Hi, my friend and I are thinking of traveling around Europe from mid May until Mid July, the current plan is to stay in hostels and use workaway for accommodations. We'll be moving around every 3-4 days so I'm not entirely sure what our destinations are yet exactly. She has a dual citizenship in UK and Bulgaria, so we didn't think about it until now, but will it be fine to just go without and if not is there a blanket visa I can get because we're thinking to go to about 13-15 places and may use workday multiple times and i don't know what visa's I would need.Thanks.

transfer from arlanda airport to stockolm by trin is included without using a day of the 4 I have in the OCP

I know this platform is mostly for asking rail questions, but I think this platform may be a good place to ask.  Has any female travellers in the community used the platform Nomad Sisters, where you sign up and stay with a local woman for free? For people who has used the platform what’s your feedback and is t safe and legit?  Thanks!

Can the pass be used on any of the ferries to cherbourg as the planner won’t allow me to route any way apart from eurostar. I was looking at portsmouth to cherbourg . thanks

Hey,so I am planning an interrail route including the ferry from bari to patras and I want to go on the 13.1.2026. The issue is I can not select any date further than the 10.1. and I can not find a timetable anywhere only. Does anyone know when they update their timetable and when I can book the seats?Another question: Somewhere on the Interrail website it said the bus from Patras to the Athens port is included if you take the fery. Is this still up to date? I am grateful for any help :) 

Help needed - I'm trying to organise an itinerary for my 19 year old daughter and myself for December 25 Jan 26. With the schedule I’ve currently organised all we will be doing is sitting on a train travelling from town to town. SHe’s here for 3 weeks. What is the ideal amount of travel v’s staying in one town/city. Currently she flies into Frankfurt, then I thought 2 nights in Amsterdam, 3 nights in Munich (we have family here), then 4 nights in Garmisch-Partenkirchen for Christmas. Then Venice for 1 night, Milan for 2 nights, Nice for 1 night, Barcelona for 3 nights, Paris for 3 nights then back to Frankfurt for 1 night as that’s where she will fly out from.Is this too much travelling around? Should I cut one or two places out and concentrate on the other destinations. THis is VERY hard. Open to all suggestions.Thanks

I will be travelling around Germany in December. Frankfurt > Cologne $Euro111Cologne > Nuremberg $Euro159Nuremberg > MunichMunich > Vienna I find that the Eurail pass seems cheaper at 2 pax for USD $500.Whereas the DB train ticket price is as above. Are there any cheaper options out there still?Would also like to check is it a must to do seat reservation?

I am booking a trip from a town in England via London St. Pancras to Nuremberg. I put my departure time as 5 in the morning and it gives me the two legs of the journey with times, but I want more time to cross London and to go through passports etc. I cannot see how I can say I want to leave St. Pancras on a later train.

Hello Interrailers, It seems like the app does not want to show the travel possibilities on the 13th of December, at least for the journey I am planning to take - Copenhagen Central station to Brussels Central station.Is it a glitch or do other people have the same issue?Thanks for the help! 😁Oriane

Hi, I am attempting to activate a digital ticket to travel on a Trenord service. All the advice I have refers to a 14 digit code, although the Trenord App infers 15 digits (in a 5+10 format), but nothing I have on my order corresponds to this. Can anyone help, please. I am due to travel on 28 November, which is the day of another Italian rail strike, and that is another problem I will have to sort out. Kind RegardsMichael

Will there be a Black Friday discount this year?

We have booked a trip from Prague to krakow and for some reason it keeps saying it’s adding a day and the trip taking 29 hours    has anyone seen this before?  We have removed it and tried it again but doesn’t seem to change  we don’t want to be charged for two days on the pass thank you!!  

Hi everyone, as I’m starting to plan next years travels I’m wondering about the value of getting a pass vs normal tickets for a teenager under 14.This year I just assumed that it would be worthwhile for my 12 year old son as it was for me, but then looking on the individual train companies, I realized that more often than not, he could have traveled for free, being with a parent, so I came to wonder how this is handled in every European country.Switzerland (my country of residence): kids under 16 can get a Junior Card (30 CHF for one year) and then travel for free if the accompanying parent has a valid ticket (Interrail pass included, at least that’s what a ticket inspector told me) Germany: kids under 14 travel for free with a parent, but have to be registered on the ticket (so as far as I understand not possible with an Interrail Pass).  Austria: same as in Germany but the age limit is 15 Italy: seems to differ from region and t

hey everyone, my name is Lars, i am 19 years old, from Belgium and will be travelling with interrail in september 2026. I speak fluent dutch, french and english I have no clue where i wanna go yet, so if you are seeking a travel buddy hit me up on instagram @lars.mussche 

Is there a reason why some Polish trains are not yet updated in the app? I am trying to travel between Cracow and Prague on December 15, but no trains show. On the Deutsch Bahn and Oebb websites, there are numerous trains. I have also been able to record trains between Warsaw and Cracow so it’s not that all Polish trains are missing. Any idea when these trains will be added? (And yes, I’ve added the train manually, but I would rather be using an actual ticket not a manual entry.)

I’m trying to go from Amsterdam Centraal (or Zaandam) to Coutances, France. I’m trying book for the day after tomorrow 11/23. I understand seats possibly running out due to how late I’m booking. But no matter how far in advance I check for seat reservations (this photo shows 11/28) every route I check which has Paris to Lison gives me an error code of E0620.  Is this the systems way of trying to tell me that they’re out of seats without actually saying it?

Hi, I understand that the pass is the ticket but I do not understand how the pass knows if there is still space on the train. For example, I want to travel from Annecy to Munich. I will have to stop off in Annemasse, Geneva and Zurich. Some of these journeys say "booking recommended". So the booking is not obligatory. But what if I confirm the entire trip, get to Zurich and want to create the ticket for the Zurich - Munich stretch and the app tells me " sorry there is no more space on this train" ? Even on trains that do not require any booking. I guess that if the train is full, the ticket machine or person does not sell you a ticket...? So is that not the same for interrail? Or does the app kind of create a seat for me when I confirm the trip? Even if I have not paid for a seat? I have not taken many trains before 😅

Hello everyone.I live in Canada and I need some help here.On 26-OCT I booked a sleeper for two people using my Eurail Global Pass through RailEurope.com. The train I booked is the InterCityNotte number 797 from Trenitalia leaving Milano on 07-JAN at 22h18 and arriving Napoli Centrale next morning at 08h46. My credit card was charged and I received email confirmations from RailEurope and Trenitalia, with my reservation attached to those emails.The problem I am experiencing is that this train disappeared from Trenitalia timetable, as if it wasn’t running any more on January 7th. I haven’t received any email neither from RailEurope nor from Trenitalia to inform me that the train was canceled. I would like to know if it’s “normal” a train that was selling tickets disappear from the timetable or if I have to start to think about another train itinerary to get to Napoli. Thank you in advance Marcelo

I'm planning a night train journey soon and have a question regarding the Interrail mobile app's behavior. I'm hoping some experienced travelers can help me out!My journey details are: Departure from Budapest-Keleti (19:10 on July 8th) and arrival at Dresden Hbf (05:53 on July 9th).From what I understood, for direct overnight trains, only one day should be marked as a travel day. However, the mobile app has marked both July 8th AND July 9th as travel days for this specific journey.I've attached two screenshots.  The first one shows the full journey preview, and the second highlights a potential change point at Břeclav (though the train number seems to continue as EN 40476).Is this normal be
