General

A group of four of us are planning our first European rail trip in 2024.Our initial route is as follows:Friday 28 June - London St Pancras to StrasbourgDay 2 - Strasbourg to ChurDay 3 - Bernina Express to Tirano and onto VarennaDay 6 - Varenna to MilanDay 8 - Milan to Interlaken/LauterbrunnenDay 11 - Interlaken/Lauterbrunnen to LucerneDay 14 - Lucerne to ParisDay 15 - Paris to London St PancrasAll of journeys look reasonably straightforward and the 7 day pass seems the best option.  It would be great to hear any tips from more experienced travelers to make the most of our journey.  

Hello folks!I’m Dan. I am 25 and living in the UK. I am looking for someone/people to travel with in the July period for 1-2 months.I am really eager to see Europe for what it has to offer, but would feel a hell of a lot more confident & comfortable if I had travelling companions.I am totally flexible as far as destinations go. As long as Italy is included I am happy!I look forward to any potential replies :)Or you can reach me on my Instagram @dannielalexander_

Hi. We want to take the golden pass express in Swizerland on June 16. I have a few questions: Where does it start and what are the available time schedule? How do we reserve seats? Is it better to start from Geneva or Bern?  Does the golden pass route have specific time? Can we bring luggage in the golden pass train? Where does it end?Thank you!

I was looking at trains from Heidelberg to Munich Central Station but only Munchen Ost Station comes up when I search.  Is that correct or am I imputing incorrect information. Thanks

I’m from Asia and I’m planning on visiting a few European countries for the first time in Feb 2024. I was thinking of using the Eurail pass for trains across countries but the schedules are not updated for early 2024 yet and due to this, I cant plan or purchase any of my accommodations, tours or flights unless I have these train schedules available and confirmed.Does anyone have any idea when the Feb 2024 schedules will be available for booking/reservation? 

Salve, come mai non mi fa prenotare il posto sulla tratta bucarest istanbul sull’app? Per caso questo treno si prenota solo nella stazione ferroviara locale? 

HiiI want to visit Rome. My start point is Turkey. What am I giong to do? I'm kinda stressed.

Je ne trouve pas de trains pour quitter la Grèce, avez vous une idée de comment je peux faire ? 

I wanted to go from Trondheim to Sundswall on June 6 roughly but I cannot find the leg between Storlien SW and Sundswall. Direct. It only suggest a route through Lillehammer etc 24 hours long... Please help. Thanks.

Hi Guys. The Planner on the App does not let me book a Renf Train from Malaga to Fuengerola. Is this route not on the Inter Rail/ Eurail Network? Cheers Andrew 

Looks like majority of the fast trains are scheduled and seats available (but with the ticket only) much (even months) earlier in Trenitalia than in interrai.eu book reservations. Any tips how to get the seat reservation when you have bought the interrail ticket  already when schedules, tickets and seats available in Trenitalia? Cancel interrail ticket and buy tickets for Italy directly from Trenitalia?

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????!

Hiya, first time eurail user here. I reserved two seats from Paris to Lyon. The tickets showed a cart number and a seat number. However when we got on the train (which was very rushed as it was late and there was no staff to help) there was no cart number which matched the ticket. We hopped on one of the carts and tried to at least walk through and find our seat number but our seat didn’t exist (we were seats 113 and 114 and the numbers on the train went straight from 112 to 115. We ended up just sitting on the floor of the stairs. Any idea how this happened?? As I was under the impression buying a seat reservation guaranteed you a seat on the train. Thanks!!Emily 

How to add Öresund trains to my pass since they do not show in the rail planner please? I want to travel from Copenhagen to Goteborg and to Oslo. I cannot find them in the rail planner. I understood I do not need a reservation. Thanks.

The italy rail announced a trike in May 26th.We have booked the hotel in Arezzo 25th. We originally plan to take the early train (RV train no reservation required) from Arezzo to Roma, however this train has been canceled and we have booked the flight from Roma to our homecountry. So we have to make a reservation for another train due to this strike. We are wondering if the reservation fee (the reseravation fee in italy is expensive 10euro each person) can be reimbursed in this case? Many thanks for the help!!!

Hi,I would like to go from Milan to Bodoe tomorrow night but in Eurail , l can not find the night trains in planner section.Can anybody help me in this matter?Thank you in advance 😀

Hi, im travelling from amsterdam to Decin Hlavni Nadrazi with multiple train changes. I already paid for reservation from Amsterdam to Hannover Hbf (since it’s recommended). However, there is a 4 hours train after that (Hannover Hbf > Dresden Hbf) in the journey that the eurail planner does not show seat reservation recommended. Am i guaranteed a seat on this train? Since I don’t want to stand up throughout the 4h train journey. I attached the screenshot for reference.

Ich möchte gerne mit einem IC über Nacht von Wien nach Berlin fahren. Ich fahre bereits vor Mitternacht in Wien los und komme erst am Folgetag in Berlin an. Ich muss dabei nicht umsteigen, es ist ein Direktzug. Gilt dieser Zug als Nachtzug & gilt quasi als 1 Reisetag oder muss ich für diese Variante 2 Reisetage meines Interrailpasses in Anspruch nehmen?Vielen Dank & beste Grüße 

We are leaving to Great Britain on monday, and have not received our Interrail Great Britain Pass Senior yet. Can you send it to us by e-mail or send it as mobilpass?

Hello. I want to know is there's train service from skopje to Belgrade. Tuesday 23/05/2023

Dear experienced travellers, I am planning a trip to Italy this summer with my family by train, but have some uncertainties about the travelling days/planning. Hopefully anyone in this community can help me with some advice. Our plan is to travel from our homecity 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands to Rome for  a week or so, than to a small city underneath Napels (to visit Napels, the Vesuvius and Pompei) for a few days and then return home. My most important question, are the outward and inward journey to our homecountry included in the 4 days of the 'global pass 4 days'?A bit more explanation with the schedule for our first trip from home to Rome (:-)) that would look something like this:20.09u Departure 's-Hertogenbosch 23.44u Arrival Koblenz 00.49 Departure Koblenz 06.20 Arrival Basel 06.28 Departure Basel 10.40u Arrival Milano 10.58u Departure Milano 14.10 Arrival Roma

hello everyone  my wife and I are flying into Lamezia on 21 September and will then take the Frecciarossa to Messina leaving Lamezia Centrale at 1730, train #9583. My question is this: does the train go to Messina or do we have get off the train in Villa San Giovanni and make our own way to the ferry port? We do have a rail pass. When I was looking for trains to add to our trip, I entered Messina Centrale and this train came up as going to Messina. Does it really go to Messina?
