Routes & destinations

My favorite trip is and honeymoon through the Europe, from Milan to Bodo! Exciting!

My favourite slow travel route is a journey through Europe from Scandinavia down to Southern Europe. Starting in cities like Stockholm and travelling all the way to Rome and Madrid. I love this route because you experience so many cultures, landscapes and atmospheres in one trip — from calm Nordic nature to vibrant southern cities. Even though it covers a lot, the train makes it feel relaxed and intentional, letting you enjoy the journey instead of rushing. 🚆✨

I was suppose to do a big train trip through Europe in 2025, but life led me somewhere, i would love to offer myself and one of my best friend the trip we had to do. France, Autria, Croatia, poland, Belgium.

Lovely trip, can definitely recommend!!

Arlbergline definitely. Getting to go on train ride that high up in the mountains is a dream come true! Especially with all the beautiful scenery and interesting bridges.

Two years ago, I went to this Interrail experience for 2 weeks with my 3 best friends. I was really amazed by the route from Vienna to Venecia. We had very beautiful views to the Alps and some lakes.

My favorite train ride was from Milano to Bern.For whoever hasn’t done it I CANNOT recommend it enough. The scenery of the North Italy and Switzerland is unique and breathtaking. I’d love to explore it more in depth.

Hi!I'm planning a trip to Wales in early May. We'll stay in Chester and Bangor and hope to explore some nice places around and in these cities.Are there any people who have been here, or maybe live here? What are some nice places to see and visit, where to get coffee / dinner etc?Thank you so much!

Hallo, ​@Franzi_006 Dachte mir das ich die Tipps auch für andere sichtbar Teile. Prag:großes Flugzeugmuseum mit freiem Eintritt https://www.vhu.cz/en/the-aviation-museum-kbely/  In der Nähe(10min zu Fuß) vom Hauptbahnhof gibt es auch ein Militärmuseum mit freiem Eintritt Prag hat viele schöne Parks wo man langlaufen kann. Am Bahnhof gibt es eine Gepäckaufbewahrung die erheblich günstiger(ca 3€ oder so) ist als die Schließfächer dort.Zürich:Hat auch ein paar Museen mit freiem Eintritt ( z.Bsp das Naturkundemuseum) Je nachdem was für eine Tagesfahrkarte man sich für die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel holt kann man auch eine kleine Bootstour damit machen. (Entweder auf dem See, hier aber auf die Zonen achten oder auf dem Fluss)

Ciao,qualcuno ha già provato questo giro da milano passando da Parigi Londra e Scozia in 15 giorni ?Dopo Londra che tappe/Città sono più belle da visitare e fermarsi?…. Vale la pena fare una traghettata fino a Dublino Sicuramente volevamo provare il Calendonian Sleppers e poi non sappiamoGrazie mille!

Hi everyone!In a few days I would like to cross the border between Sweden and Finland through Haparanda-Tornio. I have read on the Interrail website that this cannot be done by train therefore there is a bus connection included in the pass. I don't know if this is due to covid but it seems there is no bus crossing the border for the moment.On Maps it seems like the distance between Haparanda and Tornio train stations is about 1 hour walking distance. I don't mind doing that but I would like to be sure it is possible and my only option to join Finland up north.Has anyone done that recently and could help? :)Thanks in advance!Laura

Hey everyone,I’m Elizabeth (19) and I am going to Switzerland for two weeks. And I would really appreciate some help. Maybe some general tips, fun places I must see, travel tips or ways to use my interrail/discoverEU pass as best as possible. I’m also trying to keep it a little budget friendly and see a lot of nature. These are the places I’m visiting: Geneva, Montreux, Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen, Flims (Caumasee), Schaffhausen, Neuchâtel and area, and some stops in between. So if you’re Swiss or you have been there often or are planning to go. Any advise or tips are welcome. Thank you!-Elizabeth

I have mostly avoided travelling through france and spain because of all the mandatory reservations, but at some point it makes sense to also visit spain and portugal atleast once despite the annoying reservations. (I am considering doing it this year if i dont find someone to travel another route together)Starting in Germany(direct ICE to Paris) or Switzerland i plan to travel via France and Spain to Portugal and then back to Paris (maybe travelling to the uk before returning, so i have atleast one country that has easy travel with an interrail pass).Whats the best way to get to portugal and back with some interesting stops in Spain, without spending so much on mandatory reservations. Especially the reservation for international trains seem quite expensive.(France to spain) And spanish trains seem hard to reserve (online) without paying booking fees on top of the reservation cost. I dont necessarily need the fastest route. ( I am crazy enough to do Zürich to Siracusa

hi everyone, i’m thinking about planning my interrail for one mounth, i wanted to usk u goys if u have ay suggestion on a itinerary: starting from the noth of Italy (where i live) i wanted to visit berlin but i need to finish my trip in spain becouse i will go to a festival there. 

