Get ready to travel

Hello,At the moment i'm planning my interrail journey for the summer and i want to take the European Sleeper from Amsterdam to Prague, I saw that it soon come into use. But I can't find anywhere how much it costs with a interrail pass, for example a couchette. The only price i can find is on the European Sleeper site itself and the it's €89. But i was hoping that it would be cheaper with an interrail pas ;)) Can someone maybe help me with this? Kind regards,Teun

Hi there, My partner and I are travelling around Europe. We are both currently living in the UK but are from NZ. I have a UK passport but she does not - do we need to buy separate passes to travel on the rail lines? I.e. do I need to get an Interrail pass and she gets a Eurail pass? Thanks

Hi all, so I've just bought our global Eurail pass and then booked our seats on the Eurostar for early September, London to Amsterdam via b-europe site, but can't work out how to get the booking details on my rail planner, as it doesn't automatically link up, so won't use a travel day. Does this matter? Thanks for any help understanding this 🙏 

Hi   Planning a 3 week trip from Zurich to Milan to Florence to Nice and back to Zurich. While in Milan, will take trip to Conque Terra, Mont Blan, Lake Garda. Are all these routes covered via EURail pass? Are there daily trains. Ethernet these routes?  Want to confirm before buying the pass. Thanks for your help 

Hi, we’re new to Interailing but are planning a trip across the Netherlands. Germany, Switzerland and France then back to the UK (via Eurostar) in August.ive tried to use the route planner on the website but it doesn’t seem to have smaller rail stations in the database.  Can  please check if the pass can be used within all of countries listed above please, on trains between cities of various sizes, not just major cities?  Thanks

Hi there!My family and I are travelling from La ciotat to the UK (Stroud) on 2nd June.There’s a 9.55 from La Ciotat to Marseille but that leaves just a 17 min transfer time for the Paris train from Marseille. Is this too short a transfer time? Thank you for any guidance.   

It is too early for me to book a seat as they are not available for July yet, but I have been looking to get an indication of price for budgeting.I am using 2x Adult and 1xChild (9) 1st Class Passes. If I try to book a seat reservation it only offers me 2nd class, if I remove the child then 1st is offered. Should I make 3 adult seat reservations as my passes are all 1st Class? 

Dear Interrail-Passengers!There are wrong informations in the Interrail App which should be improved as soon as quicky.1: The ICE 105 from Amsterdam to Karlsruhe Hbf will drive at Sunday 25 February and over Utrecht, Arnhem Emmerich(Gr), Oberhausen and so further.2: Interrail is only subject to reservation in the period from June until August (exact days for this year are unknown by me).Hopefully interrail could approve this before 25 February.Ragards,David

I land in Frankfurt. I eventually go on a river/bike cruise on Danube River from Passau. Can Global pass be used to get from Frankfurt to Passau?

Hi,I am planning to leave Nice on Many 27 and arrive in Barcelona on the 28. Is there an overnight train from Nice to Barcelona? 

I’m trying to book the night train from Rome to Munich for 11 April. My wife and 2 children are travelling so would like a 4 berth cabin for us. I have tried to book through the Interrail website as well as using int.bahn.de, obb.de, trenitalia.com but for vague reasons all have said I can’t make the booking. I have tried to call bahn.de on +49 (0) 30 2970 and +49 (0) 30 311-682904 but constantly.get messages that the service is busy.Any suggestions from people who have managed to make this booking would be gratefully received. 

Hi, I would like to go on holiday to Bolzano (Italy). I would buy an Interrail global pass because it is cheaper than a regular ticket. I start my journey from Antwerp.Antwerp → Brussels → Frankfurt → München → Bolzano.I have some questions:I should take 4 trains on 1 day to get to Bolzano. Can I travel with an Interrail global pass? Is it correct that I have to pay extra for the train between Munchen -> Bolzano? Is that the only additional amount that I have to pay?

Hi, I’m intending to buy two Mobile Passes in the Spring Promo to be used in July. I’ve read that there is a requirement to connect the App to the internet every three days to ensure the Passes remains usable. I’m assuming that this only has to be done once I activate the Passes and want to start using them and not during the four months between buying them and starting to use them. I’d be grateful if anyone could let me know if this is correct please.

