Family friendly route

Hi,Complete newbie but love travelling by rail within the UK and have partially used rail in Hungary and soon the Netherlands (next week). As opposed to a package holiday as a lone parent I am looking into potentially travelling Europe using a 10 day pass starting in London. Any suggestions of a family friendly route was thinking possibly towards Germany and Eastern/central Europe. Loved Hungary! How do reservations work. for instance I assume I would get the Eurostar initially to either France, the Netherlands, or Belgium. Does the Eurostar require a reservations? Will mainland Europe trips require a reservation? I could potentially start and end from low air fare places such as Eindhoven in the Netherlands and Budapest too. Sorry so many questions, Thank you!

Train from Paris to Belgium

Hi there! Can you please help me... I purchased a Eurail for my Euro trip next week. I land in Paris and then need to get to Leuven, Belgium. However, I see that CDG is not part of the Eurail pass? If this is the case and I need to use my pass from the city centre, I see that I need to reserve a ticket (and pay) to get to Brussels. However, what happens if my flight is delayed and I miss the train that I have reserved?

Advice for 2023 Interrail Route

Hi all,I thought I’d share my prospective interrail plan to get a better understanding of everything, as it is my first time travelling and I hope that I can get some advice or recommendations on the regions and cities I am visiting. (for context, I am 22 years old, travelling with another person, want to use hostels and trains as much as possible and lastly I have the 2 month global pass)I start at Edinburgh, then to London for the Eurostar to Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Bratislava, Vienna, Budapest, Bucharest, Varna, Sofia, Belgrade, Sarajevo, Mostar, Split, Zagreb, Ljubljana, Munich, then the Golden Pass in Switzerland. I may want to go further but that depends on money etc.I’d like as much advice and opinion on these areas as possible - it keeps my wanderlust fuelled during the dark cold months of the Scottish winter.Thanks! 😁

Suggestions itinerary

Hey all! In the beginning of January I am going on my first interrail trip together with a friend. We have a month pass with unlimited travel days, but only managed to get days off for two weeks. We notice we want too much for the time we have and would love to have some suggestions/opinions on places we could skip or places we should see instead. Also we don't know yet how we could round off our trip back to Rotterdam from Prague. We now picked Leipzig and then ?Also, are there any places we could better visit in a different order because there are better (night)connections? Thanks a lot!

HiiI will interrail in 2023 in UK and Ireland. I would have time for two months but I don’t know if it’s worth spending the whole two months there? I have no planned route and however I’d like to hike some days in the scottish highlands. Would you recommend buying the one or two months pass? Or have some must-sees in the region? Thanks for the help!

Train routes in the Balkans

Hi, I have a few questions on train links in the Balkans that information online continues to give me contradicting advice so I will list all of my questions here to try and sort it outIs there a functioning direct night train from Budapest to Bucharest - some sites say yes and other say no Is there a functioning direct train from Bucharest to Sofia - if not, what is advised to do in order to reach Sofia Is there a route from Sofia to Thessaloniki (for context I am travelling in Summer) Is there a train line connecting Serbia and Bosnia Should I generally just skip Serbia and Bosnia as they are too cumbersome to travel with train? If in Sofia, what is the best way to reach Croatia?Thanks!

only limited stations

I’m tryiung to fill out my itinerary. Only very few cities are listed. When I type in the names of those I want, they aren’t featured. Is interrail only for a small number of cities, or is there a way to use the whole rail network? Thanks

Recommendations for December Journey

Hello! I have some time from December 3 to 10/11 to plan a trip but I am not quite sure how or where to go. I need to be back in Seville, Spain by December 11th. What is the best path to take to maximize my time and enjoy each of the city. I know there is 4 travel days with the 185 euro pass but I do not think there is a direct or fast way to get back to Seville so I may need to book a flight. At the moment, I have no big intentions - explore cities, get to know people (kind of hard as an introvert but willing to push myself out of the comfort zone), and explore different cultures. I know English and Spanish so I do want to stick to big cities where English is somewhat known. It is my first trip like this so definitely a bit scared. At the moment, I was thinking of starting in Paris (stay 2 nights). Paris to Amsterdam (but maybe not stay in Amsterdam) then Amsterdam to Berlin (stay in Berlin for a day or two), Berlin to Prague (stay in Prague for 2 nights), then Prague to Vienna (stay

Travelling with a Global Pass and One Country Pass

Hey! So my name is Katherine and I planned to start my journey at the end of January. I won a Global pass last year and my question is, if it is possible for me to buy an one country pass extra for traveling in Italy whilst using my actual pass for the other countries because I planned my most stops in Italy.

Switzerland January 2023

We are travelling by train all over Switzerland in early January 2023. Mainly on the scenic routes. Will we need to reserve a seat at this time of year or can we jump on the train without reserving a seat? Thanks.

Why such a strange route for Brussels to Hamburg?

Hi there, I’m planning ahead for a trip from London to Hamburg next summer and would like to travel Brussels-Cologne-Hamburg. When looking at potential routes (via the Interrail seat reservation tool), it only shows the route Brussels-Amsterdam-Duisberg-Hamburg, even for trips this month. That seems like a long way around with some very tight connections. Anyone know why that is? How will I be able to reserve seats on the route I want to use?Thank you very much. A

Best way to travel from Pula to Trieste (or anywhere in Italy)

We’ll be touring Southern Europe this upcoming summer, and one of the ‘hops’ is from Pula, Croatia into Italy.I’ve noticed there is (a rather costly, but effective) bus transportation from Pula, Croatia to Trieste, Italy (2 hours), but the train journey via Eurail seems much more complicated (several hops, 6 hours, etc).Is there an effective (short, less than 4 hours) way to get from Pula, Croatia to anywhere in Italy with the Eurail pass?Thank you so much in advance.
