From Paris Nord (France) to Le Creux-Des-Biches (Switzerland)

Good afternoon, I would like to know if there is any slower way that I can go from paris nord to Le Creux-Des-biches (Switzerland) without making any payment? What are the alternative ways instead of buying reservation seat on TGV and Eurostar. Thank you.

Switzerland advice

Spending 4 days in Switzerland and looking to base ourselves in Lucerne to do as many scenic train trips as possible. Coming from Strasbourg/Colmar initially and leaving from Buchs SG - any tips and guides would be appreciated - especially thinking of multi point routes so we can return to base each day if possible.

Advice on route planning - Croatia, Switzerland, France, Spain

Hi everyone!I am planning an interrail trip from roughly 20 July to 5 September 2024. I’m open to any destinations that sound interesting, but particularly keen to see Dubrovnik, Zagreb, Zurich and Bern. During the interrail period, I have fixed engagement that mean I’ll need to be in Paris for 02-04 August and Barcelona in the second half of August. I’m having some trouble designing the best route that could cover my fixed engagements while also taking me through the destinations I’m particularly keen to see. Any advice on route planning for this trip would be much appreciated! Thanks, David

Day trip to Bratislava

Hello!My family and I will be in Vienna for 3 nights at the end of June (as part of a two week trip in Europe) and wondered if a day trip to Bratislava might be a good idea and is it best to get the bus or train? (It won’t be using one of our Interail travel days.) Many thanks in advance.

Most interesting way to go London to Bari, Italy

Going to be going from London to Bari in mid May.I did the route last year and wentLondon - Brussels - Frankfurt - Munich (overnight) - Padua - Pescara (overnight) - 3am train to Bari so as to catch midday boat to Greece.and on the way back,Bari - Rimini (overnight) - Milan - Zurich (overnight) - Frankfurt - Brussels - London. Does anyone have any thoughts on alternative attractive route with a couple of stops?The only bits I found a bit tedious last year were the Brussels to Cologne bits due to the overcrowding and potential cancellations of that train.

travelling between Rome Tirbutina and Termini

Hello! I am aware that with a 2nd class interrail pass you can travel from the Rome airport to Rome Tirbutina station, but you can’t travel to Rome Termini. However, my question was if you can travel between Rome Tirbutina and Rome Termini with a 2nd class interrail pass? So can I travel from the airport to Tirbutina and then from Tirbutina to Termini all with my interrail pass? thanks for your help!!!

Timetable 2024: new connections and other novelties

Hellow fellow rail travellersLike every year, we can expect a timetable change around 10 December 2023. All the railway companies are working hard to get the new timetable for 2024. Which means we will slowly get some insights and announcements in new offers, and changes in offers the next weeks.If you’re planning for a big trip around Europe in ‘24, please note that information after 10 december 2023 is scarce. This will improve from medio october. Patience is key ;)In this topic we try to bundle the relevant news and information about changes in offers on routes that are traditionally interesting for the typical Interrailer or Eurailers (night trains, long distance new international connections, opening of new lines, touristically intersting routes...).So if you have any interesting updates, please share! It can only help travellers planning for ‘24 to know better what expect.For your information:It’s not very interesting to state that your daily commuter train is planned 5 min earli

Eurail Global Pass to numerous countries

Over a period of 10 days, my siblings and I are planning to travel this route in May/June:London → Glasgow → Edinburgh → London → Paris → Belgium → Amsterdam → Paris → LondonThe Eurail site automatically input dates for each trip (see below), but can we use the pass on any day within the month? I’m told Eurail does not operate in France. I assume we can use the Pass on another trainline within France in order to travel to other countries. Am I correct?

Which itinerary between Belgium/ Netherlands/ Germany or Austria/Hungary/Slovakia should I choose?

Hello, I’m prospecting for a travel in Europe but I am indecisive ! On the one hand, I wanted to visit Austria/Hungary and Slovakia because it is easy to make a reservation by train (pass) and that I want for a long time to go back to Austria and visit Hungary, and moreover because I want to see beautiful lakes. But I’m scared it is dangerous in some eastern cities and I prefer tovisit smaller typical cities, and on the second hand, I also want to visit Germany on a larger scale than I did ( I went to Mannheim and Heidelberg) and I also want to visit Netherlands/ Belgium ( Brussels) and if possible one or many cities in Germany ( so sadly, Berlin is too far from me ):What do you think about it ? What should I do in priority ? Thank you in advance

Didn't have a planWhich Interrail Pass?I had a 5 day Global Pass and my trip lasted for 12 days in total. Marseille, France Kasia in Paris Strassbourg, France AccommodationI didn't have any accommodation booked in advance.

Railways operated by Kids for Families.

Pioneer (how they call them in the former Eastern Bloc) or Children´s Railway are a unique adventure for families especially in countries of the former “Eastern Bloc”. Here operate kids a railway for everyone for leisure. (There is always an adult that overwatch the operations and the drivers are mostly adults aswell).These pioneer railways were used to engage childs for a Worklife in the Transportation sector.Many of these railways still survived. The most famous one is the Railway in Budapest with a 11kilometers long line. Other cities with such railways are Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig, Chemnitz, Gera, Cottbus, Görlitz, Plauen(electrified) all Germany, Kosice (Slovakia).There are even more especially in Russia. I prefer Berlin (as iam living here), Budapest and Dresden.Here a picture from the Childrens Railway in BudapestMany Childrens railway have steamengines and use them often on weekends and special events here a picture from Dresden (Germany)And here a steamtrain from the Childrens
