Is it convenient to use the global pass in my itinerary?

Hello, I am going to travel to Spain, Madrid on December 22 until January 9, during that time I would love to visit other nearby countries such as France, Italy and Switzerland, I was thinking of buying the Global pass, but I see that all the trains to those destinations require reservations , therefore I don't know if the pass is worth it, or how I can get a route without trains with a reservation. I accept options for other routes to Europe from Madrid that do not require a reservation. Thank you

ferry trip Barcelona-CIVITA VECCHIA

This ferry trip has a discount in Ferry Grimaldi lines. The Eurail pass needs to be activated to get the discount. Does the ferry trip count as a EURAIL PASS TRAVEL  DAY ?Does the pass remain active for the given period ( 1 month etc ….) after the Eurail pass was used once ?Will the pass need to be activated specifically for the ferry trip ? Can the RailPlanner app be used for activation ot the Eurail pass, IF NECESSARY please ?

Security- czech railway - Budapest/ Bratislava

Just a little warning - I had bags stolen today from the shelf above my head on a short morning journey from Budapest to Bratislava. Train staff were rude and unhelpful. I should have kept my bags on seat beside me. Last week the guard warned me to be extra careful on the sleeper to lock all doors. I should have been equally careful during the day. Watch out folks!

Black Friday promotion

I want to take advantage of the promo and buy my pass. The promo says to activate before June 1, but I travel starting May 2 and ending June 24. It's my first time buying the pass and I'm a little confused. I understand that I can activate the pass without a problem since I start in May, but my question is if I do not incur some fault since I will also be traveling almost the entire month of June. They help me?

Timetable for regional trains?

Does the Eurail Pass cover “secondary routes’?  Calling them ‘secondary’ as they do not show up on the map on the website, but are on the “timetable”, but have a cost listed with it.  We wish to go from Barcelona to Pamplona.  Thx

Seat reservations. Madrid to Dortmund in one day?

Good afternoon. I have bought a pass. But I have many doubts.1. Can I only travel with a reserved seat? What happens if I don't book on the train on which I already have a ticket?2. How is the reservation made effective?3. Are there options to use 1 day pass for each final destination? Because from Madrid to Dortmund it only offers me to travel in 2 days.Thanks for the help.

Hi all,I'm planning an interrail trip in Northern Central Europe for 17 days in late July and early August with my partner. We are in our 50s, reasonably fit, and are fairly experienced travellers. We both work in schools so can't go at any other time.At the moment, this is my draft plan:Day 1: Eurostar to Brussels; change to Cologne.Day 2: Cologne to Berlin, via the scenic Rhine line.Stay in Berlin for 3 days, then train to Krakow.Day 6: visit AuschwitzDay 7: train to Prague for 3 daysDay 10: train to ViennaDay 11: train to SwitzerlandNext 2-3 days: Trains around Switzerland - probably the Global Express route but using local trains, plus the Golden Pass route. Hoping to visit Montreux and currently waiting to see if friends of friends can accommodate us for a night or two in Basel!Last 2-3 days: possibly Nightjet to Amsterdam, and chill out/decompress there til coming home via the Eurostar again.Honest thoughts please? As I say, it's a draft plan at the moment!I'm assuming you'll agr

Nightjet Stuttgart to Venice December 2023 train

Hi everyone,Looks like most of the night train timetables/tickets are out now and available for sale in ÖBB/Nightjet website. I’m looking to buy a night train ride from Stuttgart to Venice in mid- December (only a few weeks away eek!!). Currently it only has timetable but no tickets are available.Does this mean we need to wait a little longer until these are released? If so does anyone know when this is likely to be available from? Or does this mean something else (e.g. not running anymore, or tickets sold out)? Many thanks all for your help! really appreciated.
