I cannot even start describing how complicated it has been to plan my travel to Spain! I wanted to book on the eurrail app 2 weeks in advance but I could not book the Spanish train from France to Spain because they only work with paper tickets (?!) and they assumed that 10 working days would not be enough for them to arrive. I the called Renfe, SNCF and in a desperate attempt even Deutsche Bahn to try to book these seat reservations. Nothing. Went to a train station in one of the major cities in Italy, they also couldn’t help. So basically there was no way that I could book the seat reservation even though there were places available. I had to leave it up to chance and hope that once in France I could book the seat reservation. Turns out that even though there were second class tickets available at full price, there were none to be reserved for interrail passes (are there quotas ?). Some hours later understanding how complicated it is to travel with the regional trains (2+ days of trav

Hi!I have a interrail global flexi pass and have a question regarding my last inbound journey back home to my country of residence (Germany).I am planning on taking a train from Copenhagen to Stuttgart. The train in Copenhagen leaves at 10.43 p.m. on Sunday, there will be a transit in Hamburg again at 5.31 a.m. on Monday. Then, I plan to take the last train at 5.46 a.m. from Hamburg to Stuttgart (final destination).I do realize that this will count as 2 travel days, as I make the last transit in Hamburg after midnight. However, as this will be my inbound journey, will my pass cover the Hamburg to Stuttgart journey, or will I need to pay an additional ticket? As I understand, I am allowed one inbound journey back to my home country, but are multiple transits in my home country included here? Also, I am unsure about the ruling regarding the midnight rule, as my inbound journey starts the day before and ends one day later.Would greatly appreciate any helpful comments!

Hey there! I want to go from Sofia to Skopje but there is apparently no train connection at all. Can I take a bus then with my interrail ticket?  

Hello everyone,My friends and I are planning an interrail trip for this summer (4th-28th July)!We found on lots of websites (e.g rail.cc) the mention of a night train from Thessaloniki to Belgrade on an interrail line, but on the official interrail website can only find the Belgrade to Thessaloniki night-train (Hellas express)!Ideally we want the reverse route of this train. Does anyone know if it exists, like other websites state, or alternatives if it no longer does?Thank you,Lexi

Hello,This was already asked a few times, but my case is a bit more special.I have a youth pass, but because of Corona I couldn't travel, like neither of you.The thing is I bought it while it was on sale, for only 201€. And I bought plus. I accepted the reduced offer and could not use it due to force majeure. I was basically caught with the offer and still have to pay the regular price? I thought until today that the validity was extended. I wanted to activate the pass today but it didn't work. Customer service is not responding and my trip starts on August 5th.I just want to know how much money I have to budget for the regular pass.I have a mobile pass, youth, plus.plus Thank you!

Like many others I also broke my phone and need to change my mobile pass to a new device. I tried everything, the form, chatbox, and facebook messenger, this is my last resort. I need to travel in 1.5 days and I am panicking. I have gotten no response from eurail so far and I don’t know what to do. Please help!! 

Hello I have seen on many topics that it is possible to get the country of residence changed if the pass is mobile and not activated.My mobile pass is not activated and the country of residence is wrong. Please help me solve this issue.Thanks a lot Regards

Hi, Im making plans for my travel days during my trip. However im not 100% sure what train i want to board on one of my travel days in advance. Is it possible to change my ticket and the train i want to board during the particular travel day? And if so how? 

