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  

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?  

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. 

Hello !  We want to travel from zurich to istanbul, so we're taking a night train from zurich to budapest, but when we want to book our seats we can only reserve seats, not couchettes. Can you help me? 

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!

Hello. I want to travel next week and unfortunately cant wait for the paper pass. Can i make reservations for the german, denmark and sweden train wit a mobile only pass? 

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.  

I am Dutch but have been living in Spain since 2018. If I want to use the Global Pass in the Netherlands, how do I prove residency in Spain?

Hello,I am a parent who bought a flexi pass (10 days within 2 months) for myself (adult pass) + a kid pass + young adult  pass (16).Now, I am wondering, since a young adult is with me and since i’ve got a phone travel passes for each person: is it possible that young adult uses that code separatly on her phone, and do some days of travel on her own. For example if she wants to travel home sooner.   Thank you.Biba SJ

Hallo  Ich will von Polen über Litauen nach Lettland immer in die Hauptstädte. Reise ich besser mit Tickets vor Ort kaufen oder mit Interrail . Gibt bei der BahnCard da Möglichkeiten auf Rabatt? Gruß 

One of my goals in Europe is to ride a Sleeper train. I booked the EN 476 from Budapest to Prague.The lady I booked it with at the train station told me the reservation I made was for a bed (rather than a seat), but I want to verify because there was a language barrier and the reservation was so cheap -- only 10€. For context, I have Eurail first class.Attached a picture of the ticket below. 

Avec le Global Pass, j’ai vu qu’il était possible de prendre le train dans son pays 1 fois à l’aller et 1 fois au retour. Cependant, je prévois de faire un tour d’Europe en commençant par Portugal/Espagne puis Italie/Grèce/etc (donc passage en France inévitable). Il y a un trajet Barcelone - Milan (via Lyon) à 25eu, est-il possible de négocier avec Interrail pour obtenir ce prix sans utiliser le “trajet retour” ? Si ce n’est pas possible, puis-je utiliser mon “trajet retour” pour ce voyage et continuer à bénéficier du Pass après ? (Et je m’arrangerais pour le vrai retour en France). Merci pour vos réponses ;)

I am planning to travel trough Europe with a friend from the 28th of may until the 11th of june. We start from the Netherlands and would like to go to the balkans and back. We did a bit of research and found out that the international trains from and to Belgrado(Beograd) are not riding. But Belgrado is probably our most important stop because we would like to go from Sofia to Belgrado and from Belgrado to Zagreb. Can anyone tell us if this is possible in the period we’re travelling. Or that there is another option to travel from Sofia to Zagreb. We want to avoid going back to Budapest. And if it is possible without spending more money than necessary for night train reservations with our interrail card.

Hi I want to go interrailing next summer with my 14 year old son for roughly 2 weeks we have no interest in museums and stuff like that but just want an adventure with fun things to do and lovely scenery to see along the way,  we are outgoing and like watersports and some mountain climbing anything exciting really. Im lost really as to what route to take , I've been to the likes of Amsterdam paris Munich most of Spain and Portugal so I've no interest in those places. The Slovenia croatia one caught my eye but I can't seem to find an itinerary of how many nights to stay where etc . Any help or advice greatly appreciated.  Thanks Dave 

We’re after a little further help planning our first, and likely last, trip to Europe in April/May, 48 days, flying into Rome and out of London. Because we’re in our mid 60’s, we need fewer stops, longer stays. We’ve purchased a 15-travel-day Eurail pass and already had some incredibly valuable advice from this web site, and we’re just trying to make sure our plan is sensible & we’re not missing something “unmissable”.We love the old architecture of Europe, mountains, lakes, scenery and wildlife, not so much the beach scene. The places on our “must see” list are as follows, listed in the order we are thinking about traveling:Tuscany,Lake Como.The Swiss alps – recommended was the Bernina & Albula railways between Tirano and Chur.Venice.Pordenone – I have family there so it’s 5 nights takenVienna.Zurich.The road from Dijon to the outskirts of Paris, which we hope to drive.   I can make all the above work, but it’s a messy zig zag Como to Chur to Tirano to Venice, and I am not sur

hi, my girlfriend and I would like to go to Berlin and Stuttgart next week starting from Bologna.I saw on the site that by purchasing the one country pass for Germany (which we are interested in to travel around this country only) the route from Bologna to Berlin and return is included even though it starts from a second country, can anyone confirm?

I’m new to this so please forgive my lack of knowledge here. I’ll be traveling with two adults and four children from Paris to Barcelona in July. Would it be better to get a day or night train? Any idea when/where is the best time/place to book? Appreciate the help.

Hi all, just to check if it is possible to make reservation for couchette carriage for night train from Amsterdam to Basel for 2nd class global pass?  Thanks in advance.

Hello. Im looking to travel from Switzerland to Spain. Is there any route you recommend? Is possible to do that route or to difficult being my first time traveling by train in Europe. Im pretty new on this. Thanks! 

Hola a todos, quisiera saber si es posible hacer la reserva de asientos por medio de la app, sin activar el paquete que compre, por ejemplo el Glacier Express reservar hoy los asioentos pero  voy a viajar en abril.  Hay alguna manera de poder hacerlo? Gracias 

I am travelling to Europe for the first time, flying into Rome and home from London. I am considering a Eurail, first class, 10 day travel pass, valid for 2 months. The hope is to see Florence, Cinque Terre, Milan (also Lake Como) , Venice, Fiume Veneto (near Pordenone), Vienna, Prague, Munich, Zurich, Lyon, Paris and London.I started using the Eurail travel planner and found that it can’t find many of the places I want to go. I know that some of the lesser towns (e.g. Lake Como) will probably mean a separate bus trip or hire car. However I need to know where the main train lines run so I can make sure I can get to places I need to get to, or how close I can get them, especially Fiume Veneto where I have family. I thought Eurail was linked to all train lines in Europe, but I am worried that it may not be ideal for my needs.Also, I am unsure if I am better off booking every accommodation and every train trip before I leave home, or is it easy enough to book train travel and accommodatio

Hi - I would like to know the refund for the on-going promo. I’m planning to purchase the promo ticket (with insurance - 100% refundable) since I don’t have my Visa yet.  But there’s a note that you can refund as long as its 6 months before the last activation date (Jun 1, 2024). But the 6 months is in Dec 2023. Does it mean it’s not 100% refundable?  Thanks in advance!
