Pass Deutschland/Schewiz

Ich lebe in Deutschland, ich werde im August in mehrere Städte in die Schweiz fahren, meine Frage ist:Wenn ich einen Global Pass kaufe, sind Hin- und Rückfahrkarten mit dem Zug von Deutschland nach Schweiz inbegriffen oder muss ich zwei Pässe kaufen, einen für die Schweiz und einen für Deutschland?Was wäre die günstigste Lösung? Würde es bedeuten, nur den Switzerland Pass zu kaufen und das Hin- und Rückfahrticket für den Zug von Deutschland aus zu bezahlen?Ich habe bei der Deutschen Bahn nachgefragt und die Preise sind viel teurer, aber der Kauf von 2 Pässen ist auch sehr teuer!! :(Vielen lieben Dank

Trip to Greece from France

Hi! I’m planning to go to Greece from Marseille with the global pass of 15 days within 2 months. My plan is to do the North of Italy first, then go to Slovenia, Austria, Hungary and then Croatia. I planned to go down the Adriatic coast and join Greece this way but I came to realize that Albania isn’t reachable by train and I was wondering if Bosnia and Montenegro are ? Seems that there are no trains from Croatia to Bosnia. Any advices would be great ! Thanks in advance

Reassurance that I don’t need to reserve tickets

Hi, I am looking at a train I will be getting from Salzburg to Budapest Saturday 27th July.Either 11.07 or 13.07 direct. It confirms free with Interail pass and no seat reservations required. But this pops up when I click on train time, saying  no seat guaranteed? I just want to confirm this is to do with other trains and not mine? Many thanks ☺️

E possivel ter um upgrade para mais dias no eurail global?

Preciso saber também como realizar os seguintes trechos com economia, pois só tenho 4 dias disponíveis no cartão.1. Berna - Roma ou Berna - veneza2. Veneza - roma (rota alternativa para ver se consigo economizar)3. quero visitar o Vaticano (será que um passe para os transportes internos é muito caro? Somos 4 pessoas)4. Roma - França ou Veneza - França (rota alternativa)Então estou procurando resolver esses percursos para assim saber se terei que comprar passes separadamente. Obrigada

confused on how to book eurostar tickets from London St Pancras to Brussels

Hi, after a fab reply to my initial question last week about booking train from London to Salzburg I have gone onto www.raileurope.com to see if tickets are available ( I think it might be next Sunday they are out?).I went onto rail passes ( rather than train tickets) to book 9.01 from St Pancras’s to Brussels. Nothing seems to come up to enter interail pass ) just railcards). It just tells you full price of ticket. Is this because the tickets with an interail pass are still not available yet?Also can I book my return at same time for Sat 10th August from Brussels to London.   ( is it cheaper?) or can I only book two singles?I want to be fully prepared for when the seats do become available. Many thanks 🙏

Paris to Rome travelling on 4 Feb 24

Pls help, I am worried about my route and connecting. Seems route is joining local trains and is not an international route.Are the stops & connecting time’s realistic? They seem so short to me.Is the route and arrival at the stations safe esp during the times with small kids? Is there a way to get another route? What options do I have for someone travelling tomorrow? Is it better to book flights?

Frankfurt - Zurich - Zermatt - Zurich - Frankfurt

Hello All! Great Community! I have a very quick question regarding the possibility of my weekend trip:A 4 day global pass is needed for the following:-Friday: Frankfurt - Zürich-Saturday: Zürich - Zermatt-Sunday: Zermatt - Frankfurt (with stop in Zürich)(with one day to spare).And as I have seen I can use any trains for these trips right? Even the ICE for Frankfurt to Zürich as an example. (As long as they show up when I search using the interrail search engine). If I just take the trip Zürich - Zermatt and back a one-country pass would be enough right? (Making sure I understood correctly). Thank you very much in advance!

Trying to book Eurostar with eurail/interail site, St Pancras to Salzburg

Hi,Trying to book 3 seats for 9.01 (0r 8.34) it changes!, for Saturday 19th July from London St Pancras to Salzburg. I am desperate to start reserving seats as mum going Interrailing for 3 weeks with my teenage girls and want to get it all confirmed. I realise the final two parts of the journey on German trains are (I think) not available to book yet.But tried to book first leg of journey (London to Brussels Midi and Brussels Midi to Frankfurt), remembering to reserve seats, and it all goes through until payment. Then will not let me, says error with part of journey.Is it just that the seats are still not available to book yet? I don't want it to fill up. I also tried to book our journey home 3 weeks later on Friday 9th August, overnight Nightjet train from Vienna to London and similar thing happened, this was on the OBB website using Method 1 (as explained on Man in seat 61, a life saver for many!)I would be grateful for any reassurance!

90-day reservations on Nightjet from Stuttgart to Venice

Hi everyone. The Interrail/Eurail website has consistently been telling me that reservations for this service open 90 days prior to travel date, in my case 22 October. Reservations therefore ‘opened’ a couple of days ago yet the only option I am given on Interrail is a second class seat and, on OBB, the option to reserve a section of the seating compartment. From others’ knowledge and experience, will the sleeping berths have sold out, which seems increasingly likely as tickets look like they’ve been available on OBB for months! If this is the case then the reservations section on the Interrail website contains misleading information. Many thanks Richard

I mistyped My Name

Hello! I have a question about the Eurail Global Pass! I am planning to use the Eurail Global Pass for 10 days starting Feb 2. However, when I made my reservation I mistyped my name with two capital letters "TOmohiro" instead of "Tomohiro". Will this interfere with my use of Eurail in Europe?

Transfer pass from broken phone

Hi !I’m going to travel for the first time with an interrail pass : from France to Stockholm, Narvik, the down the norwegian coast to Oslo and Copenhagen. Departure on feB 17th.I bought the pass in november and installed it on my mobile but the phone broke. I bought a new one, evereything seemed  fine so I installed the app and transfered my pass. But then, after a few days, I do not have a connection anymore : neither by the SIM card, nor the 4/5G.The pass is still not activated.Could I transfer it again to another phone, given that it’s not activated yet ? I read can you can only transfer once but I don’t know if it only applies when the pass is activated…Starting to get a bit anxious about it…Thanks !Franck.

Our Top 10 Improvements to This Year's December Timetable Release

It’s a special time of year! Twice annually, the European Railway Carriers release an updated timetable, making the second Sunday of December feel a little like New Year’s for train travellers. This release includes new routes, connections, services, and more. We have been eagerly anticipating how this timetable update will top previous releases. Well, the time has come, and we are thrilled to share the 10 most impactful improvements! New night trains: Starting from Brussels or Paris to BerlinThe latest additions to the ÖBB Nightjet routes will connect Brussels and Paris to Berlin. The direct night train service between Berlin and Paris, previously known as City Night Line, last operated in 2014. Travellers missed this night route, and we are pleased that passengers can travel it again three times per week.The Brussels to Berlin route runs six days per week, with both European Sleeper and the Nightjet running three times each on different days. How to find schedules: Rail Planner.Reser

Are these the only routes we can go?

  We noticed that these are the available train routes. Are we restricted to these tracks, or is it possible for us to travel by train to different cities on lines that are not connected to the yellow line?The yellow line is a specific train line that runs between capital cities. However, there are many other train lines that run throughout Europe, and you can travel to many different cities on these lines.
