Planning beforehand or leaving it open?

Patrick Bayha

Hey peepz,

I recently bought my Ticket and i am not sure if i should fix my trip from the beginning on destinationswise or if i should leave it open?

Also i was wondering how the seat Reservation thingy works bc it says in the railplaner that for many trains it is required so I probably can't just jump in every train that I would like to take...? 

 

Its my first time with interrail and I am excited but also would love to hear sth from you to not be totally lost …

Thank you a lot in advance 🙏🏼

Best wishes, paddy

Depends from Country to Country 

 

Spain,France,Italy need Reservations for highspeed Services but in Italy and France you have often a reservation free (slower & more changes) Route with Fast and regionaltrains. 

 

In Germany Switzerland Austria Czech Republic reservations are not compulsory

 

and in Poland they are quite cheap just 1€ 

I´ am not working for Eurail or Interrail i just share my knowledge here. Please ask in the Community and not via private message as this is the fastest way to get an answer. I prefer English/German/ Czech for my answers. In case of Reservationquestions please share some details like Route, Date, Trainnumber as otherwise we can just provide general advices or answers

You don't have to fix anything in advance. Although if you want to use trains that require a reservation, it may be wise to book these in advance because such trains may get fully booked or (for TGVs to/from France) the Interrail quota can sell out.

Please ask questions in the community and not via a private message. That's the quickest way to get a response. I don't work for Eurail/Interrail.
