Did you hear about the UK mom, Kirstie Allsopp, allowing her 15-year-old son and his 16-year-old friend go Interrailng on their own? It sparked quite the debate online! She argues the experience gave them more confidence and independence. Among our community, we often hear how a Interrail/Eurail adventure broadens horizons and is truly transformative. So, we want to know—what did you learn, or how did you change after your trip? Share your experience in the comments below! 👇 https://x.com/KirstieMAllsopp/status/1825622986671677696
I often use the ÖBB map of sleeper services - which covers their own trains and some Euronight services, but notably misses SNCF and Trenitalia.I was searching online for a more comprehensive map, and found this - an interactive map of all the sleepers in Europe, including details on frequency, timing, operator. It’s a great piece of work.https://nachtzugkarte.de/en/I’m sure it will be a useful resource. Apologies if already posted somewhere.
Hello! According to our plans, unfortunately, the train journey from Turkey to Berlin exceeds 1 day by about 40 minutes. To solve this problem, we made a plan to get off at the Prague Hilavni Nadrazi stop, walk to another stop, and then take a bus to Berlin. Can you suggest a better plan or give me some advice?

Hello, I came from Strasbourg and I would like to visit Copenhague during my trip. What is the best itinerary and what else should I visit ?
I would love to travel up to Estonia via Lithuania and Latvia from Poland but I am struggling to see how to do this! Is it possible? And if so what is the best way to plan/book this? I already have my interrail pass so am looking for some help for the best journey to do! I have the 10 travel days in 2 months pass!!
I purchased 2 10 day 1st class Flex passes yesterday. Our trip begins in the Netherlands from which we want to travel to Berlin. The time tables are not yet available for when we will be traveling (09-July-2025). But current schedule shows frequent options. Our other intended destinations in order were Cologne, Strasbourg, Bayeux and Paris (we're flying home from CDG). To Cologne looked simple with a train change, but the suggested options had layover times shorter than the suggested needed time to allow for changes. The remaining segments get very complicated, some with multiple transfers. Would I better to change the order of the destinations? If I have to cut a destination it would be Strasbourg. We want to end up in Paris since that is our flight home, arriving at least a day or two before 2-Sept so we can go to Notre Dame since we could not go in 2022 when were there.Appreciate any help and advice.

Can I use regular estonian, Latvian and lithuanian trains with an interrail global Pass? Are there trains to use in These countries? Because some of them do not appear on the interrail map.
Hello Back on the rails this year and the second trip I’m planning (thank you pass sale) is Sicily, (TRAIN ON A BOAT!), dawdle up through Italy, over the moutains into Switzerland, swim in some lakes/climb some mountains and mooch home.Just wondering if anyone out there has done that route and has any recommendations or advice?Might be the last rail trip the teenager will do with me, sniff.ThanksSarah
Hi guys!Does anyone have any recommendations for countries to visit with my 7-day Global Pass? I’m looking for more affordable cities that have a lot of beautiful architecture and history, where sightseeing is free for EU citizens and is safe for a solo female traveler I’m already sure I want to go to Budapest, Vienna, Rome, and Krakow.Looking forward to seeing everyone’s suggestions! Thank you :)))
Hi,how can I book a specifix seat on panorama car via Arlberg? I know, I can select the coach on OeBB Website, but how can I select the specific seat? Bahn.de is also not possible. Or has anybody experience how full this coach would be on December 2th or 3rd from Feldkirch to Innsbruck?

Hello ! I am travelling (alone) in scandinavia with the global pass, and at the moment i am in Stockholm.I used to not organize anything and move where i feel to go and i’ve only did big cities. But now, i would love to go to stunning nature places as i know these countries have to offer.Do anyone has recommendation or itineraries to visit these countries? I’ll be there for the next 4-5 months or more, so i have time to go everywhere!Big preference for nature while slow travelling, if it can be optimized with the weather of the next months (i mean, prioritizing “best” places in the “best month” for it) would be awesome.Thank you very much !
As it’s getting towards winter, I thought I’d share a couple of new services that are around this winter, and some very useful maps I’ve found that help make sense of existing trains.Eurostar are operating a weekly service from Amsterdam & Brussels to the Isère Valley, with connections available from London via Lille. Details from UK and from BE/ NL. European Sleeper are going from Brussels/ Amsterdam to several alpine Austrian stations, though only on an odd selection of dates.Snowcarbon is a great resource for finding your way to ski resorts. They have recommended train times (from London) and also details on transfers to the resort from the nearest station, including some often hard-to-find bus timetables. They also created these maps, showing the all routes for reaching the Austrian Alps, and the French ski resorts from Northern Europe.SBB - I’m always impressed by Snow ‘n’ Rail from SBB, which combines a train ticket with a lift pass, at a discount. There doesn’t seem to be mu
Hello beautiful people! I’m planning a Eurotrip for my 30th birthday in February/March 2025 and I’d like your advice on how to get from city to city using the Eurail Pass. Whenever possible, I would prefer to travel by night to save money/lower the cost of my trip. Here’s my itinerary so far:Barcelona (3-4 days) Marseille (2-3 days) Milan (2-3 days) **or should I go to Venice instead? Vienna (3-4 days) Prague (2-3 days) **open to skipping this one/substituting with another destination Berlin (3-4 days) Amsterdam (3-4 days)Thanks in advance and looking forward to reading your comments! 🙂 Izzie
Hi!We want to go along the northern spanish coast. A few questions: 1.) For the feve railways: Which part is the most scienic? As the trains are really slow, we would only go where it is much more nice than the normal renfe railway…2.) I have seen, there are some Renfe trains in the rail planner app called TRN where are reservation is said to be needed. When I click on the details, there is only a 6€ fee for second class. We have Interrail first class. So is there no fee for us or is there no first class? Could it be, a only second class train where a reservation is needed?3.) Anyone of you went on the Spanish northern coast from Hendaye to northern Portugal? Which combination of trains seems to be especially good? I remember that some renfe trains offered free food for first class passengers and that there was also a scientic mountain route which is now replaced by a high speed tunnel…
How is it possible to go with the train from Zweisimmen to Montbovon without reservation fees? When I look in the railplanner app e. g. for November 6th, I only get trains with “variable fees”.I always thought that it would only cost for the panoramic car...

Hello, I want to go with my family (2 adults, 2 children 2,5) with the Flambahn. I already heard, that I can buy discounted tickets only a ticket offices and maybe any hotline. Do you know the price of a discounted round trip ticket?Do you know if there is a ticket office in Myrdal?Is there a nice way to combine a ship in the fjord with a trip to Bergen or Flam?Or is it better in Andalsness?
We (2 adults, two children 2,5) would like to travel in Sveden with Interrail first class. We would like to go with x2 / x2000 train from Malmö to Gotenburg but on Interrail app, a reservation is 19€. Four times 19€ seems a little expensive to me.Are there any cheaper options / is reservation really needed? or are there any benefits like free meal?
