Travelling on trains that do not require reservations

Hey I have a question. When I travel on trains where reservations are not obligatory, do I just have to get on and show the Interrail ticket on my mobile phone? Or do I have to buy a 0 Euro ticket somehow beforehand?

Are sleeper cars worth the extra cost

I have only taken an overnight train from Budapest to Belgrade and for me...well we didn’t opt for a sleeper cabin and I barely got any sleep...nothing like travelling through the night with one eye open, especially at a border checkpoint (when you have never encountered) that process before.  Curious what travellers thoughts are.

The possibility of the rails by Paul ScratonArticle

On a hot summer day in 1999, I stood inside the main hall of Zürich Hauptbahnhof and looked at the list of departures for our train, the 09:33 to Prague. It was a journey that would take us all of the day, crossing four international borders as we went. To a child of an island there was something thrilling about this. To be able to catch a train and cross whole countries. To get on board in a city where they spoke one language, and climb down onto the platform in a place where they spoke another. I was twenty years old. I had two friends with me. We had one mobile phone between us and I had just registered for my very first email account. In the top of my rucksack I carried the Thomas Cook European Rail Timetable. We had our Interrail tickets. We were ready to go.Read full article
