Hi! We’re looking to travel from Matera to Rome via Interrail pass end of September this year. We have a one country interrail pass. There only seems to be one route available on the planner (which doesn't seem right?) … and it’s saying you can’t book the reservation through interrail. Does anyone know how we can do it or the best and easiest way? do you HAVE to book reservations? Any help or advice gratefully received! Georgia 

I finally understand the difference between trips and journeys, but I can't work out how to produce my ticket.

I am not seeing any night trains in the Eurail app. There are no Intercity Notte in Italy at all (e.g. Milan to Bari), and nothing from Paris to Nice. I also tried SCNF and trenitalia's sites but nothing came up. Are they all cancelled or am I missing something? 

Je suis très inquiète car j’ai commandé et payé un Pass Interrail le 8 juillet dernier. Un mail m’indique que la commande a été expédiée le 10 juillet et que je dois la recevoir pour le 28 juillet maximum et que cette réception se fera contre signature. Or nous sommes le 6 août, je pars le 13 août et je n’ai toujours pas reçu mon Pass.Le lien de suivi du colis indique que l’envoi n’a pas été livré car l’adresse est incorrecte. Or j’avais très correctement et très précisément renseigné mon adresse sur le site Interrail. Il est compliqué de contacter le transporteur et aucune information sur la date de livraison. Je suis très inquiète. Quelqu’un a-t-il connu pareil situation ?

I will be leaving the UK with my interrail pass and I have the Eurostar journey booked. Do I also need to book the journey that takes me to London or can I just board and show the app pass?Thanks!Dunja

Hello,I would like to take the train from Belgrade to Bar this month. According to the Rail Planner, there is a day train departing from Beograd Centar at 09:45 and arriving in Bar at 21:10.My plan is to spend one night in Bar and take the return train at 09:00 the next morning, which is scheduled to arrive in Beograd Centar at 20:17.However, I'm a bit confused because I read in some articles that only the night train is operating. These articles are a bit outdated, so I'm not sure if that’s still the case.So my first question is: Is the day train currently running this month?Another point of confusion is that some sources mention the train does not depart from Beograd Centar, but from a different station in Belgrade. Could you please clarify whether the train actually departs from Beograd Centar, as shown in the Rail Planner?And finally, I’ve read that this train route is often heavily delayed. Given this, do you think my plan — taking the day train to Bar, spending one night there, a

Hi everyone, Hope to find some answers here! At the moment I am Interrailing. I started my journey 23-07 and my pass is valid till 23-08.  I used 5/7 travel days and used 1/3 inbound/outbound. My current plan is:traveling from Lienz to Vienna on august 9th. I'll leave in the morning and arrive somewhere afternoon; take the night train from Vienna to the Netherlands. It departs around 8PM and arrives the 10th of august in the morning.Taking above info in considering: do I spent all my days with this plan? Or do I still have a day left since my night train in an inbound journey? I am asking this because I am thinking about leaving Lienz earlier and stay for another night in Salzburg, and from Salzburg traveling to Vienna and then take the Night train (since my reservation for the night train is already booked).thank you in advance! 

Hello, I want to travel from Bucharest to Sofia this month. There is a train (IR 461) with mandatory seat reservation that departs at 10:11 from București Nord. The problem is that I have to take this train, and I will arrive in Bucharest one or two days beforehand. Is that enough time to get a seat reservation in person?

Is this train OK to just turn up for? Are we likely to get on?!

Hello,We're still learning about the inbound/outbound travel concept and would appreciate clarification. We're located in Northern Germany and want to visit Trieste as first stage, which would involve a very long journey.Would it be possible to break up our trip by taking the night train from Northern Germany to Augsburg (which is still within Germany), spending a day there, and then continuing to Trieste on a separate day?For our return journey, we'd like to do the same thing in reverse - travel to Augsburg, stay there briefly, and then complete the final trip back to Northern Germany on another day, since this would also be quite a long single journey.Is this type of multi-stage itinerary allowed under the in- and outbound travel rules?Thanks and best regards,Thorsten 

To the Eurail/Interrail community,I’m planning a trip to Switzerland and getting there via The Black Forest (Schwarzwald) in south west Germany.I would appreciate any travel ideas - I’d be interested in stopping off in a nice town but I’m really keen to get outdoors and do some hiking. Anywhere with easy train access would be good.Thanks,Felix

Hi, I’m setting off next week with a 7 days in one month global pass, and as part of the trip, I have booked a reservation to travel overnight from Zurich to Prague. This is a sleeper train as far as Linz, then a change around 6.30 for the train to Prague. Will this count as one travel day, because it was all booked together, or two travel days, because it’s two trains? If it counts as one travel day, then I’ve been alerted that engineering work means I may miss the connection I have reserved, but there are a couple of options later that will get me there with no reservation. I assume this definitely counts as a second travel day??Thanks!

Hi, I'm so confusing...  I don't understand if I have to use my interrail pass ticket ( 7 trip in one months) or Is there  another pass to activate to come back in my country (Italy)?For example I finish my interrail at Genova, in Genova can I activate the pass to come back in Rome or not?Thank you I Hope someone answers me

I have my day's journey setup, but I can't get my ticket generated. 

We are due to travel today from Preston - London - Paris -Cannes but have had an email from Eurostar advising us not to. I presume I will lost my seat reservations and will have to rebook? There will belittle to nothing available if everyone gets pushed back a day. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions? If I travel to London that will use one of my “home” travel days so would I have to pay again?  

