Hi, we are a family of 4 traveling in July. Our plan is to start in Zurich, train to Venice, 2 days in Venice, train to Rome, 2 days in Rome, train to Salerno, 2 days in Salerno, train to Florence, 2 days in Florence, and then final train to Zurich.Should we be getting a Eurail pass? If we get a Eurail pass, will we have to pay anything more when we make our reservations for each routes?If we get 1st class Eurail pass, do we then have to pay extra on the individual trains or does the pass cover the cost of the 1st class seats?I’m so confused on what to do. Do I use Italiarail, Trainline, Omio??? 

Hello!I’ve been trying to book Barcelona To Nimes on May 31st  and I can’t reserve any seats. It looks like there are trains available (if I buy directly and paying full amount) but when I try to book seats only they become unavailable.  I am afraid all seat reservations will sell out when I arrive Spain. So what can I do now so as to get the seat reservations? Thanks everybody! 

I am searching Vienna to Krakow and find EC106 at 8:10.  It runs directly from Vienna to Krakow, but the only way it appears in the planner is with 2 changes.  Both OBB and RailEurope show the direct train, and RailEurope says it’s available the pass, and with no seat reservation required.  I guess I can just insert it manually (doesn’t look difficult), but hard to understand why to direct route does not appear.  I have checked multiple dates.  We’ve traveled multiple times with Eurail Global and never encountered this…..any comments?

We are travelling through Europe from June 5 to July 1 and our itinerary is very flexible. If we buy the pass for 7 travel days can we use it randomly based on where our travels take us as we may want to use flights and train as the mode of travel   

My boyfriend and I will be traveling from Brasov to Vienna taking the night train around the 15th of AprilBut I cannot, for the life of me, find where to make the reservations for a bed. I have already tried the OBB website but it says ‘ticket not available’ over and over again… On the Romanian website I can’t seem to add my rail pass while booking… Anyone who can help me is a life saver!

Hello!  Besides the Rail Planner app, what other apps helped you organizing the whole trip (Accomodation reservation, train schedule and reservation, other ways of transport, etc…)  Thank you!  

Puh, nun habe ich eine neue Reise auf der Webseite angelegt und zwangsweise mit dem Pass verbunden (den ich noch nicht aktiviert habe!). Ich hoffe, das gibt keine Probleme? Irgendwie muss man ja eine Ordnung reinbringen, um nicht den Überblick zu verlieren. Kann ich mehrerre Reisen mit meinem Pass auf meine Person anlegen, oder muss ich alles in eine Reise packen? Und wenn es so wäre, kann ich dann einfach eine Reise löschen?Warum muss das so kompliziert sein …. 

Wie kann ich einzelne Fahrten aus der Meine-Reise-Maske wieder löschen? Es werden sonst unübersichtlich viele Einträge und ich bekomme später zum Codegenerieren Probleme beim Finden.

Hi! Sitting in the station, train goes in 15 min. Seat Reservation already done. Can Not find the connection in the app. Can Not add a travelling day. Shit!!please Help! 

Hi everyone,  I read somewhere that the train from Turin to Aosta in Italy is closed now. Can someone confirm this, or have more information please?

HI - I am looking at a 4 day pass in August to travel in Italy and then to Switzerland - I assume once I have bought the pass I then go ahead and book the trains - but how close to the time is it best to book?  Also, I have noticed on some of the journeys there is a change - this is not a problem, but some of the change times are like 9 minutes - if I miss the train am I ok getting the next one.  I have heard stories you could get charged extra for not being on the right train

Hello I am trying to book a reservation for the Berlin -  Budapest Night train for 22 July. Since early Jan the OBB/Nightjet websites show it is “booked up” for that date indeed it looks like it is fully booked from 21 June to 28 July, however there seems plenty of availability before and after those dates. I have also been checking the MAV website and the train doesn’t appear at all on the 22 July (previously it said tickets were not available). Is it possible at this stage that those dates are booked up or is it just that they haven’t been released as yet? Any advice gratefully received!.  

Hello! My name is Andreea, I’m 19 years old, and I’m a girl living in Italy. My friend Giulia, who is also 19, and I are planning an Interrail trip this summer (late July/August), and we’re looking for people to join us. We’ll be starting in Zurich, then traveling to Amsterdam, Berlin, and possibly Krakow or Warsaw. After that, we’ll visit Prague, Vienna, and Budapest, but we’re open to changes along the way.I speak English, Italian, Romanian, and a little Russian, so feel free to reach out if you’re interested or have any questions. You can contact me on Instagram at @andr.ee.a.

