Hey hey everyone! It is really nice to be here :) I’m currently looking into the Greek islands pass, and I wanted to know if there’s any page where I can find the ports for the ferry’s? It would be cool to have this handy to book the accommodation close to the ports. Also, tips about the best itinerary from Italy to the Greek islands would be much appreciated! Thank you so much, and nice travels! :)  

So with a lot of effort we made it to Athens, taking the bucharest sofia and a bus to thessaloniki route. Now we have enjoyed greece and want to slowly return home (Netherlands). I just don't see an effective/cheap/interrailly way of leaving here. Does anyone have some tips? Maybe an effective way of reaching croatia so we are back in railwayland?

Hi to all, I’m planning to go London from sofia via train but i didnt even travel once with neither interrail nor any other train. When i look into i saw that the route from sofia to london is a bit complicated one. So i need help from other experienced travelers. I only know that i need to go paris for london but i’m stranger to these things but wanna try. So my questions are on average how much it would cost to me, how many days it would take, is it reasonable to take train rather than plane, Which route i should take ? and what should beginners need to know about interrail and etc.

Is there someone currently in Montpellier who can help me find a cheap place to stay? My train got moved and everything I find is way to expensive.

Hello everybody A friend and I are leaving next week on our interrail trip in Europe. We would like to start with discovering the Greek islands, but when checking the timetables at the website of Interrail, there are no trains available to Athens. So we know the Hellas expres does not drive anymore so we are thinking to take a bus, but which bus connection do you recommend to get easy and on a budget to Athens?  ThanksssKato

Hi, I’m looking for hostel recommendations for 2 females!Somewhere clean, safe where we can meet people. But not super party vibes.  (Plus any recommendations of what to do in Vienna) Thanks :)

We are planning to travel Europe from Sept. thru Oct. Our itinerary isFrankfurt to GoslarGoslar to WernigerodeWernigerode to QuedlinburgQuedlinburg to BerlinBerlin - Prague - Rome - Frankfurt Looks like the Eurail pass is the way to go for the big cities. Is there a pass that works for the small cities too?i.e. Frankfurt - Goslar - Wernigerode - Quedlinburg - Belin Or do we just have to buy individual tickets for those trips? Thanks.

Hi all!I want to go on a regional train tomorrow from Modena to Parma as part of my Italy interrail trip.However, I only found 3 regional trains departing at 9, 10 and 11 AM. Checking the trenitalia website, I could see that there are many more trains that do not appear in the timetable.I know the possibility of adding them to the trip manually as I have already done it, but I want to make sure that doing so won't be a problem if an inspector checks my ticket (I say if because the inspectors don't always go by, specially in regional trains).If you have ever taken this solution, could you tell me your experience?Thanks in advance. Best,Pablo.

Hi,We are from South Africa. I hope to travel with my daughter from West (France-Paris)  to East (Turkey-Istanbul) starting 16 December.  We would love to experience Christmas in Europe, culture etc.  Does the Eurail cover countries such as Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria and Turkey?  We intend to start from Paris gong through Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Austria and Czech Republic.Kind regards, Alex 

Hello, I’ll be taking an Euro trip early April for about 4 weeks and I was wondering if there’s a map of all the available stops/stations? Also, where does the train starts and ends? Thanks in advance 

We are arriving by cruise into Barcelona Oct 4 2023, we need to get to Rome by the 6th or 7th. I am lost looking at schedules! I know we will probably need to spend the night somewhere. Can anyone help me with finding the best route? Thank you!

hi, we’re interrailing with my friend. Now in Budapest and thinking about going to Milano. Is there some good destinations or party cities between these two cities?

(train times are added at the bottom for those who don't want to read) Serbia is not impossible, it is awkward but if you are determined to go it's fairly cheap and easy once you are in. My experienceSo the trains are a mess here. Nothing is traveling internationally except the BAR train in Montenegro. Most likely you are coming from Sofia, Budapest or Sarajevo. You will want to get a bus into Novi sad, Belgrade or Nis from there the trains rún semi frequently but delays are common and you will crawl through the countryside. The Belgrade to Nis train travels at 30km per hour. The Novi sad line is not much better. No ticket vendor will help you, just don't bother asking anyone behind a desk. The locals are more friendly though. Buy a coffee and ask your questions there. Luckily the information is pretty easy to find and is reliable. If you leave yourself plenty of time you should be fine. Now i knew things were a mess before I left

Hi all,I am currently travelling in Lithuania. I know that the connections are not possible from Poland and yet took a bus to come. However, the application shows that it is possible to travel through the inner main cities - for example, Vilnius-Klaupedia, Vilnius-Šiauliai…Moreover I read on related topics that it was possible to travel in Lithuania with Interrail. And on the website, it is written that bookings are not compulsory.  However this morning, I took a train to Šiauliai and the controller validated my ticket, but she said I was missing the booking. Then I had to pay a bus to come back because they were no booking available anymore.  My question is, how do you normally travel with Interrail in Lithuania, without the booking fees ? At the station, I was told that the booking was not for free. But in the app, it is not written that a booking is mandatory and as I wrote, it is even mentionned that it us not compulsory.  

I want to do a one day trip from Paris to Mont Saint Michel. Please advise what route should I take on a train and which train to take . What is the best day to visit on Mont saint Michel. 

Hello :)In about a month I’m going inter railing and I’m currently trying to figure out my route, but I’m kinda stuck at athens. I’m not sure where to find any information on greek public transportation, as it’s not on the eurail app. I’m trying to find the best way to go from athens to Italy, if anyone has any possible routes it would be highly appreciated!! Or anywhere to get more information on greek public transport. Btw I have a global pass :)

Can’t find any train from Sofia or any other destinations to Athens. Aren’t there any international trains to Athens? 

Hi, I’m youenn, I’m 19 and I come from France. I just arrived in Prague and I stay 4 days. I’m traveling alone for the month and It would be cool If I can meet others travelers during my stage there ! See you !youenn

I already payed 500€ and now I’m paying the supplement for all the bus..it’s not fear !!!thank you

Leuke interrailers!Dit bericht is in het Nederlands, maar reageer gerust in het Engels.Mijn vriend en ik zijn bezig met het plannen van onze interrailreis en zouden graag het Tatra-gebergte in Slowakije willen bezoeken vanuit het plaatsje Starý Smokovec. Nu zijn we daarvoor in Krakau. Het probleem is dat de treinplanners ons via een grote omweg sturen (Via Katowice naar Tsjechië) om vervolgens Slowakije in te komen. Ik denk dat de grens tussen Polen en Slowakije dicht is? Weet iemand of deze grenzen binnenkort weer opengaan en/of er weer treinen gaan rijden tussen Polen en Slowakije. Eigenlijk tussen Krakau en Poprad/Starý Smokovec?Groetjes!
