A travel day is a calendar day, e.g. April 18th. On this travely day you are allowed to board as many trains as possible (even to another place and back on the same route). So you just need to count on how many calendar days you'd board trains to get you somewhere.The Eurail pass does include Trenitalia's high speed trains and Trenitalia's regional (local) trains (for Napoli to Sorrento and back there's just an included connection until May 5th as the regional trains aren't operated by Trenitalia; recommend: there's a frequent and fast ferry service - nice trip but going by train is cheaper).But if you plan well ahead you may also check the price for normal tickets here: https://www.trenitalia.com/. You are not doing that big trips; a normal ticket (that does imclude the mandatory reservation) might be cheaper. But prices are dynamic here and do depend on booking time and travel date. But it never hurts just to check prices.
They are both included and do both have seating, couchette and sleeper carriages (the higher the category the more expensive).
I am trying to see if I can travel overnight from Kraków Poland, returning west, Germany or other since since it is such a long journey? Thank you for any help! You didn't provide a travel date and where you'd like to go exactly but there are two convenient possibilities:At 21.51 a night train to Szczecin with connection e.g. to Lübeck or Berlin if you are heading to the north of Germany (train is going to Świnoujście for e.g. Usedom).At 22.35 a night train to München ((much) more expensive in some categories) if you are heading to the south of Germany.
I’ve been planning on going through Rail Europe to make seat reservations for my trains involving France. I’m going from London to Toulouse and Toulouse to Zurich. I did find someone saying that their tickets/reservations from Rail Europe weren’t showing up in the system at the train station, and I hadn’t come across people saying this was an issue till now. I know everyone’s experience is different, but I am doing this solo so I’m trying my best to avoid hiccups. Which, one primarily is going through the official train operators and avoiding third parties. Does Rail Europe have any risks that come with making reservations with them rather than an official train operator? If I can, should I just make the reservations through b-Europe (I’m fine with the extra cost)? That doesn't matter. Rail Europe is reliable. That something doesn't work may occur everywhere else, too. Also, some of the seat reservations I'm getting are through OBB even though they're not the official train operator
I have purchased a Eurail pass for me and a friend. We’re heading to Amsterdam on April 27 and visiting seven countries going by train. I’ve taken many trains in Europe including this year but I’ve always bought regular tickets. This is my first pass and I’m confused even after reading the entire website. 1.) I have created seven “trips” in Rail Planner. I’ve successfully made a few reservations but some of the trips that say reservations recommended I’ve tried numerous times to make and I get an error message. How do I know if these trains are available? And for trips with several legs I get messages that say some of the parts of the journey can’t be made. 2.) Second question: for trains where reservations aren’t necessary how does one know what car to get on and what seats may already be reserved by others before we sit down? 3.) Finally some of the legs have very short transfers like 7-9 minutes! Is it possible to make these connections? We’re in our sixties and not marathon runner
If you don't hold a reservation, it's first come first served even in 1st class. Reserved seats are indicated. For a surcharge of 15 € per person, you may also use business class when holding a 1st class pass (much better experience).
I’m a little confused about the App and QR code vs web-based booking. I’ve booked the fast trains separately on their respective sites and have emailed tickets. Where no seat reservations are needed, can I just schedule each section on the planner App on my mobile, and then show the QR code from the App once onboard? Is this like a ticket recording against my pass the days used? Yes, it's that easy.
I keep getting the trains coming up on the App when searching Basel to Brig that go through the tunnel. Is there an intermediatory stop that will help select the right route? E.g. Kandersteg.
Unfortunately you didn’t tell what you are trying to buy (the official price depends on age). E.g. a global pass for 2 under 28 2nd class is US-$ 630 if bought officially. $ 734 would be the official price for for one adult and one youth pass.
I want to buy Eurail tickets, but when I tried (practice run) to book seats for the Munich to Budapest train on August 26, it read “all booked up.” I tried every train on that date and with the same result - all booked up. I’ve read on travel forums that this is most likely not the case (that it is in fact not all booked up). I can’t proceed with buying Eurail passes as long as this is leg of the trip is not available to us. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance. It’s not sold out. The reason why you won’t get a reservation is that there is track construction going on on this route and all direct trains will get a new timetable between Linz and Budapest that is not confirmed yet. To do a reservation, you may use Tickets & services (oebbtickets.at), but there will be a revised timetable and you need to wait until it is confirmed (no date announced for this). It’s possible to do a reservation for train
Can i use the Germany Rail pass for the train in Austria ( from Salzburg to Innsburg)? @Somyos Kiataramkul That’s possible if you don’t use the direct trains from Salzburg to Innsbruck. You need to take any train to Rosenheim and change there for a direct DB-ÖBB cooperation train to Italy (coming from München) where the German Rail pass is valid even for Innsbruck.
Bookable in DB Navigator That won’t work. It’s just shown because Westbahn has still a not revised timetable.

