I’d like to have a clarification about the 4-day Greek Islands Pass.It says on the site that it lasts 4 days but it does not clarify if once you activate it you have 4 consecutive days where you can use it, or if you have 4 different days in one month usage.It’s 2 very different things, whereas in the second option you have more time and freedom on when to use those 4 days.

We plan a tour including Albania (probably by bus since there are no trains running) and wonder how to travel from the Albanian border to Croatia / Split. Any suggestions?

 Good morning,:I wanted to receive directions for a trip I plan to take in the summer. We live near Pamplona, Navarra, Spain. We want to go to northern Italy with the intention of seeing Venice mainly and take the opportunity to visit Verona and some other place we haven't decided on yet. I am looking at trains from Pamplona to Milan, from Zaragoza to Milan, or from Barcelona to Milan...or any town near Pamplona with a train connection to Italy, preferably without transfers, but I understand that it might be impossible, but it is proving to be very complicated. I am traveling with a person who is 70 years old. We want something simple. I have come across your website. Could you tell me if there is any way to make this trip by train?

I am trying to figure out how to get the best use os my pass on the last inbound part of my travel.I haven’t decided exactly which train I will take, but it might look something like this: Hamburg (DE) 20:43 to Flensburg (DE) 22:40 (Last station before the border)Flensburg (DE) 22:50 to Fredericia (DK) 00:14Fredericia (DK) 00:20 to Horsens (DK) 00:59 The last part is short, but in case I have a travel day to spare, I can just as well use it for that.I have read this guide: https://www.interrail.eu/en/interrail-passes/interrail-mobile-pass/mobile-pass-faq/how-can-i-travel-back-home-by-night-trainI tells how to split an inbound journey, so that the inbound is applied to the second day. But that assumes that the border is crossed after midnight. In my case I will cross the border before midnight and change to another train after midnight.I know this will require 2 travel days, but is there any way to apply the inbound journey to the last day?There is no trains from Flensburg after midnigh

Hey,I bought a ticket from Vienna to Berlin with DB before purchasing the interrail pass. I would like to use it as part of my interrail. Is there a way to get a refund from that?  Thanks!

Hello all - first time using this site but hoping you guys have some tips/inspiration! In August we need to be Malaga on the weekend of 24th/25th - can you suggest a scenic route that we can do with overnight stays on the way to Malaga and on the way home from Malaga.We will start and end the travel from London so could do the Eurostar - length of the trip is maximum 10/14 days due to work and school.Looking for inspiration of where would great to stop onroute to Malaga - i.e Eurostar to Paris, stay overnight, next day train to next destination and stay overnight etc etc.Thanks!

Hi all,I have an interrail with two ‘country days’, and am a UK resident. Are these fixed such that you get one ‘inbound’ and one ‘outbound’ journey, or can I travel ‘inbound’ (ie Belgium → UK) twice instead?Many thanks,Lily

I’ve begun booking some trips for the summer and have booked Amsterdam to Brussels and Brussels to London. The Amsterdam to Brussels portion has a ticket QR code on the Eurail app, but the Brussels to London segment (on Eurostar) does not. I did, however, have to add additional passport information on the Eurostar website to get my seat reservation for the Brussels-London portion of the trip and I printed out this ticket with a QR code directly from Eurostar. Can I assume that this ticket from Eurostar is the only one I need, and that there isn’t a separate QR code required on the Eurail app?

We have a 1st Class Global Eurail Pass. Now looking at seat reservations for Amsterdam to London in mid June. We are seniors and the price for the seat reservations is close to $300 AUD. Is this normal? Or is this because we are travelling in peak season? Seems very expensive. We are still learning how to navigate the websites,

Hi. I am looking at booking to seats from Paris to Amsterdam on Rail Europe. We have a 1st class Global Pass. I can book the seat reservations but cannot see where I can select specific seats. Is this possible on Rail Europe or at all?

