To ask all about our Passes, reservations & more

For some routes, an additional seat reservation is required. Seat reservations are not included in your Eurail or Interrail Pass, but for a fee they guarantee you a comfy seat on busy routes across Europe. On most high-speed trains and all night trains, seat reservations are mandatory. For a fun set of instructions, check out our Instagram highlight, here. You can book most of your reservations through our Reservation Service. Visit this page for detailed and up to date information on how to book seat reservations per country. Another option is to book seat reservations directly with the rail carrier. Our community put together this handy guide on how to do that, here. Feel free to ask questions, but please be sure to start a new topic first.
Hi , I am planning to go interrailing for three months between march and june. I am still contemplating whether to get a suitcase or a backpack. What is the best option (for three months)? Thank you so much, David
Hey Eurail/Interrail Community,We have an exciting topic to discuss today: getting more people on trains instead of planes!🚆✈️ With all the talk about sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint, we know that trains can be a fantastic alternative to air travel. But how do we encourage more people to make the switch? Do you think partnerships between airlines and Eurail could be a nice benefit for our customers? And also, can it help promote rail to a new audience? Tell us your opinion in the comments 👇 Cheers,Eurail Community Moderator
What is a Eurail/ Interrail Pass?The Eurail and Interrail Pass is a single train pass that lets you travel as much as you want on participating European train networks for a set amount of travel days. There are different validities you can choose from, ranging from just 4 travel days up to a maximum of 3 months. You can travel with a Eurail Global Pass / Interrail Global Pass, which is valid in 33 European countries, or pick one of the Eurail One Country Passes / Interrail One Country Passes. The majority of our Passes, including the Eurail Global Pass, are now also available as a mobile Pass. Eurail Passes can only be used by non-European citizens or non-European residents. European citizens can use an Interrail Pass instead. Do I need a Eurail or Interrail Pass? A Eurail Pass can only be used by non-European citizens or non-European residents. European citizens can use an Interrail Pass instead, available from Interrail.eu for the same price as a Eurail Pass. If you are not a Europe

I can’t proceed to checkout regarding buying the 50% continuous pass and I’m worried that the sale will end before I can buy my pass. Can anybody help me why this is going on?
Please read first and if you still have questions start a own topic to keep this post as Informationpost as clean as possible. This post is made by @rvdborgt @AnnaB@runner.on.rails @Angelo and myself. Planning/Timetables:Many of you will notice that the Railplanner of Eurail will have sometimes different times of the trains as other Websites/Apps. Or evenworse the railplanner wont show any train for your desired Route. The Railplanner of Eurail only shows the timetables that are shared by the Railcompanies unfortunately not all Railcompanies share these and even update it not frequently. The Result is that the Railplanner of Eurail is not always uptodate and because ofthat I and other experienced travelers recommend to use the Local Websites and Apps to check the times and even book the reservations with them (when possible).Below here finally the main words :D Hi if you are useing a Railpass there will be the point that a train needs a Reservation 🙂 Many of you ask where to get a r
Hello everyone, my husband and I are doing a 3-month trip in Europe in April. Recently we tried to get our trip planned and have all the train rides booked and accommodations booked and confirmed. We bought the 1st class Eurail Global Pass continuous pass for 3 month. However, after I activated our passes, I saved some trips to our passes and turned on the button of one of the trips, and I went to “My Pass” section, clicked “show tickets”, I could see the ticket with a QR code, but couldn’t see any button for the payment options for the seat reservation fee. (it does show “seat reservations required with orange colour under the Journeys)Could anyone please advise me how to pay the seat reservation fee on the app to secure the seat as we need to book our accommodations based on the train times. Thank you in advance :)
We are travelling to Europe in August and I am having trouble paying online for my passes. I have called my credit card issuer and they said everything is fine and that I haven’t put through an attempt on their end. I don’t understand. Anyone have similar problems?

Hiya, we are planning to take the night jet from Venice to Munich on 31st May. I tried to book on Oebb but all the fare showing tickets not available. (I have tested with several dates) I also tried to book on Eurail reservations, there was no option of booking seats reservations either. Does the Venice to Munich nightjet open to Eurail pass holders? Thank you 🙂
Hello,Last week i started my interrail trip from Vienna - city of residence - to Stuttgart. I was using one of my inbounds/outbounds and everything was fine so far. Today I tried to book my trains to France and realized that the country of residence, mentioned on my pass is Germany - maybe cause I have German id, but just living here for summer -. Is there any chance to change the county of residence after already activating the pass? Would be really helpful cause I planned Germany as the spot where I will start all my travels.thanks
Hi everyone, I want to book a nighttrain between Stockholm and Hamburg. According to the Interrail’s planner, it should be possible (from 39€) but after buying my pass, it seems that there is no day where it is available (always “Seat reservations required from NA”). I try on sj.se too but even when there are some place available, there is no discount with the Interrail pass. Does anyone know how it is possible to book these trains (my pass is useless otherwise) ? Thanks in advance
