Hello everyone, my name is Louka. I would like to travel with someone I know, and during the group creation process, we are asked to enter their name and order number, which we have but it doesn't work and gives us an error message saying that the name or order number is incorrect...

Hello, absolute Eurail beginner here. We’re from New Zealand and landing in Munich in January 2027. Hoping to spend 7-10 days seeing Germany by scenic train, Black Forest and up to Berlin, then Amsterdam and over to London, before several weeks in UK & Ireland, with train travel. We like making plans last minute, so don’t want too many locked-in bookings. What’s the best way to travel by train with last minute flexibility - a global pass, some other pass or point-to-point tickets purchased in-country? Advice appreciated.

How to determine the start date of a global pass?

Hi! I have this big doubt regarding a seat reservation, precisely from milano centrale to basel sbb, at the beginning of september: usually people suggest to book on Oebb app, but it says it's not available.I never booked a seat reservation on the official interrail website, because of the extra commissions, but it seems the only solution (beside Happyrail, which I've just discovered and I don't know if it's legit).My concern is not really about the fees: the interrail website requires a pass number, and mine is purchased but not activated yet (i wanted to activate it the day before the departure).So my two questions are:1) If i purchase the seat reservation on official interrail website, logging in with my profile (the same I purchased the pass), will it mean it will activate my pass, already? 2) is happyrail a safe website to book seat reservations? Does it require pass number as well? Thanks to the folks who can help me 💛 

 Hi, I’m a 27 year old girl who loves to travel and I’ve always wanted to do a Interrail trip. Since I’m not as young as I used to be and right now i’s the perfect time for me to finally do it, I’ve started to plan and organize the optional routes recently after looking for all sorts of videos and information I could find. My goal is to do a backpack trip on my own and my main focuses are be in places I haven’t been, art museums and nature. I do like history museums or historic places too. I always wanted to go to Florencia to see some of my favorite art and the city itself so I figured I could start there and since I’m from Mallorca, an island in Spain, I have to get on a plane or a really long boat trip to go anywhere anyway. My route for now is at least 2 days in Florencia (Italy), then going around Trento/Bolzano area where I could just stay for some hours or maybe stay one night in a hostel. Then, Innsbruck (Austria) for at least a day, maybe too, go to lake Achensee and maybe swi

Ich habe einen Fehler bei Buchung gemacht und werde die Reise nicht nutzen. Die Reservierungen können nicht erstatten werden aber ich möchte gerne meine 4 Tage-Global Pass behalten: Wie kann ich das machen?

Alguien sabe por que el codigo de descuento de Verano Joven no funciona cuando se pone para comprar el pase global en la web de interraíl? En teoria deberia haber un descuento del 50%...

Hi, I’m new in Interrail. I’m traveling to Oslo this coming week and will be having an outbound travel day from the north to the south of NL, near the border picking up my travel companion. 1. Do I have to book a trip to the border? Or to the nearest train station in NL to where my friend lives? 2. How will I see that this trip is booked as one of my 3 Out/Inbound trips?  Thanks, Nants

I purchased two Interrail 4-Day Passes (one for my daughter and one for myself) and activated both on my smartphone. My daughter now needs to use her remaining 2 travel days alone. She is traveling to Paris in two days.Unfortunately, transferring her pass to her phone is not working:Error on her phone: When she enters her last name and pass number, it says "This pass is already being used on another device." Issue on my phone: I cannot delete or deactivate her pass within my Rail Planner app. The "Move pass to another device" function only generates a QR code that redirects to a Google search page. How can I transfer my daughter's pass to her smartphone as quickly as possible? Since her trip is in two days, I would deeply appreciate your urgent assistance!

Hey, I’m an 18 years old guy from Germany that just graduated high school and is now doing is first interrail trip through spain 2026, where I will be visiting Barcelona, Valencia, Madrid & Sevilla. I would like to meet new people there to watch sports together, hike / walk through the cities or do day trips and go to restaurants / bars. If somebody is interested in meeting in one of the above mentioned locations or sharing experiences, my instagram is philipp_s135

Any good ideas what i could use my remaining 2 travel days for. Most likely over a weekend (maybe taking a day or two off to allow for more options)I would start the trip from Karlsruhe (Germany) with regional trains(only have 1 in/outbound day left). For Switzerland and for regional trains in grand est(region of france) i am already covered.One of those days is an in/outbound day. (I kind of have a use for that one already if i want to get home an hour or so quicker ) Any good ideas, i was considering Paris, northern italy or maybe something in Austria.I still have time until 28. July to use them.

I have created a trip on my mobile. In doing so I made a couple of mistakes which I would like to correct but I can find no way of doing so. The option to Edit Trip only allows one to change its name and connect/disconnect to a pass. I would like to delete a journey and change the date of a journey but it seems to be impossible. Do I have to start again and re-create the entire trip?

Hello! When to book reservations in Spain and France? We want to be as spontaneous as possible and if some trains are sold out, do you know any alternatives, like a less popular train or routes somehow? Thanks!

Why are budget trains -- like flixtrain, govolta, ouigo -- not included in interrail?It seems counterintuitive, if they have the lowest running costs I would expect them to be the easiest to include because what interrail pays should be ample for them if it is enough for premium operators? It just doesn’t make sense to me.

We are planning to begin our return journey on September 13 from Ljubljana.The plan is:  Ljubljana to Munich during the day, then Nightjet from Munich.  I want to book the Nightjet, so we definitely have a space.However, Im not sure if we want to spend the final night in Antwerp or Liège prior to going from Brussels back to the UK  on 15 September.My query is this:  do all night trains on this line stop at Liège?If I book to Brussels, can we still get off at Liège if we decide last minute?Is Antwerp or Liège best for a day?Thanks

HI Everyone, I am in copenhagen for one day, can someone recommend a nice local activity to be done for 3 hours?

Is the heatwave still an issue in Paris - does it ruin the exploring of the city? and how about the rest of France in general?
