Solved

Hi everyone, I’m new here, I’m a music student from Uruguay looking for some advice for my upcoming trip.I’ll stay about a week in Croatia and a week in Germany, and maybe a few days in Austria and Czech Republic. I’m trying to understand what kind of pass or card would be the best option, and I have a few questions:Does a Eurail Global Pass include local transport, for example inside one city or connecting smaller cities? When using the tripplaner map in eurail.com, the city of Freiberg is not recognized so I wonder if there’s no connection with that city included in the Pass. If the Global Pass includes local transportation, would you recommend getting it, considering that the majority of my train rides will be inside Germany and inside Croatia? Or would it be better to get a BahnCard and pay an extra when I travel between countries? Could I get a BahnCard and a 4day Global Pass, so that I use the BahnCard in Germany and the Pass for connections between different countries? Would you

Hi allWe travel from Paris to Interlaken Ost on November 13, based on Railplanner App and SNCB App, the earliest is to take TGV 9203 from Paris 0722am to Basel, then IC1069 Basel 11.28am to Interlaken Ost. We need to reach Interlaken Ost before 2pm as we have to take bus scheduled on 2.06pm to Iseltwald.Is there any other way to make reservation for TGV9203 other than from Railplanner? Also, Railplanner showed that we can make reservation for IC1069 although it’s not mandatory. But we thought Eurail pass holders didnt require to make payment for IC trains? A bit confused now  Another questions, found that reservation fee for THV9203 is high. Please show us other route that maybe cheaper? Sorry for long post and thanks in advance. 

US citizens (wife & I) planning on traveling to 4 locations in July 2024 (London-Paris, Paris-Zermatt, Zermatt-Brussels, Brussels-London).  I want to buy 1st class pass and reservations.  How accurate are the rates listed on the Eurail reservations that pop up?   My hope is to book all reservations through Eurail’s website/app. If I cannot pick seats, how do i insure we are seated together (and would like the facing seats)? When boarding a train that doesn’t require reservations, how do you know seats have not been reserved by someone? How does the 1st class and 2nd class noted on Eurail map to the Business class, Standard Premiere class, & Standard class I read about in the comments?

I am a U.S. passport holder. My husband is a UK passport holder. We have lived in the U.S. for years. He has a green card. He is a U.S. resident. Can he qualify for a Eurail Pass because the U.S. is his home? He has no address in the UK.Thanks

Hi! May, I know which type of train from cross countries crossing and cities countries is available for Eurail tickets ? Thank you 

Hi!I have now learned that when going to München I need to search for Muenchen, and when going to Malmö in Sweden I should search for Malmo. Ok, fine, but for so many other cities I am often at loss, Münster, Köln, Åre, Ängelholm, etc etc etc, you need to fix this in your app! 

how do i add my pass to. the eurrail app? do i need to do that if i have rail planner? thanks 

I will be traveling by train in Spain mid-September through early-October. I bought my Eurail pass back in August.  I also made reservations for most of the trains I want to travel on using the Eurail website and printed out those tickets.  I can see those reservations in my account on my computer under “Reservations Overview.”I just downloaded the Eurail app to my phone and activated my pass.  I have some questions about the reservations I made.Do I need to add my reservations to the Eurail app or are the paper versions good enough?If it’s a good idea to have my reservations in the app, how do I add them?   When I set up a “Journey,” I select the train I’m going to take as an option and add it to my “Trip.”  How do I indicate that I already have a reservation?After I add a journey, I get a message that says, “To get ready to travel, tap to add this journey to your pass.”  What does that mean? I haven’t done that yet since I don’t have the reservations included. Thank you for your help

Hi, newbie here, totally frustrated. I have a Rail Pass, have been booking multiple journeys, some with confirmed paid reservations, and attaching them to our rail passes. While reviewing it all, I only just noticed that we have a five minute transfer time in Brussels, going to Bruge. Hubby is 82, I’m not not sure he can manage that, with suitcase in tow. Is there a way to change just that last leg of a multi-leg journey without affecting/messing up the two legs that Ive already paid reservations for? If I leave it as is, and we miss that train, will it be difficult to catch the next one? 

I'm currently on the Trenitalia TPER 3910 from Ancona to Piacenza. You can find it on trenitalia.com and www.lefrecce.it websites, but not in the RailPlanner, DB (Deutsche Bahn) or Rome2Rio apps. This is crazy frustrating, and makes it so difficult to plan ahead. I got to know about this train at the Ancona train station, 2 minutes before departure, and I caught it 5 seconds before it left the platform. 

I chose a 7-day Global Eurail Pass, which is called “Budget” (other options were Economy and Premium, the latter lasting a month). I selected the upgrade to first-class. When I got to the Add to Cart screen and later screens, the text said “second class”, though the price remained at the first-class price.This is very confusing. I can’t tell what I am about to buy. Why is an option listed as first class only to change to second class? 