Part 1: The hard-core rail enthusiast trip South to North 2024Today’s rail connections between Vienna and Trieste The usual connection now leads to Villach, into Italy at Tarvisio and further on to Udine, where during the last years one had to change to a local train to Trieste. Since the opening of the Koralm tunnel in December 2025 a daily direct railjet service is operated by ÖBB. Additional connections require still changing trains in Udine.Historically the first railway line between Vienna and Trieste, the main seaport of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, was the line of the k.k. priv. Südbahn-Gesellschaft (Imperial-Royal privileged Southern Railway Company) via Ljubljana which had lost its importance for through passenger traffic between Vienna and Trieste after the end of the empire. An attempt to revive through passenger traffic was made in 1962 by a direct train but cancelled one year later due to low usage. Since 2021 three coach

Hello,I am looking for interesting hikes that can be done in a day. (arround 6-18km) (not routes over multiple days)Does anyone have some good suggestions for Slovenia, italy and Sicily. Also looking for Austria, but i already managed to find some suggestions for Austria. For Switzerland Germany i already did a few shorter hikes. As especially for Switzerland it is easy to find good suggestions online. I previously created a short post highlighting some of them  I am also open for suggestions in other countries that might be worth a visit. 

Hi all, I’m just entering my planned excursion.The very first thing I put in my trip plan is a train from Tiverton in Devon to London St Pancras Int.Even though I know that there’s a train at 21.11 that gets in at 00.39 the trip planner on both the App & website sends me on a 22hr trip including going to the Netherlands to get a ferry back!!!!How do I get it to register the train that I actually want to take.Can I use my pass to book it away from the site?Cheers for any help

I have never had a Eurail pass so this will be a first for me.I’m now in my 70s , reasonably fit and up for an adventure.I have traveled quite widely in the world but somehow eastern Europe has eluded me and I think it’s time I had a look.Browsing an old map of Europe this morning I notice how many borders have shifted over the years and it looks as though I can’t visit Odessa now, and I can’t go back to Tehran !I’ve given myself 2 weeks, travelling aloneBut there is a bucket list of names I would love to see and not having had a “PASS” before I’d like the communities views on how best to go about it.So here goes, in no particular order my bucket list of place I’d like to see before I die, you may feel some are not good choices and that there are those that I’ve missed.I know of course my list is far too ambitious within my time frame so hep me to edit it, and of course the best route to help me realise it.The Bucket List (in n

Hello. It’s the first time I visit Switzerland so I would like to know if the journey geneve- zurik is to long.

Hi,I read on a blog that tram and bus transport on Switzerland is free via your hotel if you make them aware you have Eurail pass. I cannot find solid proof of that , and if it is all hotels - could anyone who's done such a thing confirm please? Is it only certain hotels , or are there various ways to get free or reduced public transport (other than the trains of course)Thanks

​@Eurail Community Moderator There are only 2 good connections between Trieste and Ljubljana, with a change in Villa Opicina, so it's important that people can find them. Previously, not all trains were entirely in the timetable/MERITS, but now they are.However, the evening journey with departure at 19:07 from Trieste, is not shown, although there's a direct connection in Villa Opicina (arr. 19:37, dep. 19:45). Maybe the planner thinks that's too short, but Villa Opicina is a very small station, 8 minutes is plenty of time to change, and the only reason for the 19:45 departure is to connect with the train from Trieste.The planner lets you hang around in Villach instead:The train to Villa Opicina is in the planner though:

Hello. Can anyone please advise on the best things to do in San Sebastian? We arriving from Bilbao today and tomorrow taking the domestic train to Hendaye, France.

Hi everyone,Three friends and I are planning to do an Interrail trip this August and we’re thinking about buying the Interrail Global Pass (10 travel days within 2 months, 2nd class). We’d like some advice on whether our route sounds realistic and well planned.Our idea is to fly from Spain to Paris and then travel by train to Amsterdam, Berlin, Wroclaw, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava. From Bratislava we would fly back to Spain, as flights from there seem to be cheaper for us.We’re young and trying to keep costs relatively low. At the moment, we’re planning to stay around 2 nights in each city, and the whole trip would last about 15–16 days in total.It’s our first Interrail trip, so we’re still new to all of this. We’re a bit unsure about reservations and travel times between cities, especially in August. We’re currently looking at accommodation options on Booking and Airbnb, and any tips on how to keep costs down would be really appreciated.D
