We need seat reservations for Budapest to Cluj Napoca in two weeks time. MAV Hungary website. Repeated attempts on MAV Hungary website that Interrail links to have failed. We arrive in Budapest 36 hours before so would like to have the reservations before we set out on our trip.  

Hi,  I have to travel tomorrow Unable to book seat for Frankfurt to Paris then Paris to BrestI am not able to the book the seat, is there any issue with the reservation system? 

We bought a One Country Pass for France. To reserve seats, you have to create a trip on the website and add travelers. But it doesn’t work because when you select One Country Pass, you can’t choose a country (dropdown says “No Options”). Without selecting a country, you can’t finish adding travelers. If you select “Global Pass,” you can add travelers, but seat reservation isn’t possible, error message: “At least one of the passes does not cover the trip.”

My family with 2 children will have an afternoon to spend in Lucerne (4 hours roughly) and an evening in Zürich (again, around 4 hours). In both cases we will be near the main station. Any suggestions for things to see or do please?

I am heading home from Bratislava to Karlsruhe. I am leaving early in the morning and i am planning to maybe do a short stop along the way to break the jouney a bit up Any recommendation on where to stop along the way?The journey takes arround 9 hours. So i am looking at a 3hour stop (maybe longer if there is a good reason for a slightly longer stop)I am planning on not doing Vienna or Munich despite those being the most obvious stops along the way as i stayed there a lot of times already (and i already had some short stops in Vienna on this trips)Any other recommendations?

I have a 4 day global interrail pass, We will travel from brussels to istanbul starting on 17/7/2026.I bought all 4 tickets for 4 night trains via the national train company websites (with indication I have global rail pass - so I bought at reduced price).Now I am adding the journeys in the rail planner app.I have 2 questions:Question 1: for the night train from bucharest to vienna on 8/8/2026 the start time as per my ticket is 15:00 , but I don’t find this train in the rail planner app - in rail planner app start time states 16:00.  So what should I do ?  Do I select the train of 16:00 in the app to add it to my rail pass or is there another option ? Question 2: for the night train from vienna to brussels leaving on 9/8 at 18:13 and arriving in brussels on 10/8 9:38there are two legs shown in the rail planner app :on 9/8  Wien -Aachen and Aachen to Bruxelles  - > I selected 9/8 as a travel day and selected this legon 10/8 Aachen - Brussels   → If I select this leg the app states :

As I understand it, seat reservations for the replacement bus is not possible. What about the supplement for the Brenner passage? Is it possible to buy them on the bus? We have just 10 minutes when we arrive at Innsbruck to catch the bus, according to the time table on öbb.

Good evening, During our stay in Crepy-en-Valois we would like to go for a day trip to Paris. We don't want to use a travel day of our Interrail pass for this short trip.However Crepy-en-Valois is on Transilien line K it seems not to be possible to travel between there and Paris on a Ticket Métro-Train-RER because Crepy-en-Valois is not in Île-de-France. Do you know if that is right? It looks like we can buy tickets via SNCF Connect but then we have to decide which train we take because the tickets sem to be train bound. Do you have suggestions where to buy more flexible tickets for line K for this route or do you have other suggestions?

Bonjour,C’est une première pour moi, et je suis un peux perplexe, j’ai effectué une réservation de Offenburg à Copenhague  - 2 trains donc deux réservations pour le 4 juillet, or en regardant aujourd’hui, le trajet de ma première réservation a été allongé d’une heure, ce qui fait que nous n’aurons pas la liaison pour laquelle j’ai fait la réservation (qui était obligatoire) et je dois refaire une nouvelle réservation  pour Hambourg Copenhague, cela vous est-il déjà arrivé et comment avez vous fait? 

I accidentally deleted my tickets.  Any chance of saving this trip?

Hey! Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of taking quite a few long train journeys. I love reading a book or e-book along the way, ideally something that inspires me, like stories about train travel or hobo literature. Do you have any ‘insider’ tips for an adventurous book about train travel for this coming summer? Thanks in advance! Martijn

My daughter and myself are planning a train travel journey around Europe from the start of January for one month. I would like to know:what is the weather is like at that time of the year  Is it easier to get around during this time of the year eg: due to snow or crowdsWe have only been to UK and France during the summer months but never been to Europe during this time of the year. A bit lost as to what we should do.  Thank you 

Hello everyone,I have used the Germann rail pass to go From Frankfurt to Brussels and back 2 weeks ago. Today, I wanted to use a travel day to go to Brussels again to visit family and I received the error that this country is not included in the pass, even though my the pass still shows my previous tracel days where Frankfurt-Brussels was possible.On the website, interrail still says Brussels is included in the German pass, so I am confused.

Good morning/afternoon everyone,I tried to book a journey on the Superfast ferry between Bari (Italy) and Igoumenitsa (Greece) using my 6-day pass for the Greek islands, but the same message appears every time: “The discount does not apply to the loyalty card. ”I have checked using both my Mobile Pass (6 digits including a letter in the middle) and a pass cover number generated via the Interrail website (with and without the first two letters). The Seaways website states: “Eurail/Interrail GREEK ISLANDS PASS and Eurail/Interrail GLOBAL PASS: Free reservations in ECONOMY CLASS for GREEK ISLANDS PASS holders and 30% discount reservations in ECONOMY CLASS for GLOBAL PASS holders.  Greek Islands Pass 30% in ECONOMY CLASS valid for extra trips. Fill in your Pass Cover Numberin the “Discount ID/Document” field. You can find your Pass Cover Number on the back of your Pass, above the QR code. If you are traveling with a mobile Pass, please fill in your 6-digit mobile Pass number, which you can

Hi there! I am in bit of a struggle and I would really appriciate your help. I now am in Vienna. I have to go to Cluj-Napoca Romania. There are no direct trains. And I cannot find anywhere, and internet site including interrail to make reservations for romania. They say I can go from vienna to budapest, then feom budapest to some city in romania like arad, then from there to cluj. But the problem is, yes i can make reservations for the trains departing from vienna and budapest but non for romania to romania and im freaking out. I dont want to pay full price tickets or buy a bus ticket while i have interrail. I also dont want to risk getting on a train that requires reservations and hoping to find an empty spot. Can you help me please :((

Am nevoie doar de 100-150 de euro pentru a rezerva locuri în trenuri și dacă am Interrail Global Pass, pot adăuga o altă persoană adultă, o persoană pensionară, mama mea.
