Question re travel in Germany and Czechia

Hi my  partner and I (both in our 60s) are wanting to travel to Prague via Germany in September. We will be getting onto the rail network from Eurostar as we are coming from the uk. We fancy stopping over for a couple of nights in 4 German cities and 3 nights in Prague. I'm thinking that some kind of European flexible travel passes would be more economical..We are not great at purchasing online. Can anyone suggest any help available and best deals, whilst remaining as flexible as possible.Thanks Carolyn

Advice needed for soon-to-be new Eurail traveler

My husband and I are trying to plan a big anniversary trip in July 2024 to Europe. We will also have our youngest child with us (9 yrs old at time of travel). We are planning to spend between 21-30 days there using Eurail as our primary source of transportation. Our anticipated destinations include Dublin, London, Paris, Versailles, Venice, Rome, Portofino, Barcelona, and Madrid. We mostly want to experience ancient architecture, landscapes, culture, and cuisine, but will also concede to popular tourists attractions. We have a rough agenda, but hope to have more of a laissez faire sort of vibe for flexibility.Is Eurail user friendly? Child friendly? How easy are seat reservations to make? Must they be made very far in advance? Is the first class ticket worth the extra $$? What roadblocks or challenges do seasoned Eurail travelers see for us? Are there any must-do child/family activities at either of these locations? Is our timeline realistic? What advice would you have for first-time-t

Greek Islands pass

Hi.We would like to travel soon (1 week+) with the Greek Islands Interrail pass.Unfortunately the 6 days pass only exists in paper option and won’t be mailed on time for departure.Do you know how easy it is to get it directly from a train station in France/ Italy the day of departure, and if we can book the international ferry crossing with Anek without actually having the paper pass yet ?Thank you in advance for your quick response.Stanislas

Purchasing a Pass

I am ready to purchase an Eurail pass and would like to verify if the phone number I enter at the time of purchase matters. I currently have a Canadian phone #, however will be getting an European phone # once I get to Europe. Will I be able to activate the Eurail pass with the European phone # when I get there, or will I have to use my Canadian phone #, which I will use at time of purchase? Thanks in advance!

Travel days

Hi guys! I’m planning to start my route in Rijeka and first travel to Amsterdam which is 23 hours long. I’m wondering does it use more than one travel day off my ticket to travel there? I have to take 3-4 different trains during those 23 hours to get there?

Eurail or Interrail? Resident of Europe but USA passport

Hello! I have a US passport but a German residence permit. I would prefer to buy a Eurail ticket over an Interrail ticket, but the terms and conditions have been unclear if that’s allowed, as I am a non-European citizen but a European resident. Could someone clarify the rules for me? Thanks!

Country of residence not same as passport

Hi there. We are Swedish citizens and live in Germany. When we bought our passes I put in Germany as country of residence. Our trip starts in Berlin, then down to France and we’re supposed to end in Sweden (traveling through Germany). Is this possible?

Problem with the prenotation

When we were booking our interrail we accidentally included 8 days of travel instead of 7. So now we wanted to buy the trains of one of these day, to make it 7 for the pass. But how can I buy a train ticket where I have already booked the seat?

Single country pass

If we are traveling from Annecy to Montreaux in Switzerland, can we simply purchase a one country pass?  Or does it need to be global?Also does having a Swiss Travel Pass as well change anything?

Travel in country of origin

Hello, I think this is fine, but I want to check before purchasing a 5 day global pass for my boyfriend, who is a resident in Germany. Fly from Germany to Switzerland and use day 1,2&3 for travel within Switzerland and Italy. Fly to Germany use day 4 (outbound journey) to travel within Germany and use day 5 (inbound journey) to travel within Germany. I know the rules state you can use your inbound/outbound travel days at any point within the validity period. I am just scared that when we go to do it in the app it won't work!

What is the exact definition of "travelling within the country of residence" ?

About travelling within the country of residence ?Does it include any journey starting from a city in your country of residence, whatever the destination (e.g. Liège-Koln) ? Or do you specifically refer to journeys within the country of residence, i.e. from one city in the country of residence to another city in the country of residence (e.g. Namur-Liège) ?Concretely, I live in Belgium and would like to know if I could use my remaining travel days to go from Brussels to Paris (directly) after coming back from a trip Brussels-Berlin (for which I will use my outbound/inbound days) ?Mike

Interail Greek Island pass possible routes

Hi everyone,I was interested with my friend to buy a 4 day ticket for the Greek Island to travel in Cyclades in this way:1- Mykonos to Ios2-Ios to Milos3- Milos to Santorinibut consulting both ferry companies included in the pass it seems impossible to reach Ios from Mykonos and Santorini from Milos.Are some islands not included? We would like to understand if we didn’t find the right information or actually these routes are impossible to do. Thank you so much

When to activate the global pass?

We will arrive London in the evening on coming Thursday, 20 July. We have 4 global passes and will use them in London, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam. It’s our first time to use a mobile pass. We would like to know:Shall we activate the pass now? Or shall we activate the pass on the first day to take the train which is 20 July ? After activated the pass, is there a QR Code generated automatically for each journey added in the apps? What about a manually added trip? Can I share the journeys saved in my apps with other pass holders in the same trip? Once a ticket is issued (with QR code), can we change or cancell the journey? For trains that need reservation, we have already got pdf ticket, do we still need the QR code in the app ?

Looking for a travelbuddy in August/September

Hi, I’m looking for a few people to travel with(ideally one or two). Im from Munich Germany and will probably start from there. The idea behind the trip is to go see spain and portugal and end the trip by learning how to surf in portugal for about two weeks. Of course it would be completely fine for me if you want to part ways along the journey. A rough sketch of my route would be something along the lines of Munich → Marseille → Barcellona → Madrid → Lissabon → location of the surfing class → Back home. I have 7 travel days available so I might stop by another city or cool place on my way back home (for 1 or 2 days). As you can see I’m quite early into my planning so nothing is set in stone and I’m still quite flexible. Feel free to contact me on Instagram @zmajacquNice travels, Jacques
