Option 3 (faster but more expensive):- similar as 2 until Paris- Eurostar Paris-Nord - Köln Hbf 09:55 - 13:15 82€- ICE Köln Hbf - Hamburg Hbf 14:09 - 17:52 37€
Ah pardon, comme tu n'as pas mentionné de ville je me suis dit que ce serait depuis Paris hahaEffectivement la France n'aime pas la flexibilité. Même certains TER seront à réservation cet été, au lieu de rajouter plus de trains... bref.A voir les horaires, etc. mais il y a un TGV quotidien reliant Avignon à Francfort. Ensuite Berlin n'est plus très très loin, c'est faisable en une journée.Sinon un TGV Avignon - Bruxelles + le train de nuit European Sleeper.Non, ce n'est pas un souci. Au pire tu peux voyager debout dans les couloirs, la vraie expérience Interrail ! Mais ça ne devrait pas arriver.
27th May? Only that one-way journey then?A pass won't be good value (seat reservations cost extra, etc.) but tickets won't be cheap either. I'll have a look and update later.OPTION 1:- TGV Carcassonne - Lyon Part-Dieu 18:25 - 21:48 35€ 2nd class/39€ 1st class (the earlier TGV is more expensive)- night near the station- TER Lyon Part-Dieu - Geneva 08:38 - 10:46 33€ (expensive for nothing...)- and then through DB: a Sparpreis ticket for 49€ all the way to Hamburg (slightly more for 1st class, do it!). Feel free to add a 1h stopover in Bern, Basel or wherever you feel like it!OPTION 2: updating.- Intercités Carcassonne - Toulouse 20:34 - 21:17- Intercités de nuit Toulouse - Paris-Austerlitz 22:20 - 07:09 -> both for 100€ (incl. couchette)- TGV Paris-Est - Karlsruhe Hbf 13:51 - 16:25- ICE Karlsruhe Hbf - Hamburg Hbf 16:58 - 22:14 -> 85€ 2nd class/103€ 1st (through DB)There are more options too but I won't write about all of them haha. Feel free to ask anything.
Chacun a des intérêts différents... :)Je te conseillerai de faire une boucle (à vpir dans quel sens !). Par exemple :- train de nuit Paris - Berlin (ou de jour mais c'est long). Il y a aussi Bruxelles - Berlin - Prague (European Sleeper)- Berlin- Prague- pourquoi pas une autre ville en Rép. Tchèque ? Brno par exemple. :)- Vienne et day trip vers Bratislava- Budapest- Ljubljana- train de nuit vers Stuttgart ou Zurich pour rentrer à la maisonJe te conseille de réserver les trains de nuit en avance (et les TGV). Pour le reste tu peux être beaucoup plus flexible.
Obviously this is also possible in a single travel day:TGV Carcassonne - Lyon Part-Dieu 08:25 - 11:48 TER Lyon Part-Dieu 12:38 - 14:46 IC5 Geneva - Biel/Bienne 15:15 - 16:43 IC51 Biel/Bienne - Basel SBB 16:49 - 17:55 NJ Basel SBB - Hamburg Hbf 22:13 - 07:53Trains run every 30 min in Switzerland so feel free to stop in Geneva, Lausanne, Bern for a while before reaching Basel.
You should split the search to find more results. :)Planners will always give the fastest route, even if it means “risky” connections.On some dates there is a (Cerbère -) Narbonne - paris night train, otherwise there is the daily Toulouse - Paris. I’d indeed try to get either of them as they’re fantastic value (20-25€ for a couchette).Afterwards you could spend the day in Paris and take the Paris - Berlin night train (not daily). Berlin - Hamburg is rather easy.2 other options:Paris - Freiburg TGV + night train to Hamburg fully during the day (but it’s quite long)What would be the travel date?Times are subject to engineering works (plenty of them!) but it could look as follows:night train arrival at 7am explore Paris TGV Paris-Est - Freiburg (Breisgau) Hbf 17:24 - 20:26 20€ reservation have dinner maybe NJ Freiburg (Breisgau) Hbf - Hamburg Hbf 22:58 - 07:53 (+ delay)Also possible to board the night train already in Basel for a longer night.
