Start point Paris (3 days)>>>Berlin (3 days)>>>Barcelona (3 days)>>>Paris (1 day)>>>then fly back to US

My partner is running the Berlin Marathon and figured we’d travel to a few countries in Europe while we’re at it. First we arrive in Paris…Option 1 (Paris - stay 3 nights)>>>(Berlin - stay 3 nights)>>>(Barcelona-3 nights)>>>(Paris-stay 1 to 2 nights)Option 2 (Paris - stay one night)>>>(Amsterdam - stay two nights)>>>(Berlin - stay 3 nights)>>>(Barcelona-3 nights)>>>(Paris-stay 1 to 2 nights)Which would be more feasible? What is there to do in Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and Barcelona? What are the must visit places and food places to visit? or should we replace our visit with another country?

Travelling to Blanes (Catalonia / Spain)

Hey Guys, my girlfriend and me are in Barcelona right now and thinking about doing a day trip to Blanes. Therefore, we hoped to use our global passes. The problem is, that the Rail Planner app couldn't find the station of Blanes.My app is updated to the latest version. Also, RENFE website as well as the official tourist information tells us trains are operating. Does anybody know if and how we could use our passes for the day trip? Anyways, thanks for your help.

luggage storage on trains and at Paris station/CDG airport

I am an international student will be travelling from Nantes, France to Paris and I will have several pieces of luggage with me on my journey home. One of my suitcases is very large. Where will I be able to put that on a train? I am worried that I won’t find luggage space as I will be travelling Dec 23rd...a busy travel day. I want to be able to put my luggage in an area on the train so that I can keep an eye on it. Also, I was thinking storing my big pieces of luggage in Paris a CDG airport before further travel to other countries. Can anyone recommend a good place to store luggage at this airport? I will be flying back to Canada from Terminal 2 at that airport a few weeks later. Or would it be smarter to store my luggage at the train station near the airport?

Bosphorus express to Bucharest and then onto Budapest

Hi, I’m hoping to manage to get to Budapest next week from Istanbul. I’m about to buy the ticket to Bucharest and then will have about 90 minutes and I’ll need to board the sleeper to Budapest (I know, it’s ‘ambitious’). I’m trying to get to my family by train and need to book the Bucharest-Budapest connection in advance online and it’s pretty expensive. From there I’m hoping to get on the all-day train to Warsaw, but again, who knows if it’s possible with border crossings etc. Does anyone have experience with Bosphorus Express - does it arrive on time usually? Thanks a million!

Global Pass

Hey guys, I want to buy a Global Pass and let's assume I reside in Germany... that doesn't work, right? I can only enter and exit once. How am I supposed to travel from east to west and from south to north without going through Germany? And that for 2 months? Let's say I start from Germany to Poland, but then want to go to France, do I have to go to Italy first???? That would be total nonsense, wouldn't it?

Will the Swiss Gotthard Tunnel accident affect my Venice - Vienna train?

My train from Vienna to Venice leaves at around 6 am in the morning on the 7th of September. Will that train be affected by the derailment accident of the Swiss Gotthard Tunnel?Then name of my train is RJ 131 and I think its route is only Vienna to Venice, if I did my research correctly. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong and I'd love some clarity on my doubts!

Reservation required

Hello Thx for any help to the following, much appreciated.If a person has a first class Eurail Pass but the route has to be reserved and only 2nd class reservations are available, would that person have any chance of sitting in first class? [My wife heard your bags are more secure in first class?] We are first timers. 2) If a route is recommended to buy reservations but not required and they are no reservations available would that mean the Train is full or do they only sell a limited amount of reservations? I live in a community with Ferries and they sell way too many reservations in peak season (cash grab). Thx for any help. Brian
