We have global 1st class passes.Will travel Naples-Florence April 8th. Appreciate advice ( cost and duration aside) on pleasantness or other notable advantages of choosing either:Intercity 590 Train to Florence Rifredi ( slower  approx 3 hrs but cheaper seat resevations)VsFrecciarissa 9532 Train to Florence SMN ( quicker approx 5 hrs but dearer seat reservations)  We are aware there is an option to avoid seat reservations altogether but it's a bit too slow approx 7 hrs but are happy to pay to keep the duration down.Thanks in advance from anyone familiar with these trains/ options. Cheers 

I’ve read a few older posts about this but thought I would get an updated view from those in the know. I wish to travel from Budapest to Istanbul but there is not route found for this trip.However, I can travel from Budapest to Sofia and then Sofia to Istanbul with changes which I am happy to do if that’s the only way.I believe there might be sleepers between Budapest and Istanbul when I travel (it would be about 7th June), but cannot find much information about them. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction, please?Many thanks. 

Hi thereHow do I find out how long it will take to get from Santorini to Rome?

Hello guys, I am currently on my interrail trip in Italy and planning to go to Greece, but we all know of the terrible train accident that happened there a couple of days ago, and the railway strikes that followed afterwards. Now I'm doubting if it's smart to go to Greece at all. I can't find much about it on Internet. Is it sensible to go there with Interrail? What are the chances of a new strike (or even a new accident?)? Is it even possible to travel from Athens to the north again by train?  Thanks in advance! 

Hi we are looking to travel from Venice to Milan in June 12 2023, and Milan to Nice in June 15 2023.But looking at the timetables there’s no train that is less than 13/14 hours, im looking for trains that take less than 5 hours.Has the timetable been update for summer yet??Many thanks in advance.

Hello,I search for my trip for a route between Spain and Portugal (I want to travel from Algeciras to Lisbon)But after the 29.4. he shows me no trains between Spain and Portugal. The weird thing is, he shows me trains in Portugal and Spain after the 29.4. but no Trains between these Countries.Is this a error or is the data not yet available?

Hello,for our trip in April/May I tried to book the bus Talinn - Riga and Riga - Vilnius (since trains are not the most efficient way of travelling). On the partner deal page of Interrail it said  a discount of 20% is applicable + a code is given. When this code didn’t give the result, I emailed to Lux.  I got this answer: Hello!I would like to inform you that our company does not cooperate with Interrail, so unfortunately this discount is not available.Best regards,MartaLux Express Good to know for everyone. 

Over a period of 10 days, my siblings and I are planning to travel this route in May/June:London → Glasgow → Edinburgh → London → Paris → Belgium → Amsterdam → Paris → LondonThe Eurail site automatically input dates for each trip (see below), but can we use the pass on any day within the month? I’m told Eurail does not operate in France.  I assume we can use the Pass on another trainline within France in order to travel to other countries.  Am I correct? 

I have an interail pass and am trying to book a couchette on this route in April. It features in seat61 & europe by rail, but all the booking sites send me via Nurenburg or return no Nightjet. Is it operating in April? Daily?Thanks

Hi, I want to visit some different places in Italy. Only i can find a few train stops via the routeplanner. For example, i want to go to Lucca and Assisi but the routeplanner won't give those citys as an option. How can I travel to those places, if the interrail planner won't let me add those to the route? Edit: I want to use the global pass with unlimited days to use the train

Is it safe to travel Vienna, Budapest and Prague as a solo female traveller in general and with the current situation with Ukraine war as I know they’re quite close.   

I am travelling from Marseille to denmark soon!Where to stop on the way??? (have a 4-day pass)Hit me with ideas and great countries to visit, please :-) 

I am travelling from Australia in mid April with my 11 year old autistic son. We are travelling for 16 weeks through 11 countries starting in France. We wish to do a number of train journeys within each country not really big cities. We are visiting France, Spain, Morocco, portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, UK and Malta in that order.I have used the Traineline App and costed out just the main country journeys which exceeds theGlobal Pass however I'm struggling to work out the reservation cost associated with each eurail pass to see which is the best option. Our country dates are fixed but we have flexibility within each country so want to know if we can also use a Global pass to travel from say Porto to Lisbon as an example.Sorry for long question but the challenges are great for this journey.Thank you

Hello:)I’m planning a trip for August/ September and U found on the interrail webside the ferry from Bari to Patras. On the app tho there is no sign of this connection? So how can I find and or book it?Thank you in advance:)