Hi Is it relatively easy to book the Eurostar (Paris to London) using the pass or are there a limited number of seats available to pass holders?  Before I buy the pass I’m trying to figure out if these tickets for August could be included as that will be the deal breaker for us.  We’re a family of 4 so would need 4 seats together. Thanks

Hi there,Thanks to many friends on this site who gave me the tips for seat reservation last year.I used OBB site to make seat reservation. It was free for 1st class globe pass holder. I used my ‘2x months in a row Globe pass’ on daily basis for 61 days. That was great! It made my journey much more enjoyable. Thank you so much! I am going there again this year.I am not sure if any of you realized that OBB no longer gives free seat reservation for 1st Class holder any more. They charge 3 Euros now. (It is still cheaper than many other sites though.) I believe that this just happened (a few weeks ago).Or maybe, I didn’t find the right trick? 😀Any ideas or tips to share will be much appreciated!Thank you!

Hello lovely people,I am planning to travel in the following countries for about 18-20 days in end of May: Germany (i start here) - Switzerland - Italy - France - Belgium - End in Germany. I am planning to buy 4 global passes as i feel it is convenient to have a flexibility with the trains to be boarded. However, i have some questions that i wish to be clarified before buying these passes. Question 1: How does the boarding a train work? Can i simply board any train from one place to other (regional or high speed train)? or is it required to book the tickets on some specific website or any app to avail the pass? (of course i understand a seat reservation has to be made separately otherwise, seat is not guaranteed ). The question is about boarding the train and what to do if ticket controller appears and asks for ticket. Can i simply show the pass on my mobile?Question 2: Does this train include the city metro or trams also? If it does, the same question for boardingQuestion 3: If i buy

Hello!My husband and I have a month in France beginning mid April. We have an 8 day Eurail pass and have plotted our trip. Today I began to make the reservations where needed. But….I can’t figure out one segment, so I am looking for advice. We want to travel Caens to Paris early May. The schedule shows trains and requires reservations but I can’t figure out how to do this. Can someone explain?Much appreciated,Leanne & JohnVancouver BC Canada

Last year we travelled from Chambery Challes Les Eaux to Turin which was straight forward and took about 2 hours 40 minutes.Now when I try to plan another journey for later this year I get this crazy journey of 8 hours via Geneva and Brig (or others via Annecy) but none as straightforward as previously.Any thoughts please? When I put in a June date (when I will want to go) it says no tickets but if I try an earlier date in April or today, I get the above. I am hoping that in the winter, the route is not avaialable but come the summer the direct route will be available? Does anyone know anything about this please? Thank you.

Hi, I have already reserved a seat on the 11:04 eurostar from London to Brussels on the 2nd July a few weeks ago and today my friend tried to reserve a seat on the same train. When you try to reserve it now it doesnt come up at all on raileurope and says “Not Available” on the eurostar website. My ticket seems to still be valid though and when I look at the seats the vast majority are still available, looking at other trains that day it seems all the trains that continue to Amsterdam are “Not Available”. Is this a timetable issue or are we going to need to change to the next available train?Thank you for any help.

I want to reserve seats for a few trains, but in the Rail Planner App there stands N/A (I am using the App with German localization, so it might be different for you, but I will provide a screenshot. Screenshot of the Rail Planner App showing a trip with N/A as the value at the Reservation. 

On Eurail web site, trying to book 2 reserved seats on Frecciarossad train between Bologna and Firenze.  Looks like I can do this but I see no step to reserve specific seats or have them assigned.   Do I select seats when I board?   Would like to sort this out before I actually pay for them.Is this normal or did I miss a step?

Are subways and buses included in "CONTINUOUS Eurail passes" for transit only within urban centers? In other words, would the passes also work for subways and buses in urban centers?

Hello, I’m planning to go interrailing later on in the year and am planning on using two of my journeys for inbound and outbound travel from the UK (my home country) and just want to check if it is alright!I live in Leeds, so am planning on taking a train from Leeds to Kings Cross and then changing to get the Eurostar from St Pancras to Brussels. Then I’m planning on returning by flying into Luton Airport and taking the train back up to Leeds. My plan is to get a train from Luton Airport to St Pancras and then travel with LNER back up to Leeds. Is all of this ok and does it count as one outbound and one inbound journey? Are all of the trains I have listed included with an interrail pass?Thanks!!
