Extreme Newbie - Long Travel Times?

Hello everyone! First off, I’ve never been to Europe and am attempting to plan a 16-day trip for my family in July. I am planning on purchasing a 10-Day Global Pass and started punching in the routes in the “Search Train Times in Europe” feature on this website to get an idea of travel time as well as which legs would require a reservation. Everything seemed pretty reasonable until I looked at Rome to Cannes (or anywhere in that area). It appeared that the travel time was over one day! On the app, it indicated that was about two days! Questions: is this accurate or am I reading something wrong I know that it may be an issue of which rails Eurail has access to. Is it common to purchase faster tickets separately for situations such as this? If so, what is the most reputable website to do so? Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. I consider myself relatively resourceful but am finding this process overwhelming, so I’m sure this won’t be my last post. Tentative outline of trip:

Bus stations Thessaloniki, route to Skopje

Hi there, I’ve been checking out buses departing from Thessaloniki to Skopje and on the Balkanviator website I found 3 buses daily.However, I could not find any more information about which bus station these would be departing from, I did try contacting the bus companies via email, but as expected didn’t hear back.Does anyone know which bus station(s) these would likely be departing from? https://www.balkanviator.com/en/bus-timetables/thessaloniki-gre/skopje-mkd/06.07.2022 Thanks,Alexia

Airport-city transfers

I’m getting a flight to Berlin and then interrailing from there, finishing off in Prague. I was wondering what the best way of transport is from Berlin Brandenburg Airport to the city centre and from Prague city centre to the airport. Is there a bus that would do this? How could I book this?Preferably not a taxi!

Can you travel to and from small places like Saint Jean Pied de Port and Burgos

Hi,I would like to go from Amsterdam to Saint Jean Pied de Port in France. And back from Burgos in Spain to Amsterdam again. Are both stops possible, or can you only travel to big cities instead of stopping at smaller places? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Travel from Luxembourg - Geneva

Hi all ☺️✨Just looking for some travel ideas - I am planning to go through Belgium to Luxembourg, and from there I have found out my friend will be visiting family in Geneva so I would like to go down there and visit her (and hopefully get some washing done!!)The journey from Luxembourg - Geneva is 7 hours, so I’d like to break it up by stopping somewhere (or a few places) for a few days en route down to Geneva. I’m planning to do Germany later in the trip so just looking for recommendations pretty direct along that route through France down to Geneva, from seasoned travellers!Thanks in advance ☺️

Planning a route on a budget for 3 weeks

Hi! I'm a college student with a 22 day global pass, my original route began in Thessaloniki in Greece however it was to difficult to get across to the likes of montenegro to croatia. Does anyone know any other routes that does not include going to Belgrade to directly croatia? We would love to see Montenegro and Albania but we don't want to backtrack on ourselves. Otherwise we will be beginning in Croatia and going from there. Thanks!

From Belgrad to split

Dear community my friends and I are planning a route to the balkans for this july/august. Our favorite route at the moment would bring us from budapest to belgrad. From serbia we would like to travel to Split, Croatia with a stopp in Sarajevo. Destinations from there on are Zagreb and Ljubjlana. There seems to be great change in the serbian railsystem and from budapest to belgrad as well as to sarajevo and split there seem to be no train routes. Do any of you may know if they are likely to finish the rails for this summer? At least from Budapest to Belgrad? If we would take busses to these destinations, are these gonna be paid for with the interrail planner? If not, do you guys have any tips on how to travel from Budapest to Split in another way? Or from Belgrad to Split? What are your experiences on travelling in Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegowina?

Greece / North Macedonia / Bulgaria train connections. Any advice?

Hello everyone,I am planning a one-month trip from Venice to Sofia from mid-March to mid-April.All the way from Italia to Greece is pretty easy to plan, but the Balkans’ part is way more difficult.I am especially struggling to find train tickets:- From Athens to Florina > Even on the website of the Greek trains company Trainose, I don’t find any tickets, even when I look for travels from Athen to Larissa - Larissa to Florina. I tried as well with a step in Thesaloniki... For all these options, the website said there is no ticket at all... Does that mean that there is no train anymore in Greece ? Or is it just impossible anymore to book on Trainose ? And where to book a ticket, then ?- From Florina to Bitola > As far as I understood, there is no train line crossing the border between Greece and North Macedonia... How to cross the border, then ? Are there any buses or cheap cabs ? Is it safe to cross the border here as a women alone without traveling by train ?- From Kochani to Sof

London to Disney Paris

Does anybody know if in the app (Rail Planner), there's a best station to book a seat reservation from London to Disney Paris? I cannot see inside the app an option directly to the station Marne-la-Vallée. #help