Hi everyone - I’ve purchased my Eurorail pass and it is activated as I have a strict schedule with hostels booked as well as other events, all in a short amount of time. I’m not worried about plans changing - as I intend to take trains everywhere and only have 2 flights with lots of time before I start on the trains. What I am just wondering is Now that I my Global 10 day in 2 month Eurorail pass:*How do I book the seat reservations?*With direct train operators?  OBB for instance gives me the option of “One-way tickets and day tickets or Seat only (no ticket)” ~ what do I choose?*And what is the purpose of the Eurorail pass then?I’m from Canada and we don’t use trains here. Below are the dates and locations so if anyone could please provide with direct links or information - I’d really appreciate it. It would be a very expensive mistake if I booked/reserved the wrong seat. Thank you in advance Berlin Germany, to Warsaw on Oct 12- Warsaw to krakow Oct 14,Krakow To Prague Czech Republic 

Hi, First time Interrail Global Pass user here. My plans include a flight on the last travel day:Morning: Trains from Belgium to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport on SNCB and NS. (Not Thalys.) Afternoon: Flight från Amsterdam to Stockholm. Evening: Train from Stockholm Arlanda Airport to Stockholm Central on Arlanda Express.Country of residence is Sweden so this day will be my “inbound” travel day.My question: Will the Global Pass cover all trains 1 and 3? Or is there a problem that the journey has a big “gap” in the middle, from the flight?Thanks!Anders

Hello,I want to travel from Madrid to Bordeaux. I found good train from Madrid to Irún (Spanish border) and from Hendaye (french border) to Bordeaux.Irun and Hendaye train stations are like 3 km apart. Is there no train between them? Or busses?The only trains I found on rome2rio are badly timed.Any experience about this?When you search Madrid-Bordeaux it suggests you via Barcelona/ Narbonne. That's a huge detour.Thank you!

Hi, everyone, today when I looking for the Germany rail pass, I came across the Eurail website and found the Eurail Global Pass. After I compare the price of both with the same conditions, the price confused me, the Eurail global pass is cheaper. Despite my destination being Germany, I would also want to visit Salzburg(Austria). I know both types of pass cover Salzburg(a border city), but which one should I choose? And what is the difference between them if I mainly travel to Germany? 

I am planing a trip with a friend and we would like to sit together on the train. We have 8 trains in France that require seat reservations.  We both have purchased Eurail 1-country passes for France. I can figure out how to get reservations for myself but not for both of us. I read the information on the Eurail site and it does not seem to match what I see on my screen. Would anyone be willing to help out on a phone call or zoom/screen share to help be get past this obstacle? Thanks!!!! Nancy

Hi everyone!We are having some problems booking seats fromBudapest. The eutrail site says that we can not book ourseats because it is a paper ticket and it must bedelivered, but it won't arrive on time. We need the ticketfor our journey back home (from Budapest to Milan) on13rd August.We tried to choose other trains from Budapest, but theproblem remains (apparently every train leaving fromBudapest needs a paper ticket); we also tried to write theaddress of our hotel in Budapest (as the messagesuggests), but again the problems remains (it says itwon't arrive on time, too).Could you please suggest us a solution? We really need away to come back home that day.Thank vou in advance ♥️

So we are sitting on a train from Berlin-Paris with changing in offenburg and Strasbourg. We have made a reservation on Berlin-offenburg and Strasbourg-Paris.Now the train is running late so we gonna miss the change. Is my resevation from Strasbourg-Paris refundable or not?I'm thinking of booking another reservation just in case, but I don't wanna have 2 reservations in case we make the first one if it's not fully refundable.I booked the reservation with InterRail.eu site. 

My friend and I are thinking about getting a first class interrail pass for our trip. However, it seems like the majority of the train connections we will go on require a seat reservation where we can choose between first and second class. If that is the case for us, does it even make a difference whether we have a first or a second class interrail pass?

Hi, in my app I’ve chosen to travel mostly with trains that do not require seat reservations. I tried to book a seat for one of them (specifically through DB site) because in the website was written that the reservation was recommended, however once I tried to pay it told me it was impossible to book. Since this train in the app  doesn’t need any reservation, can I still get on and just stand instead?

Good morning,I am trying to purchase a paper pass. I want to take my first train on 6th August. However, the delivery time is expected before 8th August. Althought I am confident that I will get it sooner (2 months seems exagerately long time), I cannot put the starting date on 6th August, but only after the delivery date.Any tips on how to solve that?
