Is it possible to get to Belgrade to Sofia?

Hello, I've been doing research for an upcoming trip for the coming summer and part of my ideal route would include going to Belgrade from Sofia. I've seen some information on a direct train, but I have also seen information saying that the line no longer runs.Is it possible? And if so, how do I go about getting to Belgrade. Thanks!

trip from Brussels wirh 4 train days

Hi there, I have a global pass of 4 traindays in a month. I would like to go on holiday in july on my own. Starting in Brussel I would like each trainday to be followed by 2 non-train days (visiting city). I did Germany last year and have already been to Poland, Spain, France. Any suggestions how far I can get with only 4 days of train, including getting back to Brussel?Tine

Valencia to Amsterdam WITHOUT reservations

Hello!I am studying in Valencia this year and over winter break I am meeting my friend from back home in Amsterdam. I need to show up on the 21st of December and I get out of school on the 16th. I want to get there on regional, no reservation trains only because I already spent the money on the pass and I don’t mind if it takes a few days. On budget and on principle, I am not spending another 70 euros on the very first leg of my journey.The problem is, when I look up Valencia - Amsterdam on the Eurail planner with the no reservation filter, it shows me absolutely nothing no matter what dates and times I put in. What I’m wondering is if there’s ANY better way to figure out how to get from one place to the other than just going to the station in Valencia once I’m out of school and taking the first northbound train a whole bunch of times until I’m in Amsterdam. I can’t seem to find any other planning service that’s any more helpful, nor can I find complete timetables for stations themselv

how often too stop off

Hi, I am planning a trip for next year and wondered wether it’s worth using the pass as much as possible or to take your time travelling and exploring each place, or is it just personal preference?

Where is eurail on the internet?

Whenever I look on the internet regarding travel between 2 cities,( Milan to Budapest, say ) a host of “low rent” options are listed but I never see eurail as a site I can visit. Why is that?

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.

nightjet train from Amsterdam to Zurich with bikes

I am trying to book tickets from Amsterdam to Zurich with bicycles, it doesn’t seem to be available on ANY date, is this something that is no longer possible does anyone know? The OBB website does not suggest it has stopped, yet I can’t believe every date for 6 months is fully booked! Have they blocked this option?

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

absolute garbage scam eurrail

Don’t get the stupid eurrail pass if you are in France. First of all everything requires a booking fee, normally from 10-30 euros one way. Second of all, you can’t go anywhere like London or Amsterdam unless you book like two months ahead, which u might aswell get plane tickets if ur booking that far in advance. This stupid pass cost me more money than I could afford to lose.

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.

Using Interrail for cruising from your own country.

Just an idea that might help Interrail users. We live about 400 km from Southampton and have cruised from there a few times. We are considering using an Interrail Global pass in conjunction with our next cruise and the numbers seem to compare with the alternatives of driving and parking or flying from local airport.To travel by peak time trains would be extortionately expensive or inflexible, but allows unlimited luggage and avoids a long drive.A four day pass would be just over 200 pounds and no UK res costs.2 UK days and then 2 days of tickets to use in ports e.g. Lisbon to Sintra or Le Havre to Paris. Compared to cruise excursions this saves another couple of hundred pounds.

From Oslo to Gothenburg

Hello! I am trying to find the best way to travel from Oslo to Gothenburg. I checked if there were maybe ferry, but I didn’t find anything. I found train on sj.se, and I wanted to ask why it is more expensive than the other route, such as Stockholm - Oslo.I have to reach Germany then, so if maybe someone has experience with these routes and want to give me an advice, it would be nice! Also if it means to change plan and not to go to Gothenburg from Oslo. Thank you in advance.

Traveling from Venice to Salzburg by Train

I am working on my itinerary for my honeymoon and the last place we will be visiting in Italy before we go elsewhere is Venice. Our plans are to go to Salzburg, Austria after we leave Venice and schedule wise, we were thinking we would be leave Venice on a Saturday morning and take a train to Salzburg. My question is, do they have morning trains that go from Venice to Salzburg on Saturdays? This would be at the beginning of May this next year.
