FR and TGV Reservations

Hello all, we are a party of 3 (2 adults and a 16 yo child) from Indonesia. We plan to buy Eurail Global Pass for our June-July Europe trip. I need your help about reservations for FR and TGV Train within Italy, and from Milan-Paris, also Paris-Frankfurt. How can I do it? Can I have my friend who lives in Germany to do the reservation for us? If yes, please tell me how.Is it better to buy mobile Eurail Global Pass now, or later when I arrive at Rome? But I am afraid if we do it later, the reservation is already full since the time is already near and we have the fixed date for our itinerary. All the accomodations have been booked too.To make a train reservation, I think we need to have Eurail already, don’t we? I do appreciate all the suggestion and help. Thank you so much in advance. Regards, Mer

Train from Switzerland to Italy reservation must be printed?

I will be traveling from Switzerland to Italy on a EuroCity train soon. I read somewhere that in Italy you need printed tickets for cross border journeys. I have a mobile Eurail pass. Since I have a mobile pass and have printed my seat reservations, will this be ok? Or do I need to print and validate something else?

Help booking ticket with Pass in Switzerland

Hi, I bought a 4 day Eurail pass and am trying to book my first train ticket. When I go to book on the Eurail mobile app it is not giving me the same options as the SBB site. I am wanting to book from the Zurich airport April 26 at 12:15 to Schaan Bahnhof. On the SBB site it has a 12:15-14:11 option that does not show on the Eurail mobile app. How can I book that ticket?

Reservations lugano to strasbourg (via Basel) for first class

Hi All, thanks for the super answers you are providing! At the end of May, my wife and I will take the train from Lugano to Strasbourg (via Basel). It’ll be a weekeday and we’re flexible but prefer late morning. In your opinion, do we need a reservation? Our Eurail pass is first class. I’ve heard from some in the community that you don’t need a res in Switzerland. OBB is selling an 11:00am reservation for about 10 Euros per person. Necessary? Thanks!

Trenitalia 3 Day Pass - Paris to Verona, Italy NEED SEAT RESERVATIONS

My friend and his two teenage children are traveling from Paris Gare de Lyon to Verona Porta Nuova, Italy on 22 June 2023. They purchased the Trenitalia 3-Day Pass, and need seat reservations for this journey.This site is the only one I've found that has seat reservations for sale, but it's asking for the their Interrail Pass number. They don't have one because they have Trenitalia Pass.What do they do? Dose the Trenitalia Pass number work on this site? Thank you!

Florence to Bologna and Pisa

This is the route I’m planning tomorrow: Florence- Bologna, Bologna-Florence, Florence-Pisa. This will all be in 1 day. I’m sure it is, but wanted to double check, this is ok to do on the interrail pass?  I know I could skip returning back to Florence but it works out quicker and I will be in pisa at an earlier time.

Bologna train station

When looking at a route form Florence SMN to Bologna there are two options for Bologna train station (Bologna city and Bologna centrale). Are these the same or different because when I put in the exact same route, the arrivals time at Bologna city is 25 ish minutes before Bologna centrale. If I want to be in the city centre, is Bologna central the correct station to arrive at?

Help with train travel in Switzerland

I am flying into Zurich Switzerland. From there I am taking a train to Liechtenstein for a day, then to Lauterbrunnen and onto Murren where I will be for 4 days, back to Zurich, then Bruges, Brussels and Amsterdam. I am trying to decide if a 7 day Eurail pass would be best or a Swiss Half price pass and then point to point tickets for the rest of the train rides. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Bonjour, nous souhaitons voyager en Autriche et en Slovénie en août 2023. Je n'arrive pas à réserver un compartiment couchette dans le train de nuit direct qui part de Paris le vendredi soir pour arriver à Vienne le lendemain matin. J'ai le même problème pour revenir (Vienne à Paris) fin août. Est-ce que ces trains ne sont pas encore ouvert à la réservation ?

Reservations within Italy - Milan to Venice, Venice to Rome, Rome to Pompei, Naples to Florence

Hello,What is the recommended website (or alternative method?) to make reservations for train journeys within Italy?Would it be cheaper to do seat reservation at Italian train stations instead of pre-reserving online? Do they have Eurail quotas, so do we face the risk of not being able to reserve seats if we go to the station on the day?Travel period: Late June to mid JulyThe sectors we are going on the train within Italy are:Milan to Venice,Venice to Rome,Rome to Pompei,Naples to FlorenceDo the fast train between these cities always require seat reservations?

Beginners Advice for European tour in France and Italy

Hi There  Looking at a trip down to Florence (and back) from London taking in a few cities along the way mainly using Hotels and Airbnb. Route across France to Italy and back up though Switzerland and Belgium. Probably buying a month pass for each of us with 6-8 stops. Understand the principles of the card I think but confused by the actual booking of the trains. Every route I've looked at so far has said extra payment has to be made and just wondering what I'm buying the pass for 😕 Was I just unlucky or is that a fairly typical experience. Ideally I'd like to have all the trains booked up before we set off. Is that possible?  If anyone has done this sort of thing before and can give advice I'd be very grateful.  Thanks  Steve

Why do certain countries have no trains on the schedule?

I’m trying to travel through eastern Europe and have had trouble getting into and around Greece with interrail. There are no trains on the schedule from or to anywhere in Greece. Is this an error or is Greece no longer part of the interrail pass? Latvia also has the same problem which caused me to change my trip as I couldn’t get from Lithuania to Estonia.

Eurostar cancelled, can't rebook online, customer centre closed help please

Our Eurostar train has been cancelled for Tuesday 28th March.  We can't reschedule for that day online as their website is down and as it's the weekend, the Customer Helpline is closed. We have reservations. Can we deactivate this journey in our planner and rebook another train on that day via rail planner without loosing our reservation money (appreciate that we may have to have other seats).  We are desperate as we already have accomodation booked in Paris (non-refundable)

Seat reservation Brussels-Midi to Lyon Part Dieu

Hello train travelers,I wanted to make seat reservations for the direct train from Brussels Midi to Lyon Part Dieu on June 16 at 1-ish. However, I was told that this is not possible when I phoned the railway company.What is the best alternative? The railway app suggests traveling via Paris, but that connection doesn’t seem so good. Are there better routes?Thanks

Bologna, Verona, Genova, Chiasso

On my route from Pisa to Milan, I’m planning on stopping off for a few hours in either Bologna and Verona or just going to Genova. Then, on my way to Salzburg from Milan, I either want to stop in Verona (providing I haven’t already done this) or Chiasso. I’ll only be in these places for 3 hrs max each so was wondering which ones are worth visiting.
