Validity of Deutschland-Ticket for neighbouring countries

Hi everyone!I have bought one Deutschland-Ticket and I find that there is RE11 train from Koblenz to Luxembourg. I am wondering if the ticket is still valid for this train or do I need buy another ticket to Luxembourg?There are also similar situations for other RE trains to some cities in neighbouring countries.Thanks in advance!

Multiple trains to get in & out of country of residence

I live in rural France , - it will take at least two train journeys to get to the final train that will take me across the border into Switzerland. If these are all part of my outward journey itinerary  on the same day, is this allowed?

Need Opinions For Our Holiday - First time taking the trains in Europe

Hi!My friends and I are traveling to Europe and plan on flying into Paris, taking a train to the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and then back to Paris.  What is the best way to go about this? I’ve been to Europe but never taken the train except inside just the countries alone. Where are the Eurail train stations, is there a better railroad to use, or how do these passes work? About how long would they take to each country, or is it maybe better to rent a car for the more cheaper option? How many travel days should I choose? Any feedback would be great and appreciated!  We are only in Europe for 13 days so planning on staying in each country around 3 days. We also have luggage, so is there a limit of what you can bring on the train too. Thank you!

Travel Buddy in August

Hi, I am looking for someone (or more people) to travel with me in August. I want to use my Interrail-Ticket to travel and see the north of Europe. I am from Germany so I'll start there and my first stop would be Copenhagen in Denmark. After that I want to travel to Stockholm and Oslo. I would like to not travel alone, as I am a woman, and as two or more people it's always more fun. So if that sounds cool for you, please write me and I'd be happy to have company. The tour is not set yet so I am open for ideas and time changes. You can send me a dm on insta @a_na734Love Anna

inbound/outbound query

Hi everyone, I am currently residing in Germany. I have recently purchased interrail global pass (10 days in 2 months). I have planned 2 trips.First stralsund-hamburg-copenhagen and vice versa. This means I will use 2 travel days and inbound/outbound days as well right?Second one is Hannover-Paris-Bern-Zurich-Hannover. So from Hannover to Paris there’s a change in Cologne. Then there’s a eurostar direct connection to Paris. So, as per my understanding I have used all the inbound/outbound trips. Do I need to purchase ticket for Hannover to Paris whole trip or just for Hannover to Cologne? I am a little confused here; is my interrail pass valid for train from cologne to paris. or if I have to leave Germany every time I need to buy a new ticket and use interrail pass outside of the home country.Thank you in advance. I am really looking forward to your inputs!

Question regarding inward and outward travel day

I have a question about my Interrail pass usage. I am a resident of Germany, and I've already used the allowed number of travel days to enter and leave a country. Now, I plan to take a direct train from France that goes through Germany on my way to Austria. Can I still use my Interrail pass for this journey, even though I've used up my inbound and outbound travel days?

switzerland/italy december 2023, 8 days

i am planning an anniversary trip for my kids, 18,20,22, my husband and myself.  i would like to see zermatt and highlights of switzerland, and perhaps northern italy.  wondering how much time we need in all the places, don’t want to be rushed but also don’t want kids to get bored.  also, not sure if packing ski gear to ski for one or two days in zermatt is worth it.  finding a hotel in zermatt is proving to be difficult and expensive(because of last minute planning).  please help with advice/itinerary.  thanks

Seat Reservation for domestic routes within Italy

Hi team,I hold a first class Eurail passI understand that under OBB, we need to select one way/ day tickets for Trains going from Austria to Italy. We cannot use “seat reservation only” option However quickly wanted to check what should we choose for certain domestic Italy routes like :Venice - Rome Rome-Naples Day trip Rome-Pisa-RomeCan I use “seat reservation only” or “day ticket” on OBB? Or can I directly book with Italian operatorAlso, what about non-Italy routes like Zurich - Venice? Thank you

Is Monteross to Brig a viable alternative?

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?

Mobile pass activation

Today I bought the mobile pass and want to make a reservation for Deutsche bahn. I know how to make the reservation. But do I need to activate the pass first before i can make a seat reservation? Or can I activate the pass after I made a reservation? Because I'm not travelling this weekend and I'm afraid that the pass will cost days if I will activate it a few days before my first travelday.

Venice to Geneva

Hi all. Family of 4 travelling from Venice to Geneva (from Geneva we have private transfer to ski resort in Les Gets). They need to know a pick up time but I have no idea what time we would arrive in Geneva. I don’t even know if we would have to change trains part way. Ideally we want to leave early morning, take a fast train to Geneva and arrive between 4-5pm. Would I have to book?Really appreciate ANY advice!

Customer Service for Reservations or Customer Service Number

I live in the US and am trying to book train reservations from Huela or Seville Spain to Barcelona, then to Nice, then to Portofino then to Rome.  Isnt there a company that can do this for you with a fee for services rendered.  Eurorail is not very straight forward for what I am trying to accomplish.  Thanks.
