Hi all,Planning a trip from Finland to southern France and back next October as a family of 4. I got the impression that separate train tickets bought well in advance might end up being cheaper than the global pass. But interrailing last summer to Italy and back we found that quite a few of the trains that we took were delayed. My question now is, what happens if we have bought separate tickets and one or more of our trains are delayed so that we won't be able to make the next connection? I understand that the global pass is considered a through ticket so we would be booked for the next available train, but if we have separate tickets do we need to buy new ones ourselves? Any other thoughts on the matter are also welcome 😊

Hey guys,I've planned a trip to norway at the end of August through Germany, Denmark and Sweden. I planned every train and waited for them to be opened. I look for the trains I want and it says that "the seats reserved for pass holders" are all taken. So does it mean I won't be able to make my trip? Thanks

How can I be sure Ive booked a double sleeper for 2?  Eurail site offers a T3 singolo , while Trenitalia offers a doppia cabina intera?  Is this the same thing? 

Can I take the train at 21:40 for 3 euros in combination with my interrail ticket?

Yet again I am going to be affected by the train strikes next week in France. I’ve got a tight schedule, on May 9  from Mulhouse to Paris then the Eurostar to London.  Last time I tried to travel in France,  all the trains I’d reserved or planned to use were cancelled due to a strike -  and now it seems that there will be a lot of disruption again. May 8th is apparently a very busy travel day if anyone else is trying to travel then!. I’m thinking that I’ll have to  reschedule and go north via Germany as I have to be in the UK by May 9.  Does anyone know if there will be any trains at all from Basel to Mulhouse and return?  There don’t seem to be any buses that are well timed.  SNCF won’t release information until the evening before which is useless!  any advice would be very very welcome if anyone has experience with this issue: thanks.  (am arriving in Europe on  Tuesday)

Hallo Zusammen Ich habe mich entschieden vom 22.8-29.8.2024 ein Ein Länder Pass (Italien 3 Tage 1 Monat zu kaufen. Ich möchte gerne die Städte Rom und Florenz besuchen. Daher habe ich einige Fragen:Ich werde 3 Tage in Rom, 3 Tage in Florenz verbringen reicht das um die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten zu sehen oder habt ihr welche Tipps die ihr noch empfehlen würdet? Mein Start ist von Luzern dann nach Rom von Rom dann nach Florenz und dann von Florenz zurück nach Luzern daher reicht der 3 Tage in 1 Monat Pass? Auf der Raileurope, Interrail Sitzplatzreservierung kann man noch nicht buchen daher muss ich mich noch ein wennig gedulden da die Italienische Bahn den Fahrplan recht spät öffnet, daher meine Frage die Strecke Roma nach Florenz gäbe es ein Regionalzug lohnt sich der oder soll ich lieber mit dem FR Zug nehmen?      

I need to travel with my son from Madrid to Narbonne at 13:18 by Renfe, which are the options to make that resevation?

Hello. My son is in the UK and purchased a Eurail pass to do some traveling. He recently heard that the London to Paris route is no longer supported by the Eurail pass. Is this true?Thank you in advance for any help!

Our planned trip (In April) currently sees us going from Monterosso to Milan (1 night) > Brig* on a direct Eurocity train > connect to the Glacier Express towards Chur (1 night) > Bernina Express to Tirano > Varenna (3 nights)> Venice.Milan isn’t that exciting so I was wondering if it was realistic to do Monterosso > Brig (1 Night) > Glacier Express to Chur (1 night or maybe even none) > Bernina Express to Varenna instead.I think more time on the Glacier/Bernina runs may be better than a night in Milan. Is that reasonable, or not worth the effort to change things around?I don't know if the Glacier Express leg adds a lot to the journey, as another alternative might be straight from Monteross To Chur (1 night) to Tirano to Varenna and add an extra night there.Or am I just overthinking this and be satisfied with the current plan?  

Hi All..I am planning to take half day trip from Muenchen to Neuschwanstein Castlebut I notice it quite late, will be back to Muenchen around 4.30 PM.is there any half day trip that offer come back to Muenchen earlier?

Hi, I have just been entering my first travel day on interail planner and worried as my ticket to get from London St Pancras to Brussels midi is 9.01 am Sat 20th July. Arriving 12.05pm. I’m hoping to catch the 12.25 train to Koln. This arrives 14.15. Then 14.53 to Munchen, then 20.50 to Salzburg, arriving 22.42.When I put it into the planner it tells me that I get into Brussels at 12.13 ( not 12.05). If I don’t have enough time to get 12.25, then I looked at 1.25 from Koln to Munchen, but it says on site I need to reserve this train at 29 euros. The next train is 15.46, gets to Munchen 21.13, I would then have to get 21.43 to Salzburg getting in at 23.37. Sorry it’s so long, but my questions are, is the time on my ticket correct to get into Brussels on Eurostar at 12.05? Or is 12.13 as on interail site correct? Would I have enough time to get 12.25 train to Koln?If not, should I reserve the 1.25 train from Brussels to Koln at 29 euros? 3 of us travelling! Lastly, if all goes really wro

For starters thankyou in advance, Community.  If I were in the know I would gladly offer my advice to everyone.Today I am 90 days out on a trip from Barca to Lyon (August 4th).  I went to reserve seats for my wife, son and I and it states that I cannot.  I have (3) 1st class, Eurail Global Passes for multi days.  When I click o the Rail Planner app to make a seat reservation it launches an option to (Go to the website), so I do. On the website it states *Not available from Eurail.com.  This seat Rez can’t be booked on our website. Click More Info.  So I do.  From there it state in bullet points.  1. You can book up to 90 in Advance (today). 2. Print at home, and you get emailed up to 3 hours prior. 3. Post delivery up to 6 days before. and other facts that you will be booked in you class and placed together.  Also, you can book at the station, and only locally in Spain. What do I do or where do I go for the most seamless way forward with what I have (Eurail Global Pass)?  Is it the las

New this booking tickets this way. Any help appreciated.My son is looking to travel for 3 weeks through France, Spain and Portugal. He would like the freedom to travel on days when he is ready to move on. Can anyone suggest the type of ticket he would need? Thanks in advance. 

