Solved

Hi everyone, We have a week in Portugal (Carvoeiro) booked in August and I’ve got a global pass to get down there and back again - there are 3 of us; me, my husband and my 11 year old son. I was thinking Paris - Barcelona - Seville and then bus along the south coast to Carvoeiro. But starting to think that Seville in August might be a bad idea heat-wise, and actually I’d really like to visit some of the northern cities like Bilbao and Santander.I was just wondering if someone had any experience and advice of a route we could take - I’d quite like to spend 2 or 3 nights in each city if possible, and then take a different, possibly more direct, route home. Any advice about good routes would be really welcome; we’re very open to sleeper trains and happy to pay seat reservations for high speed trains. Many thanks everyone!

Hey ! Good morning to you all, new to this interail adventure. There's one thing I don't understand. I would like to book a sleeper train between hamburg and stockholm, but when I go to the booking page I am only offered a seat and no sleeper. I looked carefully on the company's website and they say that sleepers are available...can you help me? 

I am looking for trains from Rome to Frankfurt with minimal transfers on June 20, 2025 without many transfers. I think I would need a seat reservation because the train starts in Italy, and if so where do I do this, and how would I ensure I get a reservation so I could sit near a friend as well? We both have global Eurail/Interrail passes. Any recommendations for specific trains/routes/times? 1 day travel would be amazing, but I am also open to staying overnight along the way and continuing the next day for a more relaxing journey. Any suggestions for a 1 day route and/or 2 day route for this journey? Thanks for any help and ideas!

Why would a train leaving Luxembourg to Brussels at 4pm be listed as +1 travel day? But not leaving at 2pm ? 

I see advice to make reservation directly on GWR site and show the Eurail QR code when checking in. When I go to the GWR site to book, I have to pay to complete it so how do I book without paying?

I mapped out my trip and added all my “journeys”. Without activating my pass it appears that each destination during a single day will count as one travel day? For instance, In one 24 hour period I would like to travel from Brussels to Gent, then from Gent to Bruges, then back to Brussels. Why does it appear that each of these trips will count as one travel day? Am I just entering it wrong? Sorry, 1st timer. Thanks 

I am planning a Europe trip to breeze through 3 cities Paris, London, and Asterdam within 4 days in February 2025. My search made me believe the cheapest option is to use high speed train using Global Flex Pass. I got passes for 4 of us and now am trying to reserve /book seats for this trip via Eural app and website. None is straight forward or available for me and my family to book. I am frustrated because my trip is for the duration Feb 14th to Feb 17th. Please help me figure this out because this is my first time trying to use Eurail and high speed train

Hey all, I’m planning to depart from Edinburgh towards Amsterdam (plus additional destinations after).I thought it would be great to take the ferry from Harwich to Hoek van Holland, but the travel planner is not showing me the ferry, even when I specifically make a stop at Harwich.Do you know if the ferry is covered? 

Hi, It’s my first time travelling alone without any friends or family. And I have no idea where I want to go and when !! So I’m here to ask if you have any idea of travels plan. I would like to discover new country and spend all of my time in nature and not in big cities. Do you have any recommendations ?  I have a flex pass 

I am a single male traveller trying to book an overnight sleeper from Hamburg to Stockholm on 2nd February on SJ Trains, it will only offer me ‘women only’ sleeping compartments, does that mean the rest are sold out also do I pay a discounted price with my Interrail pass

I am flying into Rome. I want to take a train from Rome to Paris and then Geneva. Fly into Rome and fly out from Geneva. What are my options. I have a function in Geneva so it has to be my last stop. Travel days are 4/12 to 4/20. Thank you. It looks like a global pass will be a good option.

I am trying to buy tickets from Zurich to Amsterdam on the 19/04 Nightjet on OBB’s website, but I am getting an error:“currently not available: Due to construction work or missing timetable information, it is currently not possible to book a reservation for this train. It is not yet possible to predict when the information will be available. Please check regularly to see whether your connection can already be reserved.”Will there be any work on the rails on that day?Dates before the 15th are available, from 16th to 18th are sold out, but on the 19th it simply says “not available” instead of sold out.  I am wondering if it is safer to wait until that date becomes available or to try and work around it, buying an earlier date instead 

As Global pass holder,I can not find service ex Tirano to Moritz St on May 12 afternoon,2025 ?Any replacement ?

