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!!

UK Access to platform / gates

Hello community, We currently are planning to travel to the UK in summer. When going by train on regular tickets over there I remember there are machines for the access to the platforms. The regular ticket usually has got to be put into a slot and the turnstile would open so one can get to the platform. How does that work with the EURAIL Global Pass? Thanks Frank

let me introduce myself…🫶

Hi all, my name is Wendy. We’re going on a interrail trip this summer in august. We are with 3. My husband, me and our 9 year old son. We live in The Netherlands. Interrailling reminds me of the time when I was young and did a lot of backpacking trips to South America, Asia and Europe. Now I got the same vibe. I’m looking forward to get some tips in this community about traintraveling. for now I wish everybody save travels and lots of fun!!

not clear

Hello,I'm trying to organise a tour of France (with a possible trip to Barcelona) in March from Berlin (where I live). There are many things I don't understand.1) If I only want to go to France from Berlin, can I take a "One Country Pass"?2) Does my trip to the first destination in France count as a travel day?3) If I want to do a day trip from one place, e.g. go to Bordeaux from Paris for the day, can I plan a return trip?4) Some destinations do not exist on the tripplanner-map (e.g. Brest in Brittany), does this mean that it is not possible to book a ticket for this destination?Thank you for your help!

I am new to this game and I don’t even know what tags are. I have bought a five day pass and I want to travel to Brindisi in Italy in February I would like to take two days in daylight to see the scenery and one week later the same coming back. I hope to travel from Swansea in South Wales. Is this possible. I am on the verge of starting to get old 80 but I am determined to make it. I think it will be easier for me to book the individual trains at the stations. Does anyone think this is possible.? You have my kind regards, David shaw.

End of line in Germany - kicked off at Koln Hbf

Hello, Our journey in the app and on our pass was from Amsterdam Centraal to Mainz Hbf. Our first train showed it taking us to Frankfurt where we'd have to transfer for the last leg of our journey. However, we got to Koln Hbf and were told it was the end of the line. There was a group behind us that were also under the impression that we could stay on. They asked the worker and he said we have to get off, we have to listen to the announcements, and yelled at all of us for missing the 3 announcements telling us to get off. He said to go to platform 10. We rushed over there but there was no departing train that matched anything in our app. We looked for trains heading to Frankfurt or Mainz and there was only one and it was not on platform 10. It had already departed by the time we found it. We looked at 3 different information boards and a separate app for train travel and we could not find the original information we had in the rail planner. We ended up getting tickets to a train an hou