I’m looking at going from Wroclaw to Torun and while there is a direct train, it’s at 6.50am and actually takes longer than journeys with a change. Faster routes later on (albeit more expensive) have a 15- or 16-minute change in Poznan - from Plat. 5 track 1 to Plat. 11 track 56 or Plat. 8 track 51 to Plat. 1 track 16. I’ve looked at a map of the station on the PKP website, but I’m not convinced either way (also because most journey searches for Poland show short connections). Also, I prefer to make a seat reservation for the second train (the first is mandatory SR). The trip will be in mid-June, but I’m hoping these routes/times are more or less what will be available then as well. Any personal experience of changing at Poznan Glowny much appreciated, thanks.

Hello,May I use Global pass for S1,S2,S3 in Leipzig ?Thank You

Hola, mis amigas y yo tenemos el pase Flex para hacer el Interrail este verano. Hemos organizado ya los trenes y queríamos reservar los asientos. Pero en la mayoría nos pone una notificación en rojo de que no hay resultados de precios para reservar el tren pues es posible que se hayan agotado. Sin embargo, desde HelpCenter me han dicho que eso no pasa nada, que continúe con mi reserva. Pero ya no sé qué hacer. Que alguien me ayude por favor. 

Hi, Good day to everyone. We are a family of 3 and would be travelling to Europe in May . Our tentative itinerary includes 2 nights in Zurich, then 3 nights each in Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt and Luxembourg. I am thoroughly confused with EURAIL global pass routes . Some have said that the ticket officer has denied validity of EURAIL pass in ICE trains for intercity within Germany. Should I buy separate tickets for inter country travel and take a EURAIL Germany pass . But , that again does not include trams and buses . Also, Should I book seat reservations in advance ? I checked through this website . It said seat reservation is not mandatory. Any advice would be helpful since I have one senior person with me and it would be difficult if there are any last minute issues. Regards.

Hi,I’m an Erasmus student from Germany currently in France. I’m living here from January until May in student accomodation, but I also still have my home address in Germany and will of course live in Germany for the majority of the year. Therefore, my question is whether I can use the one country pass for France while I’m here in France since I technically live here but it also isn’t really my country of residence.

Hello! I am planning a trip for the summer. I would like to train from London to Istanbul, in approximately 2 weeks, and stop in maybe 3-4 places on the way. Happy to use overnight trains. Travelling alone so safety is key. Any advice on routes would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hello everyone 😎 I am planning a 2 month trip next year to France, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. I am travelling totally by train.With the Global Pass /Continuous 2 month Pass, does that mean it is used from major cities between countries eg Zurich to Vienna to Paris and so on or can it  be also used in say Austria, where I will be for 10 days, between all the towns I want to visit?Hope I explained this well enough to followSue 

There is a national rail strike scheduled for 19 March 2025 in Italy, which is one of our travel days.I’m not sure what happens about ticket validity if we can’t travel on that date and have to do so on another day.We have reserved seats on a particular train (Messina to Palermo) and this constitutes one of our travel days - I’ve already filled in details on our paper Global First Class travel passes.The rules on travel days seem to be quite strict - do we lose that day’s travel?If we spend money on another train do we have to claim that on travel insurance?

SalveSto cercando di prenotare i posti per l’interrail direttamente dal sito. Seleziono tutti i treni che mi interessano e quando vado in fase finale mi da sempre un errore  Spiacenti, si è verificato un errore. Non siamo riusciti a salvare i tuoi dati. Riprova o contatta il Servizio Clienti se il problema persiste. Non riesco a proseguire Inoltre vorrei sapere se c’è una modalità online di prenotare i posti per le tratte gestite da Eurostar in quanto sia da sito loro che dal portale non riesco. Grazie

Hello! I have used these passes before but this time - it just seems more confusing so I hope someone can help.1. On this site - it asked if I wanted to generate a pass cover to use on trains trains - sure?. What is a pass cover? This is different than my Eurail Global Pass so what is this for? Can I book directly on other train sites?2.Also - I already worked out my itinerary and bought my tickets - can I still make a trip plan so I can see it more organized on this site (as well as that I bought some tickets through RailEurope)? 3.My trips show up on laptop but not on app - suggestions? ​​​​​​​THANKS!

Hi, my name is Jonathan and today I found out that I got the EU Pass, and tbh I have no idea where to go. I love Italy (born there) and I go there sometimes, but I feel like I should see something new. I’m from Warsaw, Poland and I will be travelling alone. Also my budget is very low ;p 

I’ve read other questions and answers on the topic of strikes, including great info about guaranteed travel on weekdays and holidays, but haven’t seen anything yet about Saturday travel.  We plan to travel from Innsbruck to Ponte Gardena-Laion on Saturday, 8 March, with a train change to RV 3843 in Brennero at 13:00.  I expect we need to plan a different arrival day in Italy from Austria?  We have a flex pass.