Morning all, Complete UK newbie here and my wife and I have just planned and booked a 7 day trip round the Alps and back in a couple of weeks time.I’ve created the trip on my Interrail account on the App, and would like to copy/export (?) it to her account, rather than typing it all in again. Is that possible ?Thanks,Simon

Hi all. Please help us to decide which train schedule is better for us as we travel with toddler. We plan to leave Brugge on 11th Nov around 9am. Previously we got suggestions from this community to take IC from Brugge to Kortrijk, Kortrijk to Lille Flandres, then take TGV from Lille Flandres to Paris, as it would be many available seats from Lille Flandres and reservation fees much cheaper  But so far we checked the schedule from Rail Planner App or Belgian Train website or SNCB app or DB Navigator app, these app show that we must take Brugge to Bruxelles Midi, then take Thalys from there to Paris. If we edit the options by putting via Kortrijk or via Lille Flandres, these apps keep pointing out that we must go to Bruxelles Midi to go to Paris, resulting 4 to 5 change of train. We prefer max 2 change of train and hope to reach Paris around 1 or 2pm.We are so confused now. Please advise. 

I confess I did not expect most of my trains to offer reservations only on paper. I only finalized my plans a couple of days ago and now am trying to reserve trains beginning about ten days from now. So I have not left enough time for paper reservations to be shipped to me here (US).My trip goes to five cites in five countries. I am only staying a few nights at each stop. It seems too risky to try and ship my paper reservations to my hotels - the timing is too tight. Any delays and I will miss the shipments.If I go to the carriers’ websites, some do not ask if I already have a Eurail pass, and want to charge me for the trip in addition to the reservation. So that doesn’t seem to be economical.Already I am seeing that some trains I was planning to take show no reservations remaining (on the Eurail planning site). But this may only mean that the Eurail website cannot determine availability.Once I arrive in Europe, is it possible to book seats for international trips (Denmark to Sweden, C

My family and I are taking our very first International Trip to Denmark and Sweden this year. We arrive on December 21 and need to go straight to Gothenburg, Sweden for our reservation at Liseberg Hotel. Where do we go for the train once we land in Copenhagen Airport? How far in advance can we book?  

Hi community! I hope you´re doing fine:)I´m Daniela and I´ve been planning to start my 1st interrail in Oct 6. I bought the 7 days pass within 1 month.I live in Portugal but I´ll fly to Barcelona to start my adventure.The route I was planning: Barcelona-Paris-Brusells-Rotterdam-Amsterdam-Cologne.Unfortunately I´m having a hard time trying to understand what´s the cheaper way to go from Barcelona to Paris, since the seat reservations are a bit expensive (in my honest opinion) and it´s not possible to book from interrail website (only physically in a Spanish station, right?)I already read some posts and blogs but the alternatives are also are a bit pricey.I was wondering if you could advise me or help me find the best option, because I´m trying to spare some money when I can to keep my trip affordable.Thanks in advance!!

Hi All, I am travelling from Brussels to Paris tonight and I didn’t realise that a seat reservation is required. I thought Eurorail pass holders doesn’t require reservations. Now I got to know that all the seats are fully booked. Is it possible for me to travel without reservation? The officer told me that I have to take another ticket for travel by standing which cost 134£ per person. How can i use my eurrail pass for this trip? 

Haré un viaje junto a mis amigas para navidad (París - Bruselas - Amsterdam - Alemania - Suiza - Italia) y me pregunto si está permitido usar el pase intarrail dentro de los países, por ejemplo, si puedo ir desde Bruselas a Brujas y Gantes con ese pase, y si también está incluido el Bernina Express. Gracias

Kann ich mich mit meinem Interrailpass zusammen Italien und Frankreich bereisen?

I see your introduction how to connect trip to pass but I don’t see button Save JORNEY. What should I do ? natalie 

The information on the Eurail website says that you need to print emailed reservations. I won’t have a printer with me while traveling. Will I be able just to show the email instead of printing it?I’m new to the forum, so have been trying to catch up on the topics concerning other travelers. I was disappointed to see that experienced travelers recommend using other sites to make reservations. I was hoping that Eurail would be my “one stop shop”. 

Hi, everyoneUnforeseen train delays: What are my rights as a Eurail pass holder?"I've been experiencing frequent train delays during my Eurail journey, which has caused disruptions to my travel plans. I'm seeking advice on my rights as a Eurail pass holder and how to navigate these situations effectively.

I am traveling from Florence to Rome airport  via Roma Termini. I have a business class Eurail pass and business class seat reservation from Florence to Roma Termini on Train Frecciarossa 9391 tomorrow. I will connect to RV4624 at 13:20 in Rome to Rome Airport Fiumicino. My Eurail account says I am ready to board but I do not know if I have a seat reserved on this leg. Please let me know. 

I’ll be traveling from Zurich to Munich via rail soon, and I was wondering if I could use my Swiss GA Travelcard along with a Eurail Germany Rail Pass to complete my journey? The website says travel is only covered to Basel with the Eurail Germany Rail Pass, but could I use my GA Travelcard to cover the travel in Switzerland then use the Eurail Germany Pass to cover the border crossing and Germany travel? Thanks in advance