For OBB you must add Interrail/Eurail as a discount and then select one-way tickets. That way the passholder fare will be shown. Otherwise feel free to use https://www.raileurope.com/ : desktop version only, click on add rail pass (no fees and 2€ extra for seat selection).Btw if those are your only journeys for the whole trip a pass will not be good value.The Leonardo is a suburban/regional train and seat reservations are not possible. Simply board the first train you can. (It is classified as 1st class only as all airport trains are expensive across the world but in fact it’s a standard regional train.)
Let’s say it from the start: Spain is the worst country for Interrail. RENFE doesn’t want to deal with passholders.On Rail Europe (desktop version) you can click on add rail pass. Which trains exactly are you trying to book? We’ll be able to advise better. :)For example the Lyon - Barcelona AVE (run by RENFE) is unavailable online: you must go on the day on the platform and speak to staff. Yes for real! Fortunately there are alternatives.
Some trains have mandatory reservations (Italian and French high-speed trains for example), some trains have optional reservations and some don't have any (suburban and regional services for example).You'll need a reservation for Venice - Milan (unless you take the slower regional services) and Basel/Mulhouse - Paris.Como - Zurich is easily done reservation-free with a change in Chiasso or Lugano. The direct train requires a 13€ reservation for 2 km until the border…Reservations within Switzerland are rarely possible and unnecessary: nobody makes them. Hop on and sit wherever you want.You get a 25% discount on Titlis (25-50% for other peaks) while boats on Lake Thun and Brienz are fully included!Have a look at this guide: https://www.seat61.com/interrail-and-eurail-reservations.htmRail Europe (desktop) should work for all your journeys. Feel free to ask anything. :)PS: you mention buses, those won't be included unless they replace trains (due to works). Where would you take them?
Depends what and where you want to book.For optional reservations in Germany, Austria,... it's the same process (and price) whether you've got a ticket or a pass.Often for special passholder fares you can add Interrail as a discount (nightjet.com) or as a rail pass (Rail Europe).There are so many companies around Europe that it's hard to have a similar process. We're already grateful that Interrail exists 52 years later!Have a look at this guide and feel free to ask more questions afterwards: https://www.seat61.com/interrail-and-eurail-reservations.htm
I have no idea honestly. These kind of bugs are usually quickly solved. Check in a few days (there are still hundreds of seats left).At first I thought it could have to do with trains unavailable on 26th July* but doesn't look like it then…*There will be extra security measures for the Olympics opening ceremony and some train stations might be fully closed, etc.
Both websites are totally fine and cost the same (3€ per seat). I don't know why ÖBB doesn't offer the Budapest - Ljubljana train... who knows!
They should be available from 60 days in advance through https://www.cd.cz/en/default.htm
Weird. What's the travel date?Have you activated the pass in advance by mistake?
Only note that you can travel on max 2 days in your country of residence (France then). Otherwise you're fully flexible :)
Bookings are probably not open yet.Stuttgart/Munich - Budapest is available until 11th July at the moment. I might suggest going to Augsburg from Munich so you have a longer night sleep.Vienna - Strasbourg isn’t open for August yet. This night train doesn’t run daily and sometimes doesn’t stop in Strasbourg (diverted via Saarbrücken as there are works after Strasbourg). If you take this train you’ll have to use this workaround (about inbound/outbound travel days): https://www.interrail.eu/en/interrail-passes/interrail-mobile-pass/mobile-pass-faq/how-can-i-travel-back-home-by-night-trainOtherwise have a look at Vienna - Zurich (rather expensive) or Vienna - Bregenz (very affordable thanks to subsidies*, shiny new carriages). From both cities you can easily reach Lyon during the day. :)*about 20€ for the convenient and cool mini cabin. More: https://www.seat61.com/trains-and-routes/nightjet-new-generation.htm
Pour l’instant les billets sont disponibles jusqu’au 11 juillet. Je vous conseille de vérifier régulièrement si la vente a commencé.C’est mieux de passer par https://www.nightjet.com/en/#/home ou https://shop.oebbtickets.at/en/ticket (ajouter Interrail comme rabais).PS: La gare de Kelenföld est assez éloignée du centre-ville, je vous conseille d’aller jusqu’au terminus (Keleti).