Hello,I am planning a family vacation in July 2024. I purchased 5 Day 1 Month Global Pass for me and my family.  I was able to reserve seats for us to go from London to Paris but when I go into Seat Reservations and attempt to reserve seats from Milan Italy to Florence and other trips from one Italian city to another for middle of July (still within the 1 month timeframe of my first planned train ride from London to Paris), I get an error message “We can't find any trains that match your search. Please change your search and try again.”  I have tried multiple cities, times, stations, and I continue to get the error when going through Seat Reservations.  I know trains are running because I can go onto other sites and see them available.  I am willing to pay for the seat reservations.  Am I doing something wrong? Am I able to purchase seat reservations before my passes are activated for July (I was able to with London to Paris)?  Is there an issue getting seats reserved for cit

Hi,I’m thinking of buying a 4 day Global pass:Day one I will travel from my local station to Birmingham New Street, then to London Euston, then to the Eurostar to Brussels then Change to Düsseldorf.Day Two and three I will just explore Germany using the ICE and regional trains. Then Day Four, I will take the exact same journey as I did on Day one back to the UK.Will travelling on the S-Bahn and RegionalBahn take away one of my travel days meaning I will have to buy a 5 Day pass or not? 

My girlfriend and I are planning an Interrail trip to the UK this summer. We would like to take the Eurostar from Paris to London on 28 June. We have not yet bought an Interrail pass as we are still hoping for a discount. So we have not yet been able to book seats on the Eurostar.Now we are not sure how long we can wait, i.e. how quickly do Eurostar seats usually sell out? I am happy to hear any tips and experiences :)

I brought my first ticket for Aug 1st through rail europe. I indicated my global pass number during the checkout. I am trying to add that to my trip in Rail Planner app. I added the journey, added to my pass and activated it. Everything looked good and I was able to view my ticket (QR code) which I believe is what I need to scan/show. But after a while I checked again any my journey is gone from the app. What am I doing wrong? Or is this a known app issue? I got email from rail Europe with pdf tickets attached. Can I take a print out if it just to be safe? It has QR code too.Thank you.

I’m new to Eurail. I’m looking at the pass that allows 7 days travel in a month. As I understand it, you create a journey (which may be a number of train connections and train changes) save it to your trip and then create a ticket for the day.  What happens if you miss a train during the day - say for example, you are not familiar with the station and fail to get to the next train in time? What do you do? Is your ticket for the day valid for another train? Do you need to create a new journey for the day? Assuming no reservations are needed.

We want to make a 1st class seat reservation for EC163 (Zurich 8h40- Innsbruck 12h11) to see the views in the panorama carriage, but we only have 2nd class passes. In the Interrail.eu website, it only appears the option “Seat 2nd class“ but in the OBB wesite it seems to have a choice, as shown in the image below:Is it possible? 

Travelling from Nice to Avignon to Annecy and then Paris is it worth buying a rail pass ? And if you buy it do you have to pay extra for the train ticket 

We are plannig a trip from Germany (Hannover) to Spain (Malaga). On the Route that we wish to take there is one stopover which does not leave much time to change trains. As we are aware that the German trains are often late we are worried about making our connecting train that requires a reservation. Is it possable (and meaningful) to buy reservations for the following train as well as the train that we are hoping to take?Thank you in advance.

I am aware that as recently as 2 months ago, the Eurail pass did not work for trains from Interlaken Ost to Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald and above._________________________________Has there been any RECENT CHANGE to this policy so that the Eurail pass can be used for these trains ?Same question for Aerial tramways?

Two people traveling together for the first time using Eurail Passes on each of their smart phones.Note: we are new to these passes.  Hence, this may be a “dumb” question, but here goes:Is it better to purchase a 2-person pass; or two, separate, 1-person passes?There is no cost difference.

Next Summer we will be first-time users of the Eurail Pass. We are not familiar with past practices with this pass.  We are seeing notices for a 15% discount offer (20-Feb thru 2-March) from several online sources including https://www.eurail.com/en/eurail-passes/global-pass.Questions:  Is there any reason NOT to purchase this pass now verses later in promotional period (high the discount get better)?   Based on experiences from prior years, are better offers likely before summer or is this the best we should expect?

This summer (end of July to the start of August) I will travel from Denmark to the Pyrenees to hike for 1 or 2 weeks. I will buy an interrail pass for the journey.I will buy reservations for the outbound journey. (If all goes well I will be able to do this part of the journey in just 1 travel day - this includes 2 night trains)But since I don't know when I will finish my hike, I can't buy reservations for the home journey in advance.Most trains in France requires a reservation. The only exception is the regional TER-trains. But they are slow. And I am not sure how comfortable they are on a long journey.What my chances of buying a reservation for a French long distance train in the start of August with just a few days notice in the start of August?My home journey starts in Toulouse.I know that some French trains only has limited interrail reservations. I guess they will be sold out. But what about the trains that are not marked a
