If i buy the 6-days interrail pass for greek islands, do i need to use 2 days on italy and 4 on greece, or can i just use all 6 of them hopping in different greek islands? Im wondering bc the ticket info says ”2 international days and 4 domestic days”

I have booked paris to zurich via the eurail website ,  and i can see the details of the reservation in the eurail app as well. However email from eurail says the eticket needs to printed out and shown at the time of travel. Can't I use the QR code in the eticket on my phone ? Do I need to anything additional on the eurail app  like saving journey and adding ticket manually before boarding the train, checking as I can see comments like that in the forum however was not clear.Also the email said that we need to show the eurail pass to the conductor ,  what do they check the email/order details from eurail when the pass bought which got pass details ?any help this will be much appreciated.

Hello,  I cannot add my mobile pass to the app.. As my name is with an “ï”, I strongly think the app doesn’t recognize this letter. I need to take a train in 2 days. What should I do? 

Bonjour,Je cherche un trajet en train ou bus de Narvik à Trondheim pour février 2026 mais l'appli ne propose rien. Quelqu'un a t il un bon plan ?

Hi there I’d like to catch the airport train from Warszawa Lotnisko Chopina to Warsaw Central. The train is run by Kolege Mazowieckie, which is listed on the Eurail website as one of the trains on which you can use your Global Pass, however when I search for this train journey it says “pass not valid”. Can someone please assist here?ThanksPrue

Hi there,We’re planning to use a global 7 day pass this summer to travel from the United Kingdom to mainland Europe. Our trip is as follows:Day 1: Lancaster UK to London (overnight in London)Day 2: London to AmsterdamDays 3 - 7: Travel in EuropeDay 8: Paris to London to Lancaster UK.I want to know:Whether the Lancaster to London outbound trip is covered by the global pass, or not, because the whole trip from Lancaster to Amsterdam is split over 2 days? Whether the Paris to Lancaster trip is covered by the global pass, because it takes place in a single day? 3. If I buy the pass now and activate it so I can plan the trip and book seat reservations, how long is it valid for? I.e. will it still be valid in July when we actually travel?Thanks so much!

Hi, I am going on a trip with 3 other friends this summer. We have all bought the Eurail pass and am starting to book some night trains ahead of time. One concern I have is ensuring that we are all in the same cabin when booking couchettes. I have added my friends to my trip, but that just makes me have to pay for their tickets as well when booking. Is there any way to have my friends pay for their own tickets but still ensure that we will all be together on the overnight trip? Thanks!

Hi there, the last time I spent a long duration in Europe was over 25 years ago, and at that time I carried cash with me and credit cards. These days, I’m mostly cashless, but I would like to have some local currency with me on this trip – all countries will either take the British pound or the euro. I’ll primarily be using my credit card – I hope - on this trip as that is the easiest from my perspective. But does anybody have any recommendation on how much cash per day I should have just for incidentals? Assuming England, France, Italy, Croatia, and Greece will except a credit card, and I won’t need much cash on hand? Thank you in advance for any help

lost my in box! How can I recover my pass order confirmation? 

This is our 2nd day of travel on eurail pass. We were able to turn on pass and have an eticket in our app but when we try to add seat reservations (seat reservations are not required), it says train is full. Can we still take this train? Last time we struggled finding seats that didn’t have reservations on it.

Hi, I’m new to the Eurorail pass (not new to traveling, just have never gotten a Eurorail pass before) and plan on going to France, Switzerland and Italy in December 2025 (with a day trip to London and a day trip to Strasbourg some of the days).  I’m assuming it’s probably better to get a Eurorail pass for this trip, instead of buying one-way tickets between each destination (some destinations are day trips too).  Is this correct?  Any tips?  We will be in Paris for a week and then going to Switzerland and then Italy the remainder of the trip.  Thanks!

This is our first Interrail trip, and I think I have most of the details under control.My confusion starts with the travel app.I understand the definition of a travel day - but…On our first day of travel we are going from St Pancras to Lausanne with changes in Paris and Geneva.The last leg of the journey does not involve the need to book seats, so we are free to travel as and when we please.How do I record this in the app as a travel day?Do I need to include all the interstitial stops, or do I merely select the date and enter the start and end points?The start time is fixed by the service from London that we are booked on, but our final arrival time is open to discussion as we can just jump on any train that covers that leg.