Looks good.The ferry is indeed expensive. As alternative you could take a Flixbus to Trieste (15:40 - 18:32 for example) and then a 2h train to Venice.Lake Bohinj is a beautiful area (much better and a bit less touristy than Bled). You have to take a bus but they’re rather frequent.
The seating carriages are named Intercity. Reservations optional but recommended. Lights are fully on, you won't have a pleasant night.Couchette and sleeper carriages run as Nightjet, reservations required. Definitely worth the investment (book early).There are engineering works between Olten and Basel this summer. Timetables will be updated in the coming weeks. In any case I'd suggest leaving Bern earlier to have some margin. Trains run every 30 min on that line.Btw it will be the Swiss National Day so enjoy! :)
No, because of the stupid quota for TGVs out of Brussels (thanks SNCF...). You could board the TGV in Lille-Europe but it’s impossible to reach that station in time from Amsterdam...I’ve suggested the best option I believe. It might be possible to get the exact same seats through Rail Europe if you’re lucky (there’s no seat selection unfortunately).
I only now realize that the change in Marne-la-Vallée (Disneyland) is practically impossible😰 Why do you say that? It’s the same train (TGV9826). You might have to move from carriage 1 to 3 but that’s it. :)I indeed mistakenly wrote 12:18 instead of 12:13 as the departure time but you’ll stay onboard regardless.Btw if you book through Rail Europe you see seat numbers before payment so you could try to get seats near the previous ones!
Reservations are not possible at all on the IC so it will be fine. It might get busy at some point but since you’re boarding at the first stop you’ll have plenty of choice. :)Btw if you’re fine with paying a bit extra you could leave later via Paris…Eurostar Paris-Nord 08:08 - 11:35 32€ RER D Paris-Nord - Paris Gare de Lyon (pass not valid, get tickets onboard the Eurostar to save time) TGV Paris Gare de Lyon - Barcelona-Sants 14:42 - 21:27 35€Unfortunately this route is expensive and choices are limited. Looking forward to the Amsterdam - Barcelona night train, hopefully from 2025!
Okay thanks for the answer.First train: very limited passholder quota on TGVs out of Brussels. It’s highly likely that there were never passholder seats on this train. Basically you can hardly ever book further than CDG Airport/Marne-la-Vallée due to the quota. The alternative could be to buy a domestic fare from Lille for example (more below though).Second train: unavailable online. Only on the platform on the day, too risky in summer but...This itinerary would work:TGV Bruxelles-Midi - Marne-la-Vallée (Disneyland) 10:17 - 12:08 20€ same unit but new seat… TGV Marne-la-Vallée - Valence TGV 12:18 - 14:45 10€ TGV Valence TGV - Barcelona-Sants 16:57 - 21:27 25€However what you may (and should!) do: when the AVI arrives at 15:11 go and ask staff on the platform whether there’s availability...If there is: yay hop on and cancel the TGV booking (100% refundable until 30 min after departure) If there isn’t: too bad… 2 hours to keep busy in Valence TGV, maybe watching trains go through at 300
What’s your travel date? There are engineering works between 9th June and 8th September on Domodossola - Milan and trains are replaced by buses (1h longer journey).Passholder reservations for them seem to be unavailable online. I’d buy 13€ regular tickets online (https://www.trenitalia.com/) for peace of mind.I might go ask at a ticket counter later this week how it works for passholders...
The travel day will be lost, whether a journey is linked or not.You should activate a pass day at a time, when you arrive at the train station for example.