HelloLike many people, I'm trying to book the Stockholm -> Narvik in August. The train can be booked on the VY website but without the interrail option :( I'm trying to call them but despite long waits I can't get through to anyone... Has anyone managed? Do you know if the internet booking system will work soon? I was wondering if I should go through a travel agency to get help?Thank you for your helpKarine

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

Based in London, I’m a senior, solo traveller, and in Italy only having seen Rome and Florence briefly some 50 years ago, Then a sad trip to Venice (nothing to do with the city) in 2010.I want to get to know Italy, particularly its food and wine.  I’m a freelance writer and translator.I am attending a 1-week retreat in Perugia from 15 April and I would like to travel in Italy for 3 weeks after that, from 22 April to 13 May.Should I get an interrail pass for ??? days travel in 1 month?Can I use the Interrail to get to Perugia from the airport when I arrive from London?  I can fly into Florence or Bologna.  The 2nd class Interrail pass does not let you take airport train in Florence, it seems. Does this make sense economically?How do I get the most of the Interrail Pass in my situation.I am not interested in being everywhere, but rather in staying in a place at least 2,3 days and get to know it and its people.The wines I adore from Italy are not the expensive big names, no Super Tuscans

Hello! We will be traveling in Switzerland for 6 days in late May 2023. We have identified several small quaint towns to potentially visit while there. My concern is the lists came from large national publications with millions of subscribers. The towns may no longer be small or quaint when we visit!Can you recommend some small, charming towns/villages for us to consider?Thank you for your time and consideration. Jim Waters    

I am not seeing direct trains from venice to milan on aug 4th evening and milan to interlaken ost on aug 7th morning. Please help. I have global pass. Looked in rail Europe.

I am travelling to Europe for the first time, flying into Rome and home from London. I am considering a Eurail, first class, 10 day travel pass, valid for 2 months. The hope is to see Florence, Cinque Terre, Milan (also Lake Como) , Venice, Fiume Veneto (near Pordenone), Vienna, Prague, Munich, Zurich, Lyon, Paris and London.I started using the Eurail travel planner and found that it can’t find many of the places I want to go. I know that some of the lesser towns (e.g. Lake Como) will probably mean a separate bus trip or hire car. However I need to know where the main train lines run so I can make sure I can get to places I need to get to, or how close I can get them, especially Fiume Veneto where I have family. I thought Eurail was linked to all train lines in Europe, but I am worried that it may not be ideal for my needs.Also, I am unsure if I am better off booking every accommodation and every train trip before I leave home, or is it easy enough to book train travel and accommodatio

2 reservations one from Prague to Krakow and one from Budapest to Zagreb have to be sent by post and I have to pay for it!!! It does not come to my house, I would have to give the address of some accommodation. Has anyone been through this?! it is not possible to send it by email????!

hiWe are only planning on taking 2 trains in August 2024 so not sure if it is worth getting a Eurail card. the trains we are taking are: from Paris to Amsterdam and would like to take the fast 3 hr 20 min  Eurostar bullet which would cost extra if we get the eurail card and sounds like it might be complicated to make sure we get the time we want (I believe it is about 32/37 euros more on top of the eurail card but not sure how easy it will be to get the day and time we want etc). The eurostar ticket if bought separately is anywhere from $158 the cheapest to about $300 so its expensive And from Amsterdam to Berlin on the direct ICE high speed train. This I can get for about $115 cheapest for times and day I want to goIs it worth getting the eurail card or shall we just purchase two separate tickets?Thanks

Please help  I have an issue finding trains in Slovenia. I have contacted the zendesk support but I wanted to ask this here too.I have been told that my app is not up to date. I am on 34.1.0 but am told there is a newer version with the timetables in Slovenia working.I have been to Google Play but I get this: I can't find a way to force my rail app to update itself.I had automatic updates turned on so I'm not sure what is going on.

Hello Community!My sister and i are planning our first interrail trip for 4 weeks in may and June. Because it will be our first interrail tour, we hope to get some help from you. I informed myself a lot, but I'm very confused, because of so much informations. First I will show you the route we want to do:We will start at 25.05.2023 in Valencia?Then: Valencia to Alicante, Alicante to Granada, Granada to Cordoba, Cordoba to Sevilla, Sevilla to Faro, Faro to Lagos, Lagos to Lisbon, Lisbon to Madrid, Madrid to Barcelona, Barcelona to Marseille, Marseille to Nice, Nice to Venedig or Nice to Milan, at the end back to Germany.My questions:I noticed that there are seat reservations required in Spain. Can I book them in advance from Germany at a DB shelter? Or do I have them to book on a RENFE site? First, we thought about buying a global pass, 15 days in two months. Do you think it's better to take less days and use buses instead of trains? Are buses like ALSA a good opportunity to travel chea

Sorry guys, this is train full?
