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.  

Hello, I’m scheduling a trip by train with my kids from Madrid to Milan with different stops (Valencia, Barcelona, Girona, Montpellier, Frejus, Sanremo, and Milan). We should leave Madrid on the 20th of April and be back in Milan on the 2nd May. I have to arrive in Frejus on the 27th April to attend a wedding the day after. I would like to know if someone did a similar trip, or if you have any recommendations counsciuos of the fact that we won’t spend too much time in each city (Barcelona apart).Thanks,Cecilia

Hi, my friend and I are thinking of traveling around Europe from mid May until Mid July, the current plan is to stay in hostels and use workaway for accommodations. We'll be moving around every 3-4 days so I'm not entirely sure what our destinations are yet exactly. She has a dual citizenship in UK and Bulgaria, so we didn't think about it until now, but will it be fine to just go without and if not is there a blanket visa I can get because we're thinking to go to about 13-15 places and may use workday multiple times and i don't know what visa's I would need.Thanks.

Ciao a tutti.Ho acquistato un pass di 7 giorni di viaggio ma ho notato che per alcuni itinerari i treni sono già pieni nonostante la partenza è prevista tra quasi 3 mesi.La mia domanda è: come è possibile che debba pagare un ulteriore somma per un biglietto di quei itinerari previsti nonostante possegga il mio pass? I posti sono obbligatori da prenotare ma sono tutti pieni....mi vedo costretto a pagare così, in alternativa,  ancora altri biglietti costosi ma mi sembra poco giusto!! Pensavo che una volta acquistati il pass altre somme importanti non li avrei più uscite.

I would like to ask if I can travel from Greece to some Balkan countries using the 7 days pass and then fly for example from Croatia to Greece by airplane (considering paying my flight on my own)

Hi,I am ready to book my first set of reservations for my sister and myself.I want to book us on a train from Paris to Lucerne in August.  I did a search that said we should use Gare de Lyon in Paris.I went to buy the reservations but they only list Basel and they don’t mention Lucerne.Do the reservations just say the name of the first city and not the name of the second train when you change trains?Please help. I don’t want to buy these if I’m doing it wrong and find out my reservation doesn’t work for the second train.Should I book each leg of the trip separately?And, is okay to book all my reservations through the Eurail website here where I bought our Euraill passes.Here is the itinerary I am reserving.  Is the leg from Basil to Lucerne no reservation because none is needed? 12:22Paris Gare De Lyon (France)3h 4mTGV 9213TGV Duplex LyriaOperated bySNCF VoyagesDire

Hallo, ich brauche Hilfe: Ich hatte bereits eine Reservierung für die Fahrt am 19.04. von Zaragossa nach Sevilla um 08:55 Uhr bis 13:41Uhr gebucht und gekauft. Jetzt bekomme ich eine Mail von Renfe das der Zug 3872 nicht fährt. Ich finde für diesen Tag aber weder eine andere Verbindung nach Sevilla für mein Interrail-Ticket, noch wüsste ich wie ich die Reservierung umtauschen kann oder wie ich die mir zurückerstatten lassen kann? Gibt es hier wirklich keinen anderen Verbindung nach Sevilla und was mache ich dann ? Bitte um Hilfe Danke Peter

I am doing seat reservations for our journey from Livorno to Sapri. We would like to be seated on the Mediterranean side and facing forward. How do we figure that out ahead of time for our booking?

What happens if I don't make a reservation on a "reservations optional" train.  Will I be able to stay on the train if I can't find a seat?

Si un viaje comienza en un día natural y acaba en el siguiente, cuenta como un día de viaje o dos?Ejemplo: el viaje Estocolmo-Ámsterdam son 19 horas, de 6 de la mañana del día 1 a la 1 de la mañana del día 2, eso son 1 día de viaje o 2?

Hi everyone, I am interrailing through Europe after Christmas. Between January 2 and January 5 (4 days) I want to go somewhere in the area of Slovenia/northern Italy.(I am also fine with other places but I think this area would be really nice!). If anyone wants to join me or lives there and wants to show me around I would love that!

Hey,ich möchte am 01.03.2026 von Lyon Part-Dieu nach Barcelona Sants fahren. Im Rail Planner wird die Verbindung zwar als möglich angezeigt, bei der Buchung kann ich den Sitzplatz jedoch nicht reservieren, da Barcelona Sants nicht als Zielort auswählbar ist. Kann mir jemand dabei helfen oder weiß, woran das liegt? Vielen Dank!

I have booked SEAT RESERVATION on OBB bus from Venice to Wien .the car number is 404.I am Eurail global pass holder.I’m confused if I can take this bus free charge as global pass holder.I do not get any information regarding the bus stop in Venice.

Hi,I had used the Rail Planner app on my previous trip with no issues. I've changed phone (now running Android 14) and have successfully installed the Rail Planner, it starts fine asking what pass I have (Eurail/interrail/none), but whichever option I tick, when I then click on the yellow "Next" ("Suivant" in french) button at the bottom, I get presented with a page "Keep informed" ("Tenez-vous informé(e)" in french), and whichever combinations of notifications I select, strictly nothing happens when I click on the "Save" ("Enregistrer") button at the bottom.This means I can't actually get past this initial configuration, so have no access to the actual functionalities of the app, and hence can't use my mobile interrail pass I have just purchased.Many thanks for any help in getting the app into operation mode !Kind regards,Pascal

Is it possible for me to buy a train ticket for my son who has come to visit us in Italy. I still have more than five tickets remaining on my pass. 

Hello, I booked a 7-day pass with my friends. There are three trips between Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic for which I have my tickets shown in yellow on the app.For the trips in France, where a reservation is mandatory, I bought tickets and received them by email. However, in the app it asks me to check the outbound and return boxes for three journeys where I already purchased the mandatory seat reservation.What should I do? If I get checked by a ticket inspector, will it be a problem if those boxes are not checked? Thanks