Hola a todos! Voy a hacer el recorrido en tren de Paris a Luxenburgo, Varsovia, Cracovia, Bratislava, Savreg y Liubliana. Alguna recomendación? Será nuestra primera experiencia, alguna indicación que pudiera ser de ayuda antes de comprar los tickets? Somos 2 parejas mayores de 70 años. Muchas gracias!

Ciao a tutti.Ho acquistato un pass di 7 giorni di viaggio ma ho notato che per alcuni itinerari i treni sono già pieni nonostante la partenza è prevista tra quasi 3 mesi.La mia domanda è: come è possibile che debba pagare un ulteriore somma per un biglietto di quei itinerari previsti nonostante possegga il mio pass? I posti sono obbligatori da prenotare ma sono tutti pieni....mi vedo costretto a pagare così, in alternativa,  ancora altri biglietti costosi ma mi sembra poco giusto!! Pensavo che una volta acquistati il pass altre somme importanti non li avrei più uscite.

Hi, I’m going to Europe for the first time, and bought a 2nd class Eurail global pass for 22 days. However, for any specific journey, for example the Bernina express from Tirano to Chur, can I book a 1st class seat? I don’t need 1st class for the whole time, so I’m not thinking of a pass upgrade, just looking for options to upgrade or exchange to 1st class for only specific routes. I know in swiss pass, it is possible to do that in sbb website, but couldn’t find anything similar in eurail. Also, in berina website, while booking seat reservation, I found that I can actually choose 1st class seat, and when selecting Eurail pass for discounted fare, it does discount the fare an only charge for seat reservation, but doesn’t ask if I have 1st class or 2nd class ticket. So, can I actually reserve 1st class seat with my 2nd class pass?  Thank you so much.  

I don't know how to reserve seats for the panoramic trains.

If I am taking the night train / nightjet from Vienna to Rome, it shows the train leaves Vienna around 1918 in the evening and arrives in Rome around 1100 the next day. Will I only need to use 1 day of my Eurail pass for that travel, even though I am arriving after 11 am in Rome the next day? And then when actually traveling, I will need to show my ticket from booking the nightjet seat reservation (sleeper car reservation), plus the Eurail pass on my phone? Thanks!

4 amigas y yo queremos hacer un viaje por Croacia, Eslovenia, Austria, Chequia y el sur de Polonia en 11 días. Habíamos pensado comprar el pase de 5 días de viaje en 1 mes. Dentro de un día de viaje podemos coger los trenes que queramos? Por ejemplo, si un día queremos ir por la mañana al oeste de Eslovenia y por la tarde coger otro tren a la capital, que está en el centro del país. Podríamos hacerlo? O coger dos trenes cuenta como que gastas 2 días de viaje de tu pase interrail? Cuantos trenes puedes coger cada día de viaje? No se si me explico. Y otra pregunta: los trenes de un pueblo a otro (de muy corta duración y distancia) entran también en el pase de interrail??

Hello Everyone,I’m wanting to make my seat reservations with OBB for tickets from Rome to Venice, Venice to Milian, Zurich to Paris, when I put this in and select 2nd class it does not show any seat options. So, when will it show me my seat options, and will it come to a point to where I can change them if my husband and I are not seated together?Thanks in advance for anyone’s help

I shall be travelling from London to Paris on 14 MayMy previous train should arrive at Kings Cross at 940- Would it be feasible to get the 10:24 Eurostar, or would it be wiser to allow the full recommended 90 minutes?- if I book the 11:31 Eurostar, but got to St Pancras in time for the 10:24, how likely are they to allow me on the earlier train?- if i reserved seats on onward trains through France based on the later Eurostar, would it be possible to rebook on an earlier train?  If it were, how could this be done, and what sort of cost would be involved?I apologise if these questions seem basic, but Ive never interrailed before, and would hate to make a mess of it

Please could someone advise the cheapest route (ie lowest reservations) travelling from Naples to Paris in a single day, likely to be 20 May, or thereabouts.I can leave Naples very early Thanks

Ciao a tutti.Sto cercando di prenotare i posto per nun viaggio che farò a fine marzo/primi di aprile ma ogni volta che scelgo la tratta con gli orari prestabiliti misi apre una pagina con "ERRORE", dopodiché ritorno alla.pagina iniziale delle prenotazioni e punto a capo rifaccio tutto. Una cosa che va avanti a loop senza soluzione.Come mai? Sono già pieni i posti dei treni nonostante quasi 3 mesi di anticipo? Oppure è un problema dell App? O peggio ancora Sto sbagliando qualcosa io nella prenotazione?Grazie a tutti.