Hola!Soy novata aquí. Tenemos mucha ilusión de hacer este viaje con nuestra hija este verano. Tenemos entre 10-15 días disponibles. Hemos pensado un Global Pass de 7 días. Os adjunto nuestra planificación:Salimos desde Valencia 30 o 31 Julio. Llegada a Paris. Primer problema: no encontramos trenes vía Barcelona. Ir vía Madrid supone más horas de viaje, no tiene sentido. Queremos llegar a Paris a media tarde. Podríamos ir a Barcelona el día 30/07 y salir el lunes 31/07 Barcelona 10:33h  – Paris 17:18h. La reserva de asientos entiendo que debo hacerla a través de TGV. 4 noches en Paris.El billete Valencia Barcelona estaría dentro del Pass, o tengo que comprarlo aparte? Estaremos 4 noches en Paris.Siguiente parada del viaje, salida el Viernes 4 agosto. París - ESTRASBURGO. De 10:05h a 12:41h. Estaremos 1 noche.Al día siguiente, sábado 5 agosto, continuamos aventura: Estrasburgo-Lucerna. De 11:51h a 15:05h. Una noche, es sin reserva, con añadir el viaj

The Interrail train map shows Santiago de Compostela as on the network but the app does not show any trains no matter which start/finish station I choose!  I have a Continuous Global Pass, can I just use it to jump on a train?

Hi, I’m planning to book Budapest - Rijeka overnight for this summer. On the ‘night trains’ part of the interrail website this is available, as the Istria express.  However, using the app I cannot find any journeys with less than 3 changes. I also can’t find another website to book through, and even if I could, I wouldn’t know how to add the pass as a discount.  Please can someone help? This is to book a night train. 

Buen día!!! Mi esposa y yo planeamos viajar a España en sep y oct! Conviene comprar el pase global desde ahora o no hace falta anticipaese tanto? Subirán precios? Con qué anticipación es mejor? Gracias?!! 

¿Por qué el pase global de 10 días en 2 meses anuncia costo de 368 y al colocarlo en canasta se eleva a 463 dólares?

Hola, buen día! Mi esposa y yo deseamos realizar un viaje por Europa  en sep. y oct. con los siguientes recorridos: Madrid a Santander (1), Santander a Burdeos (2), Burdeos  a París (3), Bruselas a Amsterdam (4), Amsterdam a Bruselas (5), Munich a Venecia (6), Venecia a Milán (7), Milán  Florencia (8), Florencia a Roma (9) Barcelona a Madrid (10)... Mi pregunta es, ¿todos estos viajes los podemos realizar con un global pass de 10 días en 2 meses, o alguno de los recorridos no entran en ese paquete? ¡Saludos y gracias por su próxima respuesta!

Hello, i’m agustina. First time travelling alone around europe. I got a train ticket from Belgium midi to París montparnesse. But it says i’m gonna get to another parisian train station, and then to montparnesse. It also requires a seat reservation.now i have 2 questions.Can i pay the reservation of the seat in the train station? To who? And what do i do when i get to the first parisien train station? 

When will timetables be updated to show ALL ICE train services between Frankfurt and Amsterdam for travel on the 10 August 2023 especially ICE128 Also why doesn’t the app recognise St Moritz as a station when the website does

I see on Eurail timetable that there is an overnight train from Basel SBB to Amsterdam it departs at 23:13 and arrives in Amsterdam at 09:58.  My questions are:Is there a sleeper on this train? I looked on Cheap Train Tickets | Timetables for Germany & Europe - Deutsche Bahn website and I see an icon that shows a sleeper, but I want to confirm that it is the case. Also how do I book the sleeper using Eurail global pass? When I go to the above website it does not give me the option to choose Eurail Global pass or a sleeper, furthermore when I try to book it, I get an error stating:We are sorry, but we cannot sell your requested journey online.Please find further information in our contact details.Alternatively, we are happy to offer you

Hey,I'm currently planning an interrail trip in Scandinavia in March and I'd really like to go doing some hiking in Norway. Is there someone experienced with hiking in Norway, especially during winter-season (March). It would be perfect if the hiking spots could be reached by public transport and if a hostel would be near them.  Thanks y'all for your help in advance! :)Lasse 

I am travelling from Milan to Naples and need to arrive at Naples airport by 11am therefore I am going to stop en route for 1 night. Where would be a good place to stop where it is relatively easy to get from train station to main part of town/city. Would like a picturesque stop so that I can spend the afternoon/evening soaking up the atmosphere so it is not a wasted stop.
