France June 15-30

I am a first time Eurail rider. I am looking to go from Paris to Zurich in mid to late June and nothing is available. Is there some kind of event or shutdown going on during this period? The train scheduler wants to send me north to Brussels then across to Germany and down to Zurich, it is like an extra 4 hours.

DO NO USE Eurail. HORRIBLE COMPANY

THIS COMPANY IS HORRIBLE.Passes were bought erroneously on my credit card. I contacted this HORRIBLE company within minutes to get it refunded. AND THEY REFUSE to give me a full refund.Not only will they STEAL from you. They will explain to you that their website is made so poorly that you cant even tell if you can get a seat on a train before you buy a pass. So you buy the pass only to find out it wont work for ANY train you need. DO NO, I REPEAT, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I’VE EVER DEALT WITH.

UK and Ireland Transportation Method

Hello from the USA! 3 of us are traveling to the UK and Ireland in June for 17 days. Wondering what others think the best means of transportation for the entire trip would be? It looks like one of the variations of the Eurorail pass might be best but I’m having a hard time understanding the speed trains and if that’s a thing inside of one country - or do they only go across borders? I don’t want to spend so much time on the trains! Also - will the Eurorail pass take us from England over to Ireland? Thank you so much to all!

Mannheim to Caen, Eurail Global Pass, on Friday in May??? Never Traveled By Train before.

Hello, I’ve been reading Travel Books, Travel Websites and oh so many questions and answers about Train Travel in France, especially Paris St Lazare these past few weeks and I’m not getting a warm fuzzy feeling about this ;-) I have never traveled by train before, so it is all new to me.Briefly, Land in Amsterdam, train to Cologne, train to Mannheim, train to Paris est, Taxi to St Lazare, train to Caen. Mannheim to Caen is on a Friday in May 2024.Following Friday in May, Train from Caen to Munich via St Lazare, Paris est, Stuttgart, then Munich.CONCERNS: Books/Websites say to Book Trains and Seat Reservations early. 60-90 days early if possible, especially if traveling on Fridays, Busy Months Like May, Using Eurail passes because seats sell out faster and there is a limit on how many Eurail Passes that will be allowed on trains. Oh, I almost forgot, this 2024 is the 80th Anniversary for D-Day and I will be in Normandy a few weeks before June 6th.GREATEST CONCERN; Not getti

Interrailing with a Bicycle

Hi everyone, extremely knew to the concept of interrailing, heard of it but never considered it a viable option. My intention would be to travel with my bike in tow, it’s only a small BMX bike. i’ve seen in the FAQ’s that it is at the discretion of the rail companies as to whether they alllow travel with bikes, but was curious to ask in here if anyone had any first hand experience? i assume travelling with a bicycle ain’t hugely unusual and i am hopeful i will be able to make it work on my travels this summer. Thanks in advance,Chaz

Start : Igoumenista

Hi!I’m going to take a ferry to Igoumenista next week. Then I want to explore Greece, does anybody have done that? I know there is no train station in the area, but there is a lot of buses, so maybe I can travel by bus for the beginning.

Rail trip to Venice

I’m planning a trip to Venice in March and I’d like to travel by train rather than fly, I’m thinking of taking three days on the trip with two overnight stays. I’d like to incorporate the Bernina Express in the trip too. I’m not a seasoned rail traveller so I’d be grateful for any tips on the practicalities of using interrail for such a trip.

Clueless on this Process

My husband and I are from the US. In the US….train usage isn’t something we do. As a result, I an clueless on how to make a booking. I am entering our travel cities and nothing generates. We are needing the train for two trips.From Dublin Airport area to York UK. Our flight lands at 5am. In a perfect world, it is no fun hanging out in an airport for hours after an international flight lands. We would like to be on a train heading to York by 8am. I am simply attempting to find information on this path to see what I will have to book closer to our actual arrival. Nothing is generating. From York UK to Edinburgh, Scotland. Departure time 12 noon or earlier. We need to be in Edinburgh by 3pm. Can anyone please help me figure out the trains we will have to take? Also, is it more cost effective to purchase one of the offered Euro Passes?Thanks

Monterosso to Milan April

The Monterosso to Milan scheduler at trentitaiia for the day I want to travel (April 19) says “Sold out seats on train 670. Solution cannot be purchased”. I understand that’s a poor translation that really means the schedule hasn’t been made available yet and bookings are only available till Feb 18 or so . The first puzzle is, how do I know when the seats are truly sold out and when they’re just not available? Theoretically I could be waiting months, checking every week only to eventually find I actually did miss the booking window and the seats are really sold out. Therefore, to try to see what might become available I have tried to use a Friday in Feb to see what might eventually become available. Following is the result. I am 66, my wife is 64 and we have a Eurail 1st class pass. Would I be correct in following the process to book the Economy 1st class, which theoretically gives me the option to change my booking date/time if necessary?

Night train

Hi, another question on night trains :)We’re looking to go from Lak Bled to Split & the connection has a night train from Dobova to Split & when I look to reserve - I get this message Can’t find more information below on the Interrail site, but if I go on to the Nightjet website it seems I am able to book 2 couchettes in a 4 or 6 berth carriage. Does that sound reasonable? Does to me but then I’ve read elsewhere about not being to book couchettes mid journey / late in the night, so just wanted to check. TIA

Understanding Euro rail

Hello! My husband and I will be travelling to Italy next year and we only have about 13 days and I would like to visit the following places: Milan for 2 days (The city we will fly in and out of), Venice- for 3 nights, Florence - 1 night, Rome - 2 nights, Naples - 4 nights and then back to Milan.I’m very overwhelmed with the Euro train system as we don't have anything like this where I’m from. Is there anyone who can advise what type of pass I will need (I would like to take advantage of the high-speed trains to have more time in each location), how to reserve and any other helpful tips. Do you have any other suggestions that might make this trip more relaxing or better via travel? I’m open to ideas, I just heard that Europe has a fantastic public transit system. First time in Europe and I really want to make the most of it! Thank you !!

Trip to Sweden with Night Train and Global Pass

Dear Community, We have planned a trip from Germany, Berlin to Sweden, Stockholm by night train and I am wondering if I have understood everything correctly. I have bought a four-day Global Pass and plan to start in Essen and take the ICE to Berlin. Can I use public transport in Essen to get to the main station?As I understand it, I need a full day's travel to get from Essen to Berlin to catch the night train, as we leave before midnight.But I need two days for the return journey, because a new day starts when we arrive in Berlin. Is it allowed to use another day to travel home the rest of the day (as we will not be crossing another border)? Finally, if we stay in Sweden, can we use a Global Pass day to visit another city in Sweden by train? Or do we have to cross a border?And do you have any tips to keep in mind?Thanks in advance.Regards Silvia
