I want to make sure I understand how it all works.  I purchase the pass now (7 travel days), travelling in May 2026.  I can activate the pass now or later.  I must activate the pass to be able to reserve on trains.  I can reserve starting 90 days prior to train travel date, but not before. Do I have to do anything for my pass at any train stations or do I just show up and board my train?Appreciate your time!

Hi! We are trying to reserve seats in May from Prague to Munich and are seeing that resverving seats is optional however are being given this message additionally: “No 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.” Does this mean the train is sold out? We are quite confused. Is there another way we could still reserve seats or will we be okay without a reservation?

Hello. We have been using the EURAIL pass for the past month and have enjoyed the experience immensely. I have used this forum many times and have found the advice and feedback to be outstanding. The EURAIL community is exceptional. I now seek some advice regarding a day tour in Beaune. We will travel from Annecy to Paris via Beaune. We would like to experience a Chateau & tasting tour and hope that the community can offer some advice on a worthwhile experience. Thank you. 

Hello,I canceled my ticket about 3 weeks ago. Since then I have not received a refund although this should only take 2-3 business days. My booking number is IN31564017.Many thanks and best regards Bjarne

Good morning everyone!, and merry Christmas! I would like to know if I can cancel my seat reservation and my Pass, and naturally if I can have back my money again, because I don't do the trip anymore. I have the trip for 02.01.2026  Thank you and happy holidays! ♡

Helloo there! I am wondering if I can travel to two or multiple destinations in the same day during my local interrail pass in France?For example: marseille to nice and coming back (nice to marseille). If someone has an answer please hit me up.Regards,Ghaith

I have bought two passes for two separate tripsOne trip starts tomorrow and I have linked this to one pass and activated the pass. But the app sent me a notification saying I am starting a trip tomorrow and have no connected trips. I have checked and have linked the trip to the right pass. How to solve?

We will be travelling from Amsterdam to Vienna.Trip starts on 2nd of June at 19:44 in Amsterdam , we change trains at 23:30 in Cologne and on 3rd of Juna at 6:00 in Munich. We will arrive in Vienna on 3rd of June at 10:30.How many travelling days will that cost me? Just 1? Or 2, because we change trains in Munich on 3/6??

Hi, I'm so confusing...  I don't understand if I have to use my interrail pass ticket ( 7 trip in one months) or Is there  another pass to activate to come back in my country (Italy)?For example I finish my interrail at Genova, in Genova can I activate the pass to come back in Rome or not?Thank you I Hope someone answers me

When I see in the Eurail app, the reservation fee for seat booking shows less amount, but when I am redirected to pay the amount is much more. Why does this happen? 

Hi - I am not quite sure of the night train sleeping berths - I understand about the couchettes v the sleepers - but there are 3 of us travelling and would like to not share with others in the cabin.when I look at the OBB web site to look at booking through there, it only says that you can book a sleeper, but you may have people in it.  But then also says “book the whole compartment” but doesnt say how.When i Iook at booking through Eurail reservations it says 3 x IRT sleep.single(shower.comp) - but I cant  find any explanation of what that exactly is.  When I refer back to the OBB website, I am assuming that is 3 berths in a sleeper - but how do you book a private sleeper? Thank you for your advice.

Hallo, ich möchte am 16.04.26 von 1. Karlsruhe nach Strasbourg, 2. von Strasbourg nach Lyon  und 3.von Lyon weiter nach BarcelonaIch habe eine Interrail Ticket und brauche nur noch Reservierungen.. Ab wann kann man die Sitzplätze reservieren und am besten wo für welchen Abschnitt? DB zeigt beispielsweise an das die Reservierung erst ab 01.04 möglich ist ? Bei SNCF finde ich keine Möglichkeit zu hinterlegen dass ich nur Reservierung benötige? Danke Grüße Peter

If on my trip with ICE from Amsterdam to Luzern , we miss the connection in Olten to Luzern,  can we use the next train without any ussues?

There are no connections shown in the timetables of major train companys (Interrail railplanner, OBB, DB) from Verona to Gorizia Centrale in July. It only shows a connection trough Villach, which is not really logical (and veeery long). The logical route is in the timetables of June. Does anyone know if the timetable is still incomplete for coming summer? Of is something happing with railworks in July around Gorizia Centrale?

The first time trying to use our Eurail pass wouldn't accept our password. I pushed reset password and am still waiting after 2 days. What should I do.?I have emailed them twice to no avail.

4 Years Ago I booked a Eurail pass for 10 journeys and loved it!Now I am traveling to Europe again in summer of 2026. The destinations for which I would use the pass are:Madrid to Seville Seville to Barcelona Zurich to Interlaken (Switzerland) Interlaken to Bolzano (Italy) Bolzano to Venice Venice to Florence I considered doing the 5 day youth pass and then buying the cheapest one of these routes, but I did the math and it seems like it would be cheaper to buy all of the tickets directly from the national rail companies instead.  Am I missing something here? What is the advantage to Eurail? Is it worth paying extra just to have the convenience of hopping on any train? If the 5 day youth pass costs 287USD, then I would only save money on the 5 trips if the average cost from the national companies is above 57USD per fare. The Switzerland journeys may be the only ones that go above 57USD,

Hi ,I just bought few flexi global pass and i not plan my trip.May i know the last date tht this tocket need to be activated.

Good evening rail community I am planning to travel from Budapest to Bratislava on Sunday 19 October In the process I want to tick off another country visited so I thought it may be fun to make a very quick stopover in Bratislava The 08:12 to 10:44 trip from Budapest to Bratislava (Hlavna Stanica station) looks fine. Then will probably move on to Prague from Bratislava 12:26 to 16:39 (Regiojet) or the 13:58 to 18:18 (Metropolitan). What would you recommend between these two choices? Then I also need recommendations for the the short stayover.  Will probably want to keep onto my suitcase here.  Or is there left luggage storage available)? Also would you recommend reserving seats with  first class pass? Thanks!

I have planned most of my trip which starts at the end of June.  I have 3 days open to stay somewhere and was considering Pula, Rijeka or Umag Croatia.  I was wondering if it is possible to use a Eurail pass to go from Bled, Slovenia to either of those 3 destinations or if it is mostly by bus.  Also was wondering if there is any train service from either of those locations to Milan, Italy.  Thank you.

So, I programmed my travel to april 20 of 2023 and I couldn’t travel because the strike on Berlin, I programmer an other one on to 21 april, but the same thing. I already lost two days that I couldn’t use. What can I do?!
