Eurail & Interrail Passes

Is the interrail pass valid on the narrow rail track that runs from Bilbao to Ferrol via Santander and Oviedo?

To enter the lottery for the Interrailpass: My favorite route was from Vienna to Sicilly :). 

My dream Interrail route? Crossing the breathtaking Swiss Alps on a panoramic train and waking up to the golden light of Tuscany! 🏔️🇮🇹 I’m obsessed with the idea of wandering through the snowy peaks of Zermatt one day and enjoying a gelato by the canals of Venice the next. It’s the perfect blend of adventure and 'la dolce vita'! 🚆✨

The best slow travel train journey, in my opinion, is the Glacier Express which operates in Switzerland. Interestingly, it’s one of the slowest trains in the world and that’s exactly what makes it special for me. Instead of rushing to get somewhere we can actually concentrate on enjoying the view, including the mountains, the valleys, and all those beautiful small villages.The slow travel is actually appealing for a lot more people due to the constant seek for new experiences. I’m certainly one of them, this kind of travel is indeed very appealing, since it’s not just about getting somewhere, it’s about the actual journey, which becomes the main purpose of the trip. I can just relax, enjoy the breathtaking views, listen to music, and forget about the rest of the world.Nowadays, people don’t have much time to just stop and try the “dolce far niente”, we are always in a hurry, so maybe The Glacier Express could be that for me, it’s definitely on my wishlist! 

I would love to travel to Sweden or Norway by train; the scenery along the way must be magnificent. I've been dreaming of this trip for several years.

J’ai eu la chance de voyager en train en itinérance en Allemagne mais j’aimerais avoir l’avis sur votre meilleur expérience d’itinéraire en train ! merci d’avance

I was planning on going with a few friends during august 2026 and i got to activate my pass with the validity period being that month. Some things came up and we ended up deciding that a later date would be betted. Can i change the validity dates of my pass, since the period has not started yet?

2 nights in We are doing 2 nights in only 3 cities, 1 in the rest, bar Amsterdam. As you can see in the top left it says 10 travel days yet im not sure if it adds up to this? Can anyone help or reccomend, ta.

Hidoes anyone know how you can view the train stations without activating the pass? 

I am loading my train possibilities from Stockholm Ctrl to Oslo S.  I'm looking to go Sept 17, 2026.  I understand I need the SJ website and have found all that,  but how can I load this into my rail planner.  I have other trains schedules uploaded for other parts of my trip, but SJ won't upload and I can't seem to add it manually in rail planner.  What an I doing wrong.   I'm just trying to get all my train options in my rail planner and will toggle when I'm ready to use the one I need.

Do larger train stations, in particular Santiago de Compostela have  Eurail help desks or counters?Especially the very first day of my Pass travels.I am terrified I won't be able to activate my pass and/or toggle my journeys to the day pass.

Hello! Bought a paper pass for reduced price already in the winter, planned to travel in spring. Now plans changed, planning to travel in the autumn.But, the site says i have to BUY a new pass, wait for refundng of the original passa + pay 25 euros for the exchange.SO, if I do not get the new pass for the same reduced price, why would I exchange it and pay the extra 25 euros? And why do I have to buy the pass and get the refund later, can you not transfer the money/price of the original pass for the purchase of a new one? 

We are a couple planning Interrail travel to France, Italy and Switzerland next month, and need to put our passes on our phone(s). Wondering about the advantages/disadvantages of putting both passes on one phone or on two separate phones. We will always travel together. With both on one phone we can duplicate our trip details; if they are on separate phones can we duplicate or will we have to enter all the journeys separately for each pass? The snag I can see of both on one phone is using it at automatic platform gates, one of us will have to pass the phone back to the second person. what are people’s experiences and thoughts, please?

Hi,I bought erasmus pass for 4 travel days in the next 6 months.I already booked the trip for this Sunday, but would like to refund it now. When I refund it, do I get the travel day back, or I lose that travel day? 

Hi,I’m preparing my 1st Eurail trip and I have a doubt about the correct way to proceed.I will go from France to Norway. I take the train until  Hirtshals (Denmark), then a boat from Hirtshals to Norway. I will then travel again by train in Myrdal (Norway) 5 days later. Into the Eurail scheduler I have created a step from Hirshals to Myrdal in order to have my complete travel in 1 Eurail trip, but I’m wondering whether this step will consume 1 travel day on my pass ? Please note that the boat has been already separately booked.

Hi guys, I won an interrail ticked from die EU! When I won it I signed up with my passport ID of course. However I had to get a new passport due to the fact that it lost its validity. Well, I still have my old passport with this old passport ID (but of course its not valid any longer). Do you guys think that everything will be fine if I just bring my old passport as well just to be sure that I can prove that the interrail pass is actually mine?Thank you for your help in advance Marie :)

My friend and I are both fairly new travelers and were told by a friend that Eurail would be a good option for us to travel in Europe this summer. We were able to book trains that don’t require seat reservations, but when we tried to book seats on the trains that do require reservations, we weren’t able to. On the eurail website, we got a message saying we need seat reservations to board but there wasn’t actually a way to make seat reservations. When we tried on a separate website affiliated with the trainline, we were unable to book seat reservations using the eurail global pass discount. Has anybody had this issue before or know how we can book our seats?

I recently purchased a Global Plus Pass, which includes seat reservations. However, after making several seat reservations throughout my pass period, an error message started appearing when I tried to complete the "purchase," stating that Eurail needed to review my pass before making new seat reservations.I've been trying to resolve this issue with support for 5 days without success (they say they are looking for a solution). Does this mean I'm unable to use a product I paid for? They say it's for safety reasons, but no one from support has clarified what those reasons are... I feel cheated.Has anyone else experienced this? The days are passing and the seat availability is running out, and I'm unable to schedule my return trip to the airport to go home. 

Hi, I recently finished a round trip through southern England and was really looking forward to seeing my statistics. Unfortunately, they still show outstanding kilometres and trains because I’d saved a few alternative connections that I didn’t end up using. Now I can’t delete them, so the journey seems somehow incomplete. Do I just have to live with it, or is there a way to wrap things up properly? I’d also like to take this opportunity to say thank you for all the helpful tips in the forum, which made the trip a smooth and unforgettable experience 🙂 

Hello,Can I use public transportation in Amsterdam with Eurail Pass?

Hello!Does anybody know whether it is possible to buy a paper Interrail pass at the RENFE ticket office in Barcelona?I'm not talking about reservations but I'm actually looking to buy my paper Interrail pass there if possible. Thank you!!

Hi everyone,My name is Yessica. I will be traveling from Belgium to Madrid by train.I would like to make my reservations before my trip because I prefer to have everything well organized, especially since I will be traveling alone (it’s my first time traveling alone 😊).For this reason, I would like to buy the Eurail Pass now and make reservations for the trains where it is required. However, I only want to activate the pass on the day of my first trip.My question is: if I make reservations in advance, will the pass be activated automatically before my actual travel date?Since these are high-demand travel dates, I want to make sure I won’t have any issues finding seats.Is it possible to make reservations and pay for them in advance without activating the pass?Thank you very much for your help!