Glasgow to London is published up to July 9th yet on the train operator's webpage: https://www.avantiwestcoast.co.uk/You don't need a reservation for that trip but you may do one for free if wanted. For your other major trips you do need reservations and they are already available. Just don't book them with Eurail itself (will become later available, are more expensive). If the trains do show in the rail planner doesn't matter for validity of your pass. If you are unsure about this, just ask here for a specific train.For your other trips it's no problem to do it late (needed just for long distance trains in Italy).
You don't. They are totally separate.
These regional timetables will not be shared with the international timetable center so you won't see them on any International planner (just the morning long distance train).You may check timetables later this year at https://www.trenitalia.com/. You may already check June 8th for similar timetables (June 15th isn't published yet).But there will be a reservation free regional train e.g. to Bologna at least every hour so it's no problem to do this trip whenever you get to the station.
If you do need 11 travel days in Europe, you do have no choice. It will always be a two month validity when buying a flexi pass. It wouldn't be possible to cover 37 days of travel with a one month pass anyway. That's more than one month.
Depends on the seat reservations and where you'll buy it. Sometimes you need to provide your pass number, sometimes you don't. Sometimes a fake number does work, sometimes it doesn't. You need to start validity of your global pass at least 11 months after buying it. When buying a mobile pass, you may choose your starting date at any point in the following 11 months. So it would be no problem to buy it even now for September.
It doesn't. You won't even get a reduction. Just the train to Zermatt (and back) is covered.
Can anyone recommend overnight sleeper trains in Italy? Would like to go from Venice to Naples and then Naples back up to Florence or Milan but there don’t seem to be many direct overnight trains to these destinations. Do any of you have any experience booking this type of trip? Venezia to Napoli is possible daily at 22.31 with a change at Roma Termini (arrives 8.12 in Napoli).Napoli to Milano is possible daily at 21.35 (arrives 6.55).It's also possible to go from Napoli to Firenze and Milano with a change at Salerno (leaves 23.33 from there). But Napoli to Firenze is just 3 hours by daytime train.
No, you can't. A printed copy is no valid ticket. A screenshot is no valid ticket, too.(It would be possible to create much more travel days than 10 that way (in fact for every day in two months) because it's possible to delete a travel day before it does start. BTW: It's also no good idea to activate all travel days before needed because you can't delete them when they did start.)If your phone is broken or stolen, it's possible to transfer your pass:"In the unfortunate scenario that your device gets lost, damaged, or broken with your Pass on it, you can opt to move your Pass to another device.Open the app on your new device and go to My Pass to add your Pass using your last name and Pass number from the order confirmation email. When asked, tap 'Move Pass' and follow the steps to have your Pass moved to the new device.Remember, if you don’t have a device available to add your Pass to, you won’t be able to travel since you won’t be able to show your ticket. You run the risk of being fi
(There was an excellent connection via Celje in Slovenia but ÖBB has suddenly cut the Celje-Split service down to Wednesdays only, from 3 times a week). It's no ÖBB train, it's one from Slovakia (ZSSK), that is not cut down to Wednesdays only, it has just no confirmed timetable for the departure dates for June 7th and June 9th departures - that's why it's not shown for that date.
There is no direct night train from Bruxelles to Innsbruck.Cheapest way is to go by reservation free IC to Amsterdam at 15.44 (later connections possible but more expensive) and from there by direct night train to Innsbruck. That way you'd need just one travel day.Pay attention. For the faster Eurostar train you'd need an expensive reservation, the slower IC trains are hop on (you just need to add the train in your rail planner app).You need to reserve the night train (just Amsterdam to Innsbruck) here: https://shop.oebbtickets.at/en/ticket (choose your global pass as reduction first (tap change) and then buy ticket (not just reservation; tap find seevices).In the rail planner app, search for Bruxelles to Amsterdam first and then for Amsterdam to Innsbruck. It's no good idea to try to buy the reservation at the station. Night trains are often sold out.
Hi, I tried to use the DB app to check the price of the trip below. But it showed me S2 and buy ticket. But no train type and price are shown. May I know how do I know the price of this ticket and buy it online ? Thanks It's possible to buy a ticket up to three hours before departure (it's valid from the moment of buying up to three hours).But there's no need to do so. You may buy it from a ticket machine at the station, too.The price is 5,80 € (doesn't change).(Just in case you plan to visit Dachau memorial: The ticket is valid for the connecting bus, too.)
I tried to add the route from Bolzano to Monterosso to my trip in the Eurail app, and got a message that a supplement is required for this train. Apparently, all trains going via the Brenner route require this supplement,. I tried booking via Eurail, but that wasn’t possible. The Eurail information says: “You need a mandatory supplement to travel to/from/within Italy. You can purchase the supplement in advance or on the train for a small fee (5 Euro). 2nd class: 10 Euro, 1st class 15 Euro. The information says to book it via the ÖBB ticket shop. I selected the “Interrail/Eurail Global Pass” under “Discounts”. For 3 people, the supplement was 182 Euros 70 Cents. Is that normal, or am I doing something wrong? That does seem kind of steep, especially when Eurail says in the info that the supplement would cost 10 or 15 Euro, respectively. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks very much!! Sylvia The ÖBB ticket shop can't sell this supplement for stations behind Brenner (inside Italy)
