Hi everyone!I am desperatly looking for train connections between France and Portugal.I am planning a trip with my son and we will be having to go back an forth a bit inbetween Lissabon/Coimbra and Biarritz/San Sebastian … or somewhere around there.The perfect connection would have been this “Southexpress” from Hendaye to Lissabon but that doesnt seem to exist anymore? And so far I couldnt find any satisfying alternative. I would love to avoid having to take a bus.The interrail-search engine doesn’t really help, as it seem to be unable to find any connections in that area.Does anyone have more informations abot this?Thanks in advance!Catharina

An itinerary was previously suggested to me for a route from Geneva to Naples, the first leg of which is Geneva to Domodossola.I am trying to book this.  Firstly, I thought because the journey starts in Switzerland, there would be no reservation fee.  Bahn.de shows a fee of €5.20 each, but I cannot proceed with the purchase,  i cant buy on obb and Rail Europe states seat reservation is to be bought at the station, quoting no fee.Firstly, how do i buy at the station?  We arrive in Geneva the night before, so could we buy it then, or must it be purchased on the day?Are there normally queues at the ticket offices at 7:00am, or are they even open?My language skills are basic, so being able to buy with minimal conversational interaction is preferable, which is why i wanted to buy onlineAdvice would be appreciated, thanks. 

Im Planning on taking the Night Train EN 443 Slovakia/ EN 406 in August 2025. I figured i have to book the seat reservation on CD but when I'm looking for the train it sends me to a "Special Page" which is the same once I pick English as the language again. Looking for the same connection in may 2025 gives me the option to book a ticket or seat reservation. Does anyone have experience if these tickets are sold out or just not yet available? Thanks in advance

Hi! I wanna travel to Italy this summer (for 1 week - Bologna, Florence, Bari) and then go to the greek islands from there (for 2 weeks). Afterwards, for two weeks I would like to travel to Italy (Venice, Triest), Croatia (Rijeka, Zagreb) and Hungary (Budapest). And from there back to my home in Germany. Which passes would you recommend? And, most importantly: which greek island pass do I need to take the ferry from Italy to Greece? Is it included in the 4 days pass / global pass or do I need the 6 days greek island pass?Thanks a lot for your help!

On a Eurail pass I bought in December, I happened to notice that in the Eurail traveller details, my birthday off by one day. It’s listed as one day too early/soon. I am pretty sure I entered my birthday correctly. I can’t figure out how to change this. Will this cause problems when I activate the pass and use it for travel?

Hi there, Can I buy a pass for me and my friend or does she need to buy the pass for herself with her own account?Thksbrgds, thom

Hi Sir,How can we do when we find out the passport is valid before we need to make the reservation for the seats?There has two people need to renew the passport.

I am thinking of purchasing a global pass as I will be travelling from Amsterdam to Germany, Austria and then Switzerland. Does the Eurail pass cover internal trips from Zurich to Zermatt? Do I get discounts for the gondola rides and trains in Zermatt?  Thanks

Hello! I am Furkan, I am currently an Erasmus student in the Netherlands and considering purchasing an Interrail Global Pass (not Erasmus Pass) to travel across Europe during my exchange period. My plan is to take multiple short trips (4-5 days each) and return to my Erasmus city in between. I will buy the 3 months in row Global Pass ticket.I understand that the Global Pass can only be used outside the country of residence, but I live very close to the German border and can reach a train station in Germany for about 4-5 euros. My plan is to purchase a ticket from my location (Netherlands) to Germany each time I travel, then use my Interrail Pass from there. I would do the same on my return journey—using my pass until Germany and buying a separate ticket back to my city. Would this travel pattern be allowed under the Interrail Global Pass rules, or would it violate any regulations?Additionally, I am a Turkish passport holder, but I currently have a Dutch residence permit valid until Oct

I’m travelling through Italy to Croatia with my family in August. We’re booked on the overnight ferry from Ancona to Split on a Friday evening and staying in Rome the night before.Please could anyone offer advice on the best route from Rome to Ancona? The obvious option is the circa 4 hour direct regional train. But there’s only one direct train that day that gets in in time for the ferry check in. So wondering whether we might be better to go via Bologna. It seems a very long way around but doesn’t take much more time and because there are lots of trains, we’d have options is trains are cancelled or delayed. And we’d bag another city and possibly some lunch in Bologna on the way. Is it sensible to go so far off the direct route though?We have first class passes so would benefit from Business class on Fercciarossa.What’s the scenery like on both routes?Any advice? Many thanks!

Hi,Ive recently started looking into interrailing. Ive decided a global pass looks most suitable for me. I want the freedom of visiting a country and deciding how long I want to stay there once Im there, instead of booking it all in advance. I worry that I might only put aside 3 - 4 days in one place, and once Im there discover I want a bit longer. Therefore, Im asking how realisitic is this? Could I book each ticket to my next distination a day or two before? And once Im out of tickets just fly back home?For reference, Im thinking of going throughout September and most of October. Thank you in advance.

Rail planner shut down now ? 

When ordering two passes which will be on separate phones do I make two orders or can they be made on one order.

Of what I understand, it’s not mandatory to book seats on all trains, but what can happen if you don’t? Is there a chance that you will have to stand?? I’m new to traveling alone and would really use some help on this, thank you.

Hello,I am interested in the “4-days travel within a month” pass.I know that for a paper pass you must mention the start date. But it is not clear to me if it is the start date of the mentionned month - and then I can chose which one are the four days within this month. Or if it is really the first day of the four days.Thank you for your answers !

So myself and a friend are heading interailling this summer. We’re hitting a LOT of countries and are very interested in outdoor pursuits such as hiking, sailing, swimming, surfing etc.Our question is two-fold;Firstly what sort of bag should we bring? Our flights come with a 20kg check-in bag, so we are torn between a suitcase and small day hiking rugsack or a backpacking rugsack or a backpacking rugsack and a day hiking rugsack.Which makes the most sense in terms of getting about from train station to hostel etc. We don’t want to be lugging a suitcase around the city for hours but on the other hand we’re not sure if giving up some of the extra storage space is worth it.It may be worth noting we will be visiting a range of climates from med to germany in early early summer. Secondly what should we pack? Is there many opportunities to wash clothes, are there any other essentials etc. Lastly how have people found sleeper trains? How much should they cost? We can get seats with our reserv
