I’m travelling from Brussels to Berlin in June. The Brussels to Frankfurt leg is bookable now, but the Frankfurt to Berlin leg isn’t bookable until 60 days prior to departure. Can I book the first leg now and come back later to reserve the second leg?

Hi everyone!! I'm Antriana (19) from Greece, and I'm looking for people to travel with me during the summer (2026). Im open to any date (from July to September) and destination, except from my country and Turkey (I've been there a lot). If you want to discuss further, you can also find me on Instagram: _adriana_vr_

I'm planning a night train journey soon and have a question regarding the Interrail mobile app's behavior. I'm hoping some experienced travelers can help me out!My journey details are: Departure from Budapest-Keleti (19:10 on July 8th) and arrival at Dresden Hbf (05:53 on July 9th).From what I understood, for direct overnight trains, only one day should be marked as a travel day. However, the mobile app has marked both July 8th AND July 9th as travel days for this specific journey.I've attached two screenshots.  The first one shows the full journey preview, and the second highlights a potential change point at Břeclav (though the train number seems to continue as EN 40476).Is this normal be

Buongiorno a tutti, per i miei 40 anni vorrei regalarmi ciò che non ho fatto a 20 anni e cioè un viaggio in treno.A tutta la famiglia, soprattutto al bambino (9 anni) piace tantissimo viaggiare in treno e vorrei unire, viaggio in treno, nord europa e 40 anni.L’idea è arrivare al circolo, appunto a Rovaniemi per andare a trovare Babbo Natale, partendo in treno dall’italia e sfruttando i treni notte.Qualcuno l’ha fatto? vorrei capire i costi extra per ogni treno, naturalmente con il bambino dovro optare per una cuccetta o vagone letto. Dove posso trovare le informazoni sui sovrapprezzi e i treni inclusi?GrazieValeria

I’m traveling from Geneva to Bern on May 11, 2026 using my Global Eurail Pass. I would like to take the scenic route on the Golden Pass Express from Montreux to Spiez. Is the Global Eurail Pass still valid on all Golden Pass Express routes during 2026? Are seat reservations required or optional? Is there a chance that the train will be full if I do not reserve a seat? When I query a route from Montreux to Spiez via Zweisimmen, the Panoramic Express portions of the trip all note “Seat recommended.” Presumably this means seat reservations are optional. There is also a note that indicates that “Reservation fees vary based on the route,” but I’m not sure what this means. Any clarification would be appreciated.  

I would like to take a One-Country pass for France but I start my journey from Lausanne and come back to Lausanne (Switzerland). I cannot find out if the one country pass is available from Lausanne. 

how do I activate my pass on the first day of travel? Do I just board the train and what do I have to show that I have the pass? I am entering 2 travelers on the pass, do we each get a pass or is one pass good for both

Hello!I am trying to buy Minicabin reservations from Vienna to Rome on the 01/04 Nightjet on OBB’s website, but I am getting an error:“currently not available: Due to construction work or missing timetable information, it is currently not possible to book a reservation for this train. It is not yet possible to predict when the information will be available. Please check regularly to see whether your connection can already be reserved.”I’ve checked 10 days ago and everything was fine: now, there are no dates available until June or July and I’m wondering which alternative can work, because it doesn’t seem something related to lack of availability.It’s my first interrail and I’m travelling with my 12 yo daughter, I definitely need to be in Rome on the 03/04 morning the latest, because we have our flight from there to Cagliari on that day.I know I’ve waited too much for buying reservations, but we had

Hello,I’m not a newbie to European travel, having used the paper pass ages ago without problem, but now I’m concerned and confused about the digital disconnect between reserving seats and the pass activation and ticket QR code generation on the Rail Planner app. We have flights and hotels and trains picked and planned, I have seat reservations for our group of 4 for trains in Germany, Switzerland, and Italy (Amsterdam to Florence).  All of us have 10-days-in-15 days passes for the trip, and I’ve planned out the big connections so I could reserve seats.  Only the Switzerland to Italy train actually required a reservation.  Here’s where I get confused: if there are limited seats for Eurail pass holders on trains that require reservations, and the pass and reservations are completely disconnected, could a train hypothetically “sell out” and deny us the ability to activate and select that train for boarding with the pass, even though we have reservations for it?  Do

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

Hallo, ich brauche Hilfe: Ich hatte bereits eine Reservierung für die Fahrt am 19.04. von Zaragossa nach Sevilla um 08:55 Uhr bis 13:41Uhr gebucht und gekauft. Jetzt bekomme ich eine Mail von Renfe das der Zug 3872 nicht fährt. Ich finde für diesen Tag aber weder eine andere Verbindung nach Sevilla für mein Interrail-Ticket, noch wüsste ich wie ich die Reservierung umtauschen kann oder wie ich die mir zurückerstatten lassen kann? Gibt es hier wirklich keinen anderen Verbindung nach Sevilla und was mache ich dann ? Bitte um Hilfe Danke Peter

Hi, I am travelling from Münich to Bologna 18th july. Due to construction work, there are no trains between Innbruck and Brennero, but busses. In the time table it looks like a lokal train though? And I can only reserve seats to Brenner st. And not all the way to Bologna. Any experience with those trains? Can 5 people travel in them in peak season with no seat reservations? And how does the train busses works with seating? Any suggestion for another route going to Bari? /Karina