I’ve got a reservation from Venezia S. Lucia via Milan P.Garibaldi to Paris Gare De Lyon on Sat 30th. This train stops in Verona. Can I just board the train in Verona instead of Venezia S. Lucia or do I need to change the reservation?

Hello!  I’m trying to book a private sleeper compartment on a European Sleeper train.  The Eurail app is not giving me the option to do this:  I can pay for a reservation for a private sleeper on the European Sleeper web site.Do I need to select a 2nd class seat so that I can generate a train ticket, and then just use my sleeper reservation, or how do I do this without getting a fine for doing it incorrectly?Thank you!

I’m struggling with trying to figure out if a 4 day Greek Island Ferry Pass will be useful. As a non-European (Canadian) I understand that I cannot use an Interrail pass, rather we need a Eurail pass. To purchase the pass is quite easy but I don’t want to do that until I’m sure that my routes would be included.When I enter my first leg into the trip planner (Athens to Aegina) It gives me this message: “Sorry, we can’t show this entire journey. You can try to split it up into multiple journeys”.It’s a very short (30 minute) ferry trip so I don’t understand why it would need to be split. As well, the Eurail splash page shows Aegina as one of the Greek Islands I can sail to with the pass. I am specifically looking to travel:September 23 - Athens to AeginaSeptember 26 - Aegina to NaxosOctober 2 - Naxos to Heraklion, CreteIf anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance.

Nous sommes 2 complètement novices avec Interrail et l’informatique, donc besoin d’aide pour préparer voyage en train de Toulouse à Stockholm. D’après nos recherches, il semblerait que les étapes soient :  -Toulouse/Paris -Paris / Hambourg -Hambourg / Copenhague -Copenhague / Stockholm (soit 4 trajets, c’est bien ça?)Puis retour par le même trajet = 4 trajets supplémentaires; donc pass global 10 jours, c’est bien ça?Question 1 : le trajet de Toulouse à Hambourg, compte-t-il pour 1 seul jour ou 2 jours? (exemple : si on prend un train de nuit de Toulouse à Paris, la suite du trajet de Paris à Hambourg démarre sur un 2e jour ou compte pour le même 1er jour?)Question 2 : idem pour le retourQuestion 3 : quelqu’un aurait-il déjà fait ce trajet et si oui, quelles sont vos suggestions?Merci merci! 

I am going on a trip soon and will be using the mobile pass for the first time. I read and watched the video on how to use the mobile pass but it was very fast moving, even pausing and re-watching. I have the 7 days in a month mobile pass.12 years ago I had a paper Eurail pass, again for 7 days in a month, I simply picked the train I wanted, by writing the train and route on paper, and hopped on. Sometimes I even boarded the train first, sat down, then wrote down the name of the train I was on after departure. Is it still that simple? I don’t know why but it makes me very nervous because it seems a lot more complex, with hard deadlines on when to book and choose a train. I see ‘up to 24 hours’ etc. I am now a family of 4 and imagine myself frantically trying to link the train I need for 4 people at the last second, or trying to activate the day too early and losing one of my days. I’ll be in Italy and Switzerland. Most of the trains I am taking need reservations, which I already got th

As a single woman travelling how safe is it with the sleepers trains? Any top tips would be greatly appreciated 👏 

Hi guys,I’m organizing my first trip in the Baltics and I was thinking about moving with LuxExpress, since trains are not the best around there. I was considering a night-bus from Warsaw to Vilnius and then day buses for Vilnius-Riga-Tallinn. Someone more experienced than me can please tell me if LuxExpress is a good company? How are the night-buses and the buses in general? Most importantly, is it safe to book now for August? And finally, how can I get a discount if I’m less than 26 y/o?I’m more accustomed to trains so I have no clue of how buses are or work… 😅Thank you very much in advance

We are travelling as a 6 next week (from 11th) around Italy and France. On the first day we have booked an overnight train and on the last day we have booked a fast train. On the other 3 days of travelling we are taking it easy and taking the day to travel on slow trains. Am I being naive by not booking trains for those days? I understand that not all trains can be booked but I don’t want to get caught without a train to get on.Any advice would be great.

It’s my last of my 7-day train  within my 30 Day Interrail Pass, but not the last of the 30-day range.I’m leaving Oslo at 15:45 and will arrive in Hamburg at 05:58 in the morning.To get to Frankfurt, I’ll need to book a separate ticket, since it’s not included in my pass. Is that right?Thank you

I’m trying to book tickets for my family on a Eurail 1st class pass.I’m looking to go Spiez → Venezia San Lucia on 11th October 2025.When I look for reservations on Eurail website/app, it tells me I can’t reserve the Spiez → Milano Centrale leg due to lack of availability. (both 07:44 service - EC 61, and 08:44 service - EC 43)Similarly, if we left earlier and got the regional train to Brig, it won’t let me reserve the Brig → Venezia EC 41 service (07:41 → 12:42).When I look at OBB, it brings up the 07:44 service from Spiez, via Milan, but states that the reservation is only for the Milano → Venezia leg. The 08:44 service states that it is booked up already! If I try to look at the same route via RailEurope, it doesn’t come up with any trips at all!!Any ideas about how to navigate this? My understanding is that the EuroCity services from Switzerland to Italian destinations do need reservations, but nothing seems to be coming up. Is it likely that all these services are already booked,
