Driving in Europe

Not a Eurail question really. I am from Australia and my friend and I want to see some out of the way places and are considering hiring a car rather than buses and trains. However we drive on the left side of the road. Is it safe and is it very hard?? We would only do it in the regional areas not in the cities and big towns. Cheers, Renee

7 dias con global pass

Hola, quisiera saber si al obtener el global pass de 7 días, el destino final de llegada debe estar contemplado en el 7mo viaje. Por ejemplo, mi duda es si con ese pase podría viajar saliendo de España, yendo a Paris, Londres, Holanda, Bruselas, Frankfurt, Barn, Milán y por último regreso a España o debo regresar a España desde Barn?

First timer to Europe!

Hello all! I will be visiting Europe for the first time this coming September (solo trip)! I have been looking into getting the Eurail pass but I am still a bit confused as to how this all works and I was wondering if I could get some help please! I’m from the United States, specially ohio and we do not use trains here. I am flying into Paris then traveling to Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest then flying to Dublin. I am assuming the 5 day pass is what works best for me? I want to do the first class pass because I want the space but is it worth it for just me? also, where will my huge suitcase be stored? and how do I know if I am on a high speed train or not? I see all these people talking about different types of trains and I also see when I need a seat reservation but I don’t see it ever say specifically “this is a high speed train”! I’d rather just get to my destination as quick as possible, I don’t need the scenery trip. Thank you! Savannah

Dudas reservas billete interrail

Buenos días. Esta va a ser mu primera aventura en interrail y tengo dudas. Una vez compré el billete de interrail se puede reservar el tren en la aplicación rail planner, aunque no haya que reservar asiento? Es que veo que en los trenes disponibles se agotan los horarios. Entonces planifico un viaje y si no puedo reservar cuando llegue la fecha ya no hay trenes. Cómo se puede hacer? No entiendo. Si voy a la aventura, entonces no me compensa porque no puedo viajar donde y cuando yo quiera. Gracias

Stuck in Copenhagen - train cancelled

Hi, me and my friend are currently travelling with an interrail ticket from Bremen to Malmo C. Due to the øresund bridge being closed we are stuck in Copenhagen until at least midnight. Does anyone know if we are entitled to compensation for the hotel room we booked in Malmö or the hotel room we will need to book for tonight in Copenhagen?

Seat reservation TGV to Belgium. SNCF does not list non-French destinations.

I have booked a ticket in the eurail app for Lille (France) to Brussels (Belgium).The app says I need a seat reservation, but I am not able to make a seat reservation with a destination outside of france. You have to use the SNCF (French nat. train service) web site or app for the TGV trains, however this app won’t let you reserve seats for trains that exit France.

Simple question about starting from zero from the most clueless newbie possible

Wife wants to travel by train from Paris to London on Thursday, 20th of April. I go to the Eurail and other site’s pages, a train schedule she wants is available. When I try to buy a ticket, it says it wants either a Paper Pass number or some other type of information she does not have. What is the first step she must do to begin the process of buying a train ticket from Paris to London? Thank you in advance, Robert for Tania

Is it better to buy two passes if I am spending a month in one place

Hi I am thinking of travelling Europe later this year and was thinking of spending 6 weeks travelling Europe before stopping and spending a monthish to travel Switzerland before doing another two months of internal travel. Should I figure out how many days I will need to travel each month and buy several one month, 3,5,6 etc travel day passes as I will be going for longer than 3 months?

How can I find my ticket

In order to add the ticket I bought to my visa file, I need a pdf format with my personal information and payment information on it. I could not find any information about my ticket anywhere on the site. I can only reach e-ticket from the incoming mail, but this is not enough. How can I download my ticket in pdf format? Can anyone help?

Timetable information for Spain

Hello all, Can anybody suggest a reliable source for timetable information for Spain? I have been using RENFE, and not finding much to suit my schedule, and then I decided to try DB and RailEurope, and found many more options listed. RENFE does not seems to list connecting trains (eg Apr 24 Madrid-Granada only shows 3 AVE services, but DB/RE show additional connecting trains via Cordoba, yes, would need two reservations) and does not list local trains (eg Apr 29 El Chorro - Malaga) at all. Very happy to use DB as a source of timetable information if it’s reliable. Also, I saw a post that said that seat reservations for Spain could be done via DB. I haven’t found a way to do this, get reservation not possible message. Is this still possible? Not a major problem as I will have done to make reservations while in Spain. Thanks George

first time interrail- spain and portugal

Hello Community! My sister and i are planning our first interrail trip for 4 weeks in may and June. Because it will be our first interrail tour, we hope to get some help from you. I informed myself a lot, but I'm very confused, because of so much informations. First I will show you the route we want to do: We will start at 25.05.2023 in Valencia? Then: Valencia to Alicante, Alicante to Granada, Granada to Cordoba, Cordoba to Sevilla, Sevilla to Faro, Faro to Lagos, Lagos to Lisbon, Lisbon to Madrid, Madrid to Barcelona, Barcelona to Marseille, Marseille to Nice, Nice to Venedig or Nice to Milan, at the end back to Germany. My questions: I noticed that there are seat reservations required in Spain. Can I book them in advance from Germany at a DB shelter? Or do I have them to book on a RENFE site? First, we thought about buying a global pass, 15 days in two months. Do you think it's better to take less days and use buses instead of trains? Are buses like ALSA a good opportunity to travel

help in planning my 3 weeks in Italy and how to get best use of Interrail Pass.

Based in London, I’m a senior, solo traveller, and in Italy only having seen Rome and Florence briefly some 50 years ago, Then a sad trip to Venice (nothing to do with the city) in 2010. I want to get to know Italy, particularly its food and wine. I’m a freelance writer and translator. I am attending a 1-week retreat in Perugia from 15 April and I would like to travel in Italy for 3 weeks after that, from 22 April to 13 May. Should I get an interrail pass for ??? days travel in 1 month? Can I use the Interrail to get to Perugia from the airport when I arrive from London? I can fly into Florence or Bologna. The 2nd class Interrail pass does not let you take airport train in Florence, it seems. Does this make sense economically? How do I get the most of the Interrail Pass in my situation. I am not interested in being everywhere, but rather in staying in a place at least 2,3 days and get to know it and its people. The wines I adore from Italy are not the expensive big names, no Super Tusc

EU-citizen residing outside of the EU

Hi, I cannot find a proper answer to which pass I have to buy. I hold a German passport but do reside outside of the EU (in Namibia): Which pass must I buy? The use of residency and nationality seems quite mixed up to me in the conditions. Thanks

Swiss Train Prices Unavailable

Is anyone able to tell me why I am seeing this message for this train in May? I was of the understanding that we don’t need to book seats for trains in Switzerland but am unsure what to do here. Does this mean this train is already booked out? Thanks for any help!!
