Hi. Im going to Lisbon in October. I'm right now trying to book the seats for a travel 21st of October from Madrid to Lisbon. It seems like there are no direct connections or just connections that are reasonable (up to 2 stops). Does any of you know of better connections between the two cities? Best wishes Agnethe (Denmark).

Hi, I am planning on using my interrail pass across northern Spain next month, but according to the planning app, many of the routes take a ridiculously long time, eg. Oviedo to Santander = 6 hrs 37min and Santander to san sebastian 9 hrs 30 min. San sebatian to Bilbao = 4hrs 38.It looks like part of the issue is the route given involve traveling a significant distance inland, changing at Palencia, and then traveling back to the coast.   Is this right.  Should I just get bus tickets?  Any advice?

Just bought a “10 trips over 2 months” pass (23/07/25) and would now like to book trains and seats for our upcoming trip starting December 2025. No trains come up. Is it too early to book ? If so, when can I start ?

Hello! I’m planning my first Interrail journey. Firstly I want to go from Kutno, Poland (my residence country) to Munich, Germany. I’d like to use this connection:IC 5420 Hutnik from Kutno (18:50) to Czechowice-Dziedzice (23:23)IC 407 Chopin from Czechowice-Dziedzice (00:07) to Munich (10:24)If I will add in app that I virtually “entered” the Chopin train in Oświęcim (23:45), one station earlier, would it count that I used only one travel day (outbound from my residence country)? Or the train staff will see that this change is not possible and will give me a fine? Thanks for your replies.

I am traveling with family to Europe in December.  We are flying into London, traveling to Amsterdam, Germany, and Belgium.  It will be an 18 day trip.  I’m looking at the pass options and wondering how many days we should get, 10 or 15 knowing we won’t be traveling Christmas or Christmas Eve.  Will prices go down at all closer to travel time or keep going up?  When is the best time to buy them?

Hi everyone, we have a connection to make between a Paris-Mannheim train and a Mannheim-Berlin train. We can either choose a 16 minutes connection or a 1h and 15 minutes. The platforms are right next to each other so 16 minutes should be fine but I'm not sure to trust the French train company to arrive to Mannheim on time. Seats reservation for Mannheim-Berlin is not mandatory (neither recommended). In case we book seats for the first connection but miss it, would we easily get on the next train? Thanks for your help, Lou-Anne 

I used up all my travel days on the first pass that I bought, so I got a second one.  Now I can’t seem to find the option to update it on the app.  Does anybody have experience with this?  Thanks in advance!

I have a country pass for Austria. When I create a new trip linked to my pass (not activated yet), I thought the app would let me know if my pass is not valid in parts of the trip. However, it doesn’t show anything, even if I add a trip completely outside of Austria, eg from Paris to Barcelona.Therefore, and as I was unable to find clear information about this:If I travel on the Railjet from Austria to Bratislava, is the ticket valid to Bratislava, or do I need an additional ticket from Vienna to Bratislava?

Ola. We are planning a trip for November - December 2025 to Norway, and we are inspired by the proposed trip "Norway in winter", passing through Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim and Bodo. But using the planner it is impossible to visualize the journeys... for example Oslo-Bergen or Bergen-Bodo... Can anyone tell me why? and are there any train connection problems? because on the Norwegian site it seems that many journeys are replaced by buses.And final question: is it a good idea to plan “Norway in Winter” for this end of the year?Thank you very much in advance for the answers.  

I'm trying to book reservations on this train and got this message.  Does this means there are no seats avaialble? It says seat reservations are not required.

Hi all! When I embark on a trip from Budapest to Cluj, I will pass Oradea. It looks like a very beautiful art noveau city that I'd like to check out, but I am unsure how long I should stay there. I could also check out Debrecen or other towns in the region. Does anyone have recommendations or must-see's in this region between Hungary and Romania?

