Funicular to Harder Kulm

To receive the 25% discount on the Funicular from Interlaken to Harder Kulm do you need to book using the Eurail app or just show them your Global pass? Also, in taking the 25% discount, does this count as a travel day?

How to make reservations for Spanish trains (i.e RENFE) as an international traveller?

I'm from Australia and planning a trip to Europe in July with 2 of my friends. We are planning to get a train from Barcelona to Valencia, and I was looking at the highspeed Euromed (RENFE) train as it is quick and supposedly scenic.However, I have found out that you cannot make reservations online, so I was wondering how I'm suppose to reserve a seat on this train? Obviously going into the office is not an option as I'm on the other side of the world, and doing it when I get to Europe would be too risky as these trains supposedly sell out fast.I have read that I could potentially call a Swiss ticket office, or that I could call RENFE? However I only speak English, would the phone operator even be an English speaker?I have seen that I can book online/on the RENFE app roughly 60 days in advance, but this is without Eurail discount. Is it worth just doing it like that, or is the discount substantial?Any help would be appreciated as a lot of this is foreign to me and has been a nightmare t

Train from Genova to Salerno

Hello everybody! I'm planning my first interrail trip and I AM SO EXCITED!! The only thing I'm worried about is that for the train I wanted to catch in Genova to Salerno (Amalfi Coast) it says its only available until August 4. So my question is: Does anyone know if there will be a different train (number) available for that route? So far I found the ICN 799, ICN 797 and the ICN 1963. But neither of them is shown August 22.. Any ideas?  Thank you :)

Malaga to Paris; trying to include an overnight journey.

Planning a train journey from Malaga to Paris for 26th May and am trying to include a night journey so I can arrive in Paris in before noon if possible… But no matter how I slice/dice it, cannot  find a suitable night journey component to include. I have a Global Eurail Pass and would not mind using extra travel days or even a detour (Nice-Ville??) if necessary… Can someone experienced on this route share any suggestions? I have downloaded the Renfe app too, by the way... but can't put a night jet route in it. Regards,

What is the discount on Swiss ferry CGN?

I have read on several websites (and the Interrail website) that there is a discount with Interrail/ Eurail on various ferry routes in Switzerland.I am interested in CGN ferries from Lausanne to France. There is no mention on the CGN website of an Interrail discount. Does anyone know if there is?

NIghtjet booking options, Basel to Bremen?

HI!I am trying to book a Nightjet from Basel to Bremen and would like a cabin or two as traveling with 5 people. I am going through Eurail’s easy system, but it only shows me “2nd class — Pass - Berth 6 persons” or 2nd class seats as options. I believe there are different cabin types and wondered if anyone had any advice for me on how to find those and book the right one? Thanks much!

How would it work if the country of residence, like the Netherlands, has electronic gates when you exit the station and return later to catch the next train?

It is stated on the web that the global pass can be used to travel in one’s country of residence during 1 outbound and 1 inbound trip per travel day. I have some questions about the technicality. The “Travel Diary” example lists “Brighton-London St Pan” as an example for the in/outbounds. This is strange in itself, since they are both in the same country, UK/England. In the case someone wants to travel from Station A1 to Station B, via Station A2 in the same country as Station A1, and it is the country of residence → Does he/she have to write A1 - A2 then A2-B separately in the “My Trip” section, or just “A1 - B”? Can the holder exit station A2 in the process and return later to catch the next train to Station B? If the answer is yes, how it would work if the country of residence, like the Netherlands, has electronic gates? Will exiting Station A2 accidentally be counted as doing a trip inside one’s country of residence and thus violating the rules?

definition of month

This may seem very simple but can someone confirm what is meant by the phrasing:Global Pass7 days within 1 monthDoes this mean literally in one month, like June or July, or is it 30 days from the first date of use? My daughter and I will be traveling from June 28-July 9 and I want to make sure if I buy the global pass that we’d be OK to use it in both June and July.Thanks in advance! Lenna Applebee

Eurostar reservation without pass yet

I know you need a purchased pass to make a reservation for Eurostar- but can one pass be used to book two seats?I have a pass already. A friend is buying one (paper pass so delay to get delivered). There are still seats now on the Eurostar train we want, so I am wondering if there is any way to buy two seats with my pass, but for different names, using either the Eurail/interrail booking system or b-europe?

Global Pass Travel Days Question

I have the 4 day Eurail Global Pass. I was wondering what a travel day is considered. For example, is it unlimited 1 travel day the day of April 25th or is it unlimited travel from the time you use the global pass like if I use it at 12pm on the 2nd of May then I can use it before 12pm on May 3rd and that would be considered 1 travel day?

Reservations in France - sit together with different passes

Hi! I have a question about booking seats together when we have different passes. My friend has 7 days in 1 month, I want to buy 10 days in 2 months. We will travel separately for a few days, but then together in France and the Netherlands, where we need reservations. How do we get those reservations to be next to each other? Thanks!
