Hoi, een vriendin en ik willen graag een interrail trip naar Praag, Milaan, Strasburg en Parijs gaan maken in 11 dagen. Wij hadden enkele vragen:Is iemand bekend met Strasburg? Het lijkt ons een mooie stad(je) maar is hier genoeg te doen? Ivm een redelijk korte reis willen we toch i.p.v. naar Wenen dichtbij Parijs en Milaan in de buurt. Heeft iemand anders andere leuke steden? Met welke treinen kun je reizen, die bij de pas horen? Waar is dit te vinden? Zijn dat de ‘partners'? Hoe is jullie ervaring met wel/geen zitplaatsen reserveren?

I’m looking for tips on finding cheap accommodation or opportunities to work in exchange for a place to stay. Does anyone have recommendations for websites, apps, or personal experiences with this?Any advice would be super helpful

I'm planning an Interrail trip from Bologna, Italy, to Istanbul, Turkey, passing through Italy, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Serbia, Greece, and Turkey.Since Albania and North Macedonia aren’t included in the Interrail pass, does anyone know if the train journey between Serbia and Greece is covered? Also, for those who’ve traveled this route, do you think the Interrail pass is worth it for these destinations, or would other transport options be better?Would love to hear about your experiences and tips!

We have a group of 4 traveling 1st class (2 couples).  We purchased our passes but the other couple hasn’t yet.  Does it help with allowing the 4 of us to sit together if we purchase the other their passes under our account so all 4 of us will be on the same account?  Or can they buy their own, and can we all 4 still get reservations to sit together?  Thanks.

Hi everyone, excuse me if I have got this wrong, but looking for some help. I have paid €411.00 for a 5 day global pass, I have had to pay almost 50euro for the eurostar and seat reservations on my journeys are somestimes 15/20euro. Does this sound right? It just seems expensive. Also is it normal to not be able to book trains yet in France and Spain for the first week of June? Thanks so much community! 

Hi, I was hoping to get some advice from experienced travelers and natives on this forum about my family’s travel plans. We are from the states, visiting Paris and Switzerland, and are debating between the Eurail Global Pass and the Swiss Pass. We will be staying in Paris for 2 days, traveling for 6 consecutive days around Switzerland, and finally staying another 2 days in Paris. We are not sure about our plans in each city yet but our train route is going to be:Paris → Geneva → Bern → Spiez → Interlaken → Grindelwald → Spiez → Luzern → Zurich → Interlaken → Zweisimmen → Paris Would a Eurail Global Pass or Swiss Pass be more logical for us? We are also open to suggestions and recommendations on what to do in each city as this is our first time in Europe. Thank you for your time.

Hi there, I'm unclear on the rules about outbound journeys. I have a global pass for one month. I plan to leave Glasgow and travel to the Hague as the first stop on my trip. The trouble is, i planned to take the overnight train from Glasgow which leaves at 23.40 on the first day of travel. I then plan to wake up in London and take the eurostar on to bruxelles at 09.10. I'm worried that I would use up my outbound travel day on the 23.40 train and then not be able to travel from London across the border the next day.  Do I need to make the outbound journey to cross the border all in one travel day (0.00-23.00)? Thanks.

Hi everyone!What is the official website to buy tickets for the Colosseum of Rome?I founded around 3 so im not very sure. Thanks! 

Hi everyone, in early March, I be travelling with my daughters with intended trip to start at Paris (2 nights), then Interlaken (1 night), then Rome (3 nights), then Florence (2 nights), then Nice (2 nights), then back to Paris (3 nights). Any advice or view if I should get all separate trip tickets or puchase a 5 days Eurail pass. I would like to check how much individual train ticket price costs and adds up before deciding on a Eurail pass. But how do i check at the app for individual trip price? Please advice. Thanks !

Hello everyone!I am trying to book seats for the middle of july as they are compulsory but they say there are no seats available, the carrier company is SNCF and the selling starts 150 days from the departure, it is possible that all the eurail pass holders are already sold? Our trip starts on 13th July. Thank you in advance!

Hi,I live in Vienna, and on all the Interrail passes that I have had, I have got 3 inbound/outbound journeys and not 2. As I use Interrail passes regularly to go to Paris, this is quite convenient, because by buying 2 youth months-long global passes during sales, 2 back and forth journeys cost about 200€ including reservations, which is as much expensive or even cheaper than day trains. I just need to buy the ticket from Vienna to Freilassing or to Salzburg for one trip, which is 30€ with a Bahncard 50. For 4-days passes, this is also quite convenient, as 3 out of 4 days can be used in Austria.I wonder: how is the number of allowed days of trips inside the country of residence determined ? So far, I have only seen 3 days inbound/outbound. I have understood that it depends on the time it can take to go to the border, but I am not sure that any trip in Austria must really take more than 1 day, even if 6 hours domestic train rides exist. Are there any country which get only 2 days ? Switz

Hi, I am Stan trying to go via train from Annecy to Geneva. Are there any direct trains in July? My current searches have some trains but they go via a lot of stations and take a very long time for a short 2 hr journey from Annecy to Geneva

Hi all, it's my first post. I'm travelling the beginning of July, a Saturday.  Flying into Zurich Switzerland and getting the train from the airport to Interlaken. I'll have an interrail card. My question is do I need to book the train beforehand or wait till I arrive. I do realise I can make as many bookings on that day. I'm just thinking if I'm delayed I'll have to make a second booking. Suppose I'm trying to gauge how busy trains are on Saturdays. Also I think the women's Soccer World Cup is on there too. 

l have purchased my global pass and then created my trip , l have attached my trip to my pass and l have made reservations and paid for them where required . For the journeys that have 3 train changes within the journey and l have to reserve seats on 2 of the legs but not required on the other 2 , how does the ticketing work ? l now only have a ticket for 2 legs of that day journey . As l have attached the trip to my pass does that suffice ?

[English below] Bonjour, je prevoi un voyage mais arrivé au payement des différentes liaisons payantes je recois une notification que "cette liaison n'est pas disponble.." (voir photo). Alors que dans l'élaboration de trajet ces trains sont disponible. Quelqu'un à une réponse/solution? Merci=> I planned a route with the available steps in the search/planner section but during the last step to pay the different small supplements it announces that they aren't available (see picture above). This doesn't make any sense right? Can someone help me out?

HalloA friend and I are going on interrail from end of June to July for around 30 days. We are planning to visit Berlin, Prague, Budapest, Ljubljana, Milano or some other city in Italy, Marseille/Lyon, Paris and Amsterdam, but we also want to be flexible and not lock anything in.So how long should we book hostels eks. in advance? It would be nice to book doing the trip, but not end up sleeping in some extremely sketchy place.Does anyone have some experience with this?(I could not find any answers which was not from 2 years ago, where covid was still a large factor)
