Hi, I’m considering the Interrail Global Pass (5 days) and trying to figure out if it suits my needs. I’m planning to travel with my dog from Gothenburg to Milan in 2 days, and then return to Gothenburg in 3 days. For now, let’s focus on the outbound journey:

Day 1: Gothenburg - Copenhagen and Copenhagen - Hamburg
Day 2: Hamburg - Zurich and Zurich - Milan

After purchasing the Global Pass, are the only additional costs the seat reservations and the dog ticket where required, or should I expect extra fees? I’ve already ruled out night trains for this reason.

Additionally, do I need to book all tickets through the app? I noticed that some operators, like SJ, allow adding the Interrail Pass on their website as a 100% discount card, while others, like DB or DSB, don’t include Interrail as an option when purchasing the ticket. Thank you!

You can see all the reservation costs here, just click the country of departure for each train.

You don’t need to buy reservations through Eurail (website, they don’t sell them in the app). It’s usually cheaper to buy elsewhere. Details in that same link above.

Quickly checking, you won’t need reservations on the Öresund trains from Gothenburg to Copenhagen.

If you’re travelling during summer, you need reservations for cross-border trains into and out of Germany, costing a few EUR.

And you need to pay a supplement on the Eurocity from Switzerland - Italy, but you can get around this by taking regional trains.
