a dog and an interrail pass ?We want to travel in France and Italy with our dog next week ( 29 march-6 april). We havn't buy the interrail pass yet because we can't find a clear information about how to buy him his ticket.Indeed, we can buy a ticket for a dog in the website if we buy an adult ticket. But with interail we dont buy an adult ticket. So how to buy the dog ticket ? We already called trenitalia and they dont have an answer. So we are a bit blocked.Thanks a lot !

Hey everyone! I'm planning my Interrail journey starting from Milan around July 20. My goal is to visit seven cities before flying back to Milan. So far, my plan includes Milan → Ljubljana → Prague → Krakow, but I still need to pick three more destinations.One idea I have is to continue with Vilnius → Tallinn → Helsinki, but I’m not sure if that’s the best choice. I’m looking for cities that are affordable, have great nightlife for young travelers, and offer a fun atmosphere.Do you have any recommendations for exciting and budget-friendly destinations? I'd love to hear your suggestions! 

Hi,I am ready to book my first set of reservations for my sister and myself.I want to book us on a train from Paris to Lucerne in August.  I did a search that said we should use Gare de Lyon in Paris.I went to buy the reservations but they only list Basel and they don’t mention Lucerne.Do the reservations just say the name of the first city and not the name of the second train when you change trains?Please help. I don’t want to buy these if I’m doing it wrong and find out my reservation doesn’t work for the second train.Should I book each leg of the trip separately?And, is okay to book all my reservations through the Eurail website here where I bought our Euraill passes.Here is the itinerary I am reserving.  Is the leg from Basil to Lucerne no reservation because none is needed? 12:22Paris Gare De Lyon (France)3h 4mTGV 9213TGV Duplex LyriaOperated bySNCF VoyagesDire

It's my first time in Europe.  My family of 4 is traveling from Salzburg to Roma on April 13.  The train leaves Salzburg at 8:56 goes to Woergl Hbf (seat recommended) from Woergl Hbf to Bologna Central (seat recommded), Bologna Central 16:37 to Roma Termini 18:40 (seat reservations required) and finally Roma Ostiense to Roma S. Pietro.  Seeing this I bought the seat reservations from Bologna Central to Roma Termini.   Does this mean that I automatically will be able to get on the other trains or is it possible we won't be allowed on the other trains if we don't have seat reservations.  For example, I tried to get a seat reservation from Woergl Hbf to Roma Termini but I was unable to because it looked like the train was full.  Does this mean that I won't be able to do that leg of the journey and if so do I have to find a different way to get to Bologna Central by 16:37

Hello, I’m scheduling a trip by train with my kids from Madrid to Milan with different stops (Valencia, Barcelona, Girona, Montpellier, Frejus, Sanremo, and Milan). We should leave Madrid on the 20th of April and be back in Milan on the 2nd May. I have to arrive in Frejus on the 27th April to attend a wedding the day after. I would like to know if someone did a similar trip, or if you have any recommendations counsciuos of the fact that we won’t spend too much time in each city (Barcelona apart).Thanks,Cecilia

Hi, my husband and I will be flying in to Prague and spending a few days there before heading to Vienna. After spending a few days in Vienna, we would want to go to Salzburg, Hallstatt and a few other places of interest in Austria. All by train.The business class train ticket from Prague to Vienna is EUR 153.60 per person. I have not checked the train fares from Vienna to Salzburg and onward to Hallstatt and eventually, back to Vienna to fly home.Here are my questions:-(1) If I were to buy the 1st class Eurail pass for both my husband and I, do I still need to go to OBB website to book seats from Prague to Vienna? I am planning to book the business class seats in Railjet train(2) What pass can I use within Prague and within Vienna? I understand that the Eurail pass is not the same as the Swiss Travel Pass; whereby, the latter can be used on all modes of transport within the country and within every canton(3) Can the Eurail pass be used to tra

Hi. Trying to get my head around this pass.I have booked separate seat reservations on both the Eurostar & Interlaken > Lucerne Express for particular dates in August.I have added these journeys on the Eurail Planner app. Will I need to activate my pass now to save the train bookings for these dates? If I wait to activate, is there a possibility the trains will book out, making my seat reservations useless?

If on my trip with ICE from Amsterdam to Luzern , we miss the connection in Olten to Luzern,  can we use the next train without any ussues?

Salut, je pars en vacances du 31 juillet au jusqu’au 7 aout environ en Italie, je fais le début du voyage avec des amies mais je pars à Florence le 4 aout toute seule, je recherche donc par hasard si une fille passait aussi par Florence à ces dates pour faire cette partie du voyage :))

My husband and I are going to travel together, but keep our own pass on our own mobile (so that we still have a mobile as backup should we lose a mobile, and can get the lost pass reactivated on the remaining mobile with some customer services help).My question is how I connect a trip to passes that sit on separate mobiles. All the instructions seem to be about connecting trips to passes that sit on the same mobile.  I have already booked any necessary rain reservations for us jointly, so that is not a problem. I hope someone can help. 

Hola buenas tardes entiendo que para realizar las reservas de Madrid a Toledo no se pueden realizar por la aplicación ni por la WEb de Eurorail y que en algúnos casos indican que debo dirigirme a las ventanillas de Renfe para realizar la compra del boleto. Alguien sabe cómo realizar la reserva en línea en la página de Renfe, pero obteníendo los precios de descuento que muestra Eurorail en la App.Gracias

Hey! Couple of asks here if anyone could help me please?How easy is it to get to platform 2? I've been looking at the map for Midi train station and I think it's on the ground floor so there's no need to worry about coming down escalators?I'm not great with coming down on an escalator.Is it straight forward to get from Ghent to Bruges and is it better to get single tickets for each way?

I can easily find trains on Eurail website to give me trains to get me from A to B.  But that train, if not direct, will make stops.  How can I find out what those stops are and at what times?  I can’t see to do that on the Eurail site.   Thanks.

Sorry for asking again.I want to book an overnight train, in this case a bunk bed, for two adults, one child who has a pass, but another who doesn't because he's 3 years old. How do I reserve a bunk bed for the 3-year-old? Or is he supposed to sleep in an adult's bunk and not have to reserve anything?I can't find a customer service contact, and the automated chat doesn't resolve this. Thanks!

Hello,my Friends and I are planning a trip trough the Balkan states.In the Balkan states, only very few connections are shown on the official railway map, for example in Serbia. Is it possible to take trains that are not registered at the Railwaymap, like regional trains, with the Interrail pass? Thanks for help

My husband and I want to travel to Italy with our baby. We saw the Global Pass for 4 travel days within 6 months. But we actually just need 2 travel days (from Germany to Italy, and a week later from Italy back to Germany). Can we use the remaining 2 days for a second trip to Italy if we stay within the 6 months? Like do the same trip again a few months later? Thank you!

Hi all. I'm worried about sometimes only having 5 minutes between interchange trains. If a bought a ticket from Zermatt to Interlaken but for example the train interchange for Visp to Spiez is only 5 minutes do I ignore that and just get on next train.? How does this work with reserved seats and luggage?. Sue 🤗
