Traveling in October for 14 days

We will be traveling 14 days while in Italy.  for 7 days we will be traveling the train from Cortona to Florence each day.  So we will need to have use of the pass for 14 days.  When I try to pick a pass it tells me 4 days in a month.  I want access to the trains for 12 days.  Can you still reserve seats and book train rides in advance with a Eurail Pass?Venice to Florence one dayFlorence to Cortona 8 daysCortona to Florence 8 daysCortona to Rome 3 days

Geneva to Milan on Eurail

Trying to book Geneva to Milan for 23/6 with Eurail pass directly with OBB, can see there are direct trains until 8/6 but none beyond this and haven’t been for some time. Have also tried domodossola.Will these be released at a later time?

Is the Eurostar in the UK

I have two days left on my interrail and have used bioth my inbound and outbound days to the UK.If I want to go to Paris, I understand that I have to get myself to St Pancras. But can I use my remaining day on the Eurostar. I know that I will pass UK border control before boarding the train, so technically the train is not in the UK, but what are the interrail rules? Is there a definitive answer?

Travelbuddies without interrailpass

Hi, I’m planning to take two night trains. First from Amsterdam to Vienna and then to Split. My travelbuddies don’t have an interrailpass. It is cheaper to just book the tickets for the nighttrains then taking an interrailpass. Is there any way that I can book the tickets with them or do I need to book separatly? Who can help me? 🤞

Bernina express seat reservations for child

 As a family of two adults traveling with a four-year-old child, I've already made reservations for the two adults through the Bernina Express website, utilizing the 'Eurail pass' reduction. Notably, I didn't reserve a seat for my child since the Bernina website clearly states that children under six travel for free. Now should I make seat reservation for adults and child from Eurail website ? or if using Eurail pass is it mandatory that child needs reservation ?

Educational and entertaining trip

Hi everybody, I’m new here and completely lost in tone of information. Any help would be appreciated. I’m planning a trip at the end of the March with my two teenagers. We are starting from Trieste and want to go to Basel and back to Trieste with as many interesting stops as it’s possible. Art & science & fun are our goals. I suppose we have 4-5 days. Any recommendations about the tickets/pass or the places to visit?

Advice on the best use of Euro Global Pass first Class in Italy and Switzerland

I have a Euro Rail Global Pass for my wife and I, both Australian Senior Citizen. Our planned Itinerary for Italy and Switzerland are starting on 31 May 2024:Castiglion Fiorentino (attending a wedding) to Naples (2 nights in Naples), From Naples to Florence (2 nights), Florence to Venice (2 nights), Venice to Milan (1 night). We will come back to Rome for 2 night stay to take our flight back to Australia on 17 June Travelling to Switzerland on 7 June travelling as per below trajectory: Milan to St. Moritz via Bernina Express (1 night), St. Moritz to Zermatt (2 nights) using Glacier Express, Zermatt to Interlaken (3 nights) using local/regional train. From Interland we will try to cover Jungfrau, Mount Pilatus, Mount Titlis and a day trip to Geneva using Golden Line.Given train travel in Italy is not that expensive and we do no really need first class travel we intend to amend our Euro Global Pass dates from 22 days to 10 days just to cover Switzerland. That will save me probably A$$800

2-person passes

Two people traveling together for the first time using Eurail Passes on each of their smart phones.Note: we are new to these passes.  Hence, this may be a “dumb” question, but here goes:Is it better to purchase a 2-person pass; or two, separate, 1-person passes?There is no cost difference.

Global Pass/ S-Bahn

Hi,I’m thinking of buying a 4 day Global pass:Day one I will travel from my local station to Birmingham New Street, then to London Euston, then to the Eurostar to Brussels then Change to Düsseldorf.Day Two and three I will just explore Germany using the ICE and regional trains. Then Day Four, I will take the exact same journey as I did on Day one back to the UK.Will travelling on the S-Bahn and RegionalBahn take away one of my travel days meaning I will have to buy a 5 Day pass or not?

Eurail App Reservation Fees

I'm flying in to Sofia and using up a 15 DayDay 1 Sofia to Bucharest no problems , then as I progress North it's asking for a Fee , if I choose no reservations my choices dwindle to nothing , I should surely be able to progress in  Eastern Europe just by hopping on and showing my Valid pass in the App, Bucharest to Clug comes in at 12 Euro , the app seems to be throttling me very slowly if I choose no reservations.Any body had previous experiences through Romania Hungary Slovakia with the Valid Pass on the App.Thanks in advance from Chris

from Budapest to Sofia :)

Hey everyone! I am studying two options to go to Sofia:1- with Interrail - they propose to go firstly to Craiova in Romania, and wait 2h (from 5 to 7am): is the train station for a single woman? Then take a train to Sofia. 2- taking a direct bus - it lasts one day but it costs 77€ with flix bus. But it doesn’t seem to be covered by Interrail what is the best solution? is the train by night from Budapest to Craiova comfortable and safe? As the train station?  thanks !!

Do you have to travel on the train which shows the correct departure time

Apologies if this question is silly.  I am learning about the Interrail system before I have my pass and so things may be obvious once I get it. I see people suggest not to put a train into your pass from your trip folder until just before you get on the train.   That is not the sort of person I am.  I don’t like to do things in a rush.When I set off on my journey I will be travelling from my local town to London and then on Eurostar.  There are several trains an hour from my local station:  let’s say 9:15, 9:30 9:45.    No reservations are required.    Suppose I put the 9:30 train onto my pass.   However I arrive early and can get on the 9:15.  Do I have to delete the 9:30 from my pass and replace it with the 9:15 or does this not matter?Peter

Does Eurail go everywhere Britpass goes?

My wife and I are planning to visit the UK from the US this June. We are starting in London then heading to Norwich - York - Stirling - Inverness - Bristol - and finally leaving from Paris. We’ll be spending several days at each town and will use them as hubs to explore nearby towns by rail. Will Eurail suffice or would a Britpass (with separate ticket to Paris) be a better option? The Eurail planner doesn’t seem to let me pick a few of those. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Help! Bought Rail Europe seat reservation & chose Eurail Global Pass 2nd class

HiWith the help of fellow Eurail community members, I was able to purchase seat reservation for May 11 CDG to Strasbourg. I couldn’t find Eurail France pass 2nd class, so I chose Eurail Global Pass 2nd class and bought 3 seat reservations.Help Rail Europe replied with the following: Please note that you have a single country pass, due to which you won't be able to book the seat reservation on our website, as we do not have the option to add a single country pass currently on our website.  Is it true that I can’t purchase seat reservation from Rail Europe with my Eurail France pass 2nd class?Does anyone know how refund works with Rail Europe? [I’ve since found the cancellation option inside the app and have requested that.]Please help!Thank you

Hello, I will be traveling from Florence to Zurich.  Then Zurich to Paris, and finally from Paris to Barcelona the week of May 4, 2024.  Can anyone tell me the best way to purchase tickets on Eurail?  Do I need a global pass?  It seems a bit expensive.