Hello all, we are a party of 3 (2 adults and a 16 yo child) from Indonesia. We plan to buy Eurail Global Pass for our June-July Europe trip. I need your help about reservations for FR and TGV Train within Italy, and from Milan-Paris, also Paris-Frankfurt. How can I do it? Can I have my friend who lives in Germany to do the reservation for us? If yes, please tell me how.Is it better to buy mobile Eurail Global Pass now, or later when I arrive at Rome? But I am afraid if we do it later, the reservation is already full since the time is already near and we have the fixed date for our itinerary. All the accomodations have been booked too.To make a train reservation, I think we need to have Eurail already, don’t we? I do appreciate all the suggestion and help. Thank you so much in advance. Regards, Mer 

In July I am taking a day trip from London to Stratford-Upon-Avon. Someone in this community told me to get a train out of Marylebone station instead of Euston. That helped. Now I am looking at times. The time I wanted to go was 8:07am arriving at 10:13 with a stop in either Dorridge or Warwick (I found same train with these two different train changes. Maybe they haven't figured out which one yet). However, there is only a 10 minute train transfer time. I don't know the size of these train stations. Is that cutting it too close? I won't have luggage since its just a day trip. any suggestions?

I am traveling with family to Europe in December.  We are flying into London, traveling to Amsterdam, Germany, and Belgium.  It will be an 18 day trip.  I’m looking at the pass options and wondering how many days we should get, 10 or 15 knowing we won’t be traveling Christmas or Christmas Eve.  Will prices go down at all closer to travel time or keep going up?  When is the best time to buy them?

For the Eurail train pass purchased for 7 consecutive days in a month, are there free connections from German (e.g., Baden Baden) or French (e.g., Strasbourg) train stations to light rail and/or buses that take you to/from city centers? Or is there a separate fee for the light rail and buses to/from city centers? Thanks in advance for any response(s).

Hello guys, I have a 4 days travelling pass for one month. I am going to Netherland, Sweden and Germany from Bordeaux (France). For one day travel I have up to 4 trains to take (for exemple one train to go from Bordeaux (France) to Lilles (France) and then one train from Lilles to Brussels, then Brussels Rotterdam and Rotterdam Utrecht). Once I want to activate each train I have a message saying that I am using one travel day. My question is if I activate one train for my first day of travelling can I activate my other 3 trains (the same date) without using all my travelling days ? I am really confuse by this so if someone can help me that would be great ! Thanks a lot cheers :)) 

I had saved a train in my trips a few days ago. It had required reservations and I planned on reserving it today. The train no longer appears. Does this mean the train is fully booked? The trips is over a month away still. Thanks for the help!

Can anyone advise why it isn’t possible to book a train from Lulea in Sweden to Oulu, Finland? Its clear that there are trains running, but not bookable on inter rail app!

Ik wil een flexi pas kopen voor 3 dagen om te reizen in Zwitserland. Het is voor mij de eerste keer. Kan ik ook 3 verschillende reizen op 1 dag maken en hoe doe ik dat?  En is een mobiele pas handiger dan een papieren?

Je ne trouve pas de trains pour quitter la Grèce, avez vous une idée de comment je peux faire ? 

Hello to all of you! I apologize in advance if something is not perfectly understood, as my native language is Spanish and I am using the help of a translator:I am coming to this blog because I am getting married the second week of April and we are planning to go to Eastern Europe for our honeymoon. We had thought of taking a plane to Prague and from there we would take a 5-day pass in a month and visit Bratislava, Busapest, Zagreb, Ljubljana and finish in Vienna, where we would take a plane back to Spain.The truth is that we are a bit afraid of venturing on a trip like this because we don't know the area and we haven't done any similar trip, but at the same time we are very excited about it.I wanted to know if you think it's a good trip to do in 15 days (spending approximately 3 days in each country, although we could make stops taking advantage of the interrail day in other cities) and basically any advice you could give me is really welcome: anything we need to know about offers or

Hi ! I am currently on a trip around Sweden and Norway and everything is fine (despite the strike in France on the Day of departure...). Our outbound Journey was Poitiers/Paris/Dusseldorf. Must the inbound journey be the other way round ? Or can I choose to take the direct Strasbourg to Poitiers to Côme back  home ? Thanks in advance!Franck
