Can I just board the train with nothing more than my interrail pass?

If I take a 3 day pass, do I get 3 days + the 2 days for going in and out of my home country?

So, the problem i have is that i live in france, literally 4 km away from the German border, and I wanted to go to Spain. The thing is that i’ll probably need multiple trains to reach the border.Not only that but the only way to get to the part of spain i want to go, is reaching the station on the french border side, and then, take a railway that is not part of the interrail. Would that be possible?

Hi everyone, I am currently trying to book a train from London to Barcelona. When I view the tickets without logging into my account, it looks like there are seats available. However, when I log in, I get the following message: “Prices unavailableNo price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats—more info below our timetable. “ Are tickets truly sold out? Is there any way I can purchase online?

I heard in Germany, they have different class seats on separate carts. I am mainly travelling on 2nd class, and I am just worried, that I am going to hop on to the wrong cart. Is it easy to differentiate them, looking at the exteriors of the carts, where carts are painted differently, or do they follow some sort of sequence, where front carts are usually 1st class, and back carts are 2nd class?   

Is there limit to how many bags you can bring on board to the German trains? Is there extra fees for bringing luggage?  

Does anyone know if there’s luggage lockers at Rothenburg Ob Der Tauber Train Station? I am visiting Rothenburg from Wurzburg, and I am staying there for a day, then returning back to Wurzburg next day. The place I am staying doesn’t offer luggage storage, and I check in late, so I was thinking of leaving my luggage at the train station, but I just wanted to make sure that they have it before I proceed with it. If not I am thinking of leaving the non-essentials at the Wurzburg Train Station.      

Recommendation for traveling from Barcelona to Pisa ItalyWhat ticket should I buy for five days in Italy?

We are planning a trip with a German pass. We know that we can travel to Salzburg / Innsbruck / Verona on this pass, but what we’re not sure about is if we can stop at each city on the way and stay, then pick the DB train back up to carry on the journey, or if we need to return to Germany before doing the next part of the trip.  Ideally we would like to go from Munich to Salzburg, stay overnight, move on to Innsbruck, stay there overnight, then on to Verona staying overnight, before coming back to Germany. Is this possible?

Hi, me and my husband will start our trip from Gothenburg to Hamburg. Should we activate the whole trip as one journey? If we do, what happens if we miss a transfer? If we eg miss our activated journey from Copenhagen to Hamburg and have to take the next train? How do we activate a new journey when we already have one that we missed?How does it work? 

It’s my first time using eurail and i’ll be traveling from Paris Nord to Amsterdam Centraal, but everytime I do this it will say that my pass isn’t valid in some of these countries. Do I need to buy another ticket or another pass? or Do I need to update anything for the pass?

Please help  I have an issue finding trains in Slovenia. I have contacted the zendesk support but I wanted to ask this here too.I have been told that my app is not up to date. I am on 34.1.0 but am told there is a newer version with the timetables in Slovenia working.I have been to Google Play but I get this: I can't find a way to force my rail app to update itself.I had automatic updates turned on so I'm not sure what is going on.

I am a U.S. passport holder. My husband is a UK passport holder. We have lived in the U.S. for years. He has a green card. He is a U.S. resident. Can he qualify for a Eurail Pass because the U.S. is his home? He has no address in the UK.Thanks

Salve buonasera a gennaio abbiamo intenzione di fare questo viaggio partendo da Milano fino ad arrivare in Norvegia e ritorno abbiamo a disposizione 5 giorni qualcuno può aiutarmi a capire come funziona che tappe posso fare? 

Hi, newbie here, totally frustrated. I have a Rail Pass, have been booking multiple journeys, some with confirmed paid reservations, and attaching them to our rail passes. While reviewing it all, I only just noticed that we have a five minute transfer time in Brussels, going to Bruge. Hubby is 82, I’m not not sure he can manage that, with suitcase in tow. Is there a way to change just that last leg of a multi-leg journey without affecting/messing up the two legs that Ive already paid reservations for? If I leave it as is, and we miss that train, will it be difficult to catch the next one? 

Morning all, Complete UK newbie here and my wife and I have just planned and booked a 7 day trip round the Alps and back in a couple of weeks time.I’ve created the trip on my Interrail account on the App, and would like to copy/export (?) it to her account, rather than typing it all in again. Is that possible ?Thanks,Simon

Hi community! I hope you´re doing fine:)I´m Daniela and I´ve been planning to start my 1st interrail in Oct 6. I bought the 7 days pass within 1 month.I live in Portugal but I´ll fly to Barcelona to start my adventure.The route I was planning: Barcelona-Paris-Brusells-Rotterdam-Amsterdam-Cologne.Unfortunately I´m having a hard time trying to understand what´s the cheaper way to go from Barcelona to Paris, since the seat reservations are a bit expensive (in my honest opinion) and it´s not possible to book from interrail website (only physically in a Spanish station, right?)I already read some posts and blogs but the alternatives are also are a bit pricey.I was wondering if you could advise me or help me find the best option, because I´m trying to spare some money when I can to keep my trip affordable.Thanks in advance!!
