Hello everyone,I’ll start a train trip from France going to Belgium, Netherlands and Germany very soon. I’ll leave from Avignon and my last stop abroad will be Berlin. The thing is I want to come back from Berlin to Avignon but stay for a night in Strasbourg on my way back. Berlin → Strasbourg on the 18th of december. Then, Strasbourg → Avignon on the 19th. The issue is, if I understood well, I can book only one return ticket to France. So if I stop in Strasbourg for one night, the train from Strasbourg to Avignon will not be included. Right ? So, I was thinking: I can book Berlin → Karlsruhe (border with France) + Karlsruhe → Avignon…. But I’ll manage to go by myself from Karlsruhe to Strasbourg and take the train in Strasbourg, not in Karlsruhe. Is it possible ? To pick up the train in Strasbourg instead of Karlsruhe ? Like this, both trains are included in my pass.  Thanks, sorry in advance if it’s not comprehensible. 

Hello everyone,I’m hesitating between two passes: 7 days / 1 month or 10 days / 2 months.Can I buy the one for 7 days and during my trip, change for the 10 days ? Paying the difference.I’m asking cause I don’t know yet how many days I’ll travel, and I might decide on the moment. Wouldn’t like to waste money or make a wrong move. ThanksCassandre

I've got both these options showing as possible (and also changing at Chiasso for Milano). Both use a (the same!) Eurocity train for part of the route.Any views or suggestions? Thanks. I'm travelling tomorrow.

Estoy planificando mi primer viaje a Europa, me gustaria tener mas información si es conveniente esperar a que se oferten promociones durante la semana del Black Friday o mejor comprar mi pase global ahora mismo, pienso activar el pase el 15 de diciembre, pero no tengo información si al comprar mi pase durante la semana de promoción pueda tener derecho a hacer uso del paso o si las restricciones de uso son para fechas posteriores o únicamente aplicando para el 2026...

Hello,Why after the date 23th of november 2025, we need to go first to Perpignan and change train when you want to go from Barcelona to Figueres? Before the 24th of November it is possible to go directly from Barcelona to Figueres Vilafant. Strange isn't it?Thank in advance for your answer

I am looking to book a train from Tirano to Firenze (Florence) on an Interrail Pass but the results all send you back north and take 22 hours rather than via Milan - what am I doing wrong?

Hi all,I’m a German student residing in the UK on a tier 4 student visa. Over Christmas, I want to travel to Germany (and some other countries) using an Interrail Global Pass. When booking the ticket, the form asked for my country of residence. My residence country is the UK, yet, I read in the T&C that I would need to prove my residence at some point. As an EU citizen, I only have digital proof, an e-visa, to prove my residence in the UK. I also have an official document from the German authorities confirming my de-registration from my old residence and indicating my new residence in the UK. However, I don’t have physical proof from the UK authorities of my residence. In related threads, people suggested setting the country of residence to the country of citizenship (in my case Germany) instead. However, I want the one outbound and one inbound journey to apply to my actual country of residence, i.e., the UK.Has anyone dealt with a similar issue and found a solution? Thanks!

Hello if I try to plan a  TRIP FROM PATRAS TO ATHENS the planner doesn’t give any possibilities. I says to ‘cut up’ the journey bt that doesnt work neither. who can help me finding the schedules for the trip from Patras to Athens with the planner of Interrail??? Thanks

Dear fellow travelers,As a student from Stuttgart, I'm excited to be embarking on my first backpacking adventure using a Eurail Pass. However, I could use some help with a bit of confusion about the reservation process for the Bernina Express.I've added Chur to Tirano on my pass, and the Eurail website shows that I'm ready to board and can buy a seat reservation if I like, but it's not required. On the other hand, the Bernina Express website states that a seat reservation and public transport ticket are necessary for a fee, which can be purchased up to two months before the travel date. The tickets are not linked to the seat reservation and can be used independently.Now, here's where it gets tricky. Reservations for the day are completely booked, and I'm not sure whether to try and book a reservation or enjoy the journey without one. I've attached pictures of the Eurail and Bernina Express websites for your reference.As seasoned travelers, I'm hoping you can share your experiences and

I have purchased Eurail passes for our December trip, and we plan to take the Bernina Express from Tirano on December 4th.  I have checked on the Bernina Express website many times over the past 3 or so months, and I can’t find a way to make a reservation for a date past October 27.  Is there a schedule as to when I would be able to book a reservation, or am I doing something wrong?  I appreciate any guidance.

Hi all! Very specific question on a track some of you may have experience with: Bruxelles (Nord) to Köln Hbf. It says a supplement is required, but when I go to the supplement information page of Interrail, this trainroute is not listed as one which requires a supplement. Any advice? And for those who have been on this route: Is it possible to buy the supplement ticket on the train? Thanks in advance!

Can one Login to the Eurail Planner App?If so, how? If not, why?Note: The ‘answer’ given elsewhere just says that the app does not ‘sync’.  It does not state explicitly whether one can log into the app or not.Thanks,Paul

Does having a Eurail Pass mean I don't need to book tickets on the Avanti West Coast website? Can I just go to the station to reserve a seat and then take the train to my destination?The Eurail website is confusing me; I can't book seats on the Avanti West Coast. But if I buy tickets on the Avanti West Coast website, what's the point of having a Eurail Pass?My plan is to travel from London Euston to Glasgow Central in the morning, and then take the Sleeper train back to London from there.Does anyone teaching me how the process? thank you in advance.

We’re planning a trip from UK to reach the Arctic circle via Eurostar to Brussels then cologne and onto Copenhagen.then sleeper from Stockholm to Narvik.back down through Norway !anything we should look out for ?

When The Eurail pass directs you to a Lner website, it asks for a reference number to reserve seats. What number do you put? 

Hi :)we want to book a sleeping compartment for 3 persons mixed gender (family). If we book a woman’s compartment with 3 beds will it be fine for the train company or is it not allowed? It’s only us in the compartment so it doesn’t matter? 

There is no proposition of reservation except through Barcelona to go from San Sebastain/Donostia to Bordeaux

Hello, I am traveling by train in the Balkans with a 15-day pass valid in all countries. It expires in early December and I still have days left to travel. I am looking to travel from Belgrade (Serbia) to Thessaloniki (Greece) by train. This train exists in real life but not in the Interrail planner. Can I add it manually? And do I need to reserve a seat on board? Or is activating my travel day sufficient?Thank you for your help!  

Hi - I am not quite sure of the night train sleeping berths - I understand about the couchettes v the sleepers - but there are 3 of us travelling and would like to not share with others in the cabin.when I look at the OBB web site to look at booking through there, it only says that you can book a sleeper, but you may have people in it.  But then also says “book the whole compartment” but doesnt say how.When i Iook at booking through Eurail reservations it says 3 x IRT sleep.single(shower.comp) - but I cant  find any explanation of what that exactly is.  When I refer back to the OBB website, I am assuming that is 3 berths in a sleeper - but how do you book a private sleeper? Thank you for your advice.

I have a 7 day/month mobile pass.  Once we booked the 1st day (QR code) we tried to add the next day’s trip but the App won’t let us.  We can input the journey but can’t get the QR code to reserve the trains.  Haven’t tried the 3rd day.  What’s the problem?  Need answer ASAP. Thanks, mgg
