Our group of friends is going to travel europe during this summer. We have encountered a problem of comprehension of the way de system of travel days works. In our case we want to take an itinerary from Budapest to Split and we have to take multiple trains to get there. The case is that we had taken a 4 days pass, and we don’t understand if the fact that we are travelling at night and travelling in different trains is considered just one day of travel or if it is considered 2 days of travel. 

It’s important to specify that these trains transfers are not only during the night (before 00.00) but also after 00.00. 

Someone could please help us understand if it’s 1 travel  day or 2??

 

Thank you

At midnight a new travel day starts. If you then board another train, you need a new travel day:

However, there should normally be a direct night train in summer, but Hungarian railways are really late this year to announce it.

The Budapest-Split summer night train will be available soon on https://jegy.mav.hu/ (the trains already show but reservations have not been opened yet).

It runs 2 or 3 times per week, depending on the period. Add the discount "Interrail/Eurail/Pass” and do NOT check "I only need seat reservation”. I'd advise to book at least a couchette, available from €41. A seat is €19.