Hey, in august i will be interrailing for the 1st time with 2 other friends, i was making the seat reservations until I stopped because I didn't know how to continue A train according to Interrail requires seat reservations, but they're no longer available on the Interrail website, so I go to the site listed under "more information" -> the Czech site.However, the site doesn't have this train (perhaps because Interrail doesn't support this organization, so it doesn't cover the train?).The Czech site (where seat reservations must be made) shows a train from 3:16 PM to 7:23 PM with train number EC 177. While Interrail shows a train from 2:47 PM to 7:23 PM with the same train number.- Both stations and dates are the same.How is this possible? And how am I supposed to make seat reservations? Just on the Czech website? Since they're the same train numbers, are they thereby also the same trains? i hope i made my story clear bye

HI!We are booking a 4 tickets with my family (2 adults+2 kids 11 and 14 years old) from Budapest to Paris and we have 2 tight transfers:18 july9H55 RJX 62 Budapest16h34 MuenchenTime transfer: 10 min16h46 ICE 592 Muenchen18h43 StuttgartTime transfer: 9 min18h52 TGV 9570 Stuttgart22h13 ParisWe don’t have any experience travelling with interrail. Is is possible to achive and take those trains or it’s imposible. We need some advice…Many thankscesc

When making bookings, I see the whole trip, book seats where necessary, then pay. The ticket only shows the paid part of trip. So do I just show my pass to get on the rest of the trains?

I'm trying to plan on the app a journey from Verona to sillian , in osttirol (austria). The shortest way is through the italian Pustertal (Bressanone/ Fortezza/ Brunico/ San candido/ sillian). The app apparently ignores this way and shows only a way trough innsbruck and woergl that takes much more time (+ 1 day).Anyone knows why?Thank you very much

Hola si quiero realizar la reserva de asientos con mi pase de primera clase en un tramo que dice reserva de asientos requerida, pero al ingresar solo figuran los importes de segunda clase y no la de primera, esto quiere decir que no necesito reservar? Tengo asegurado mi lugar?

Buongiorno,un mese fa abbiamo fatto la prenotazione (purtroppo solo cartacea!) per un treno Eurocity Milano - Friburgo. Il biglietto pare fermo a Bologna e non ci è ancora arrivato !! Cosa possiamo fare? Come procedere?Grazie

Hi, I just saw this in the FAQs. We live in Bristol in the UK. Does this mean on my outbound trip we can travel from Bristol to London to Amsterdam (our first trip) but on our way home we can only travel from Paris to London (our last trip) and have to fund our travel from London to Bristol ourselves?  Your outbound journey can be used to travel from any location in your country of residence. Your inbound journey can be used to travel back to your country of residence. 

Bonjour, J’ai prévu 2 trajets, un de Paris à venise et l’autre de berlin à paris. Ma question concerne les trains sans réservation de place assise. Pour ces 2 trajets, qui ont des correspondances, une partie a été réservée avec réservation de place assise et une autre partie non. En effet, il était indiqué que la réservation de place assise n’était pas obligatoire. Hors les trajets sans réservation ne sont pas visible sur mon compte.  Comment se déroule un trajet sans réservation de place assise ?

I have a ticket for today, July 19 2025, from Amsterdam Central to Dusseldorf Germany at 14:01. I bought a seat reservation through the Rail Planner app, but it did not give me a choice of seats. I do not like the seat it picked so how do I modify my seat number? Is there a way to get a forward facing seat? 

I’m an Interrail newbie. I have reserved tickets from London to Strasbourg, but it says no reservations are needed for the rest of the journey to Basel. When I try to book it, it says You’re ready to board. So how do we get tickets? Do we have to go out to the ticket desk and show our passes to get tickets? Or do we just get off the train from Paris and get on the one to Basel without having any tickets? And when we have other journeys where no reservations are required (eg Basel-Chur), do we just go to the ticket counter and show our passes, and they will issue us tickets? Sorry, all basic stuff I know, but I can’t find the info on the website. Thanks!

Hello, I have read several articles about using inbound/outbound days but it is still quite confusing for me. I am from the Czech Republic and I have 2 questions:1) I have a valid interrail pass up to 7 August, I will spend my last travel day (of 5) on 26 July by reaching Nurnberg (Germany), Am I entitled to use my inbound day on 27 July to get back to Prague? E.g. with a change of train in Germany or Czech station if there is no direct connection to Prague in selected time? 2) I know there is written several times that inbound/outbound days are not extra days but it is still not clear enough for me... Can you confirm me, please, that this sentence is the true in the described situation: I have a valid interail pass but I have already spent my travel days. However, I still have inbound and outbound days left. Is it true that I cannot use them if I have already spend all my travel days? E.g. I would like to do a trip to Dresden and back using my inbound and outbound days after a break i
