I read that some countries require pass validation before boarding a train, but can’t find any information about which countries nor how to do it.Does anybody know if it’s true. If it is, then which countries and how? A link to a site explaining it all would be most helpfulThanks
It’s +8 degrees in my Legnica now, I want to go to Italy! Where do you think is the best place to go and where is it safe? Venice is a MUST! And then Rome or go to the very bottom of Italy, where it is very warm and atmospheric.
hello all We are flying into FCO from Toronto in September and supposed to land at 1215hrs. We plan to travel onward to Florence the same day. We have Eurail Global Pass, 1st class.I see there is 1 train from FCO to Florence Santa Marai Novella leaving at 1353hrs. Not sure that we will be able to make that train. flight delay, customs, baggage. So we can take the Leonardo Express to Rome Termini. And then from Rome Termini to Florence. if I book FCO to Florence, there is only 15-minute change time. That makes me nervous, so I would like to book separately trains from FCO to Rome and then Rome to Florence. Never booked 2 separate trains on 1 day, so I am looking for assistance. i know that it should still be considered 1 travel day.
Hello!I am planning a trip from Barcelona/Paris to Almaty by train and bus this summer 2024, in order to get to my exchange university in Kazakhstan. I have never used an interrail pass, but I thought it would be a great way to plan the European part of the trip, from Barcelona to Ankara (Turkey). Looking at the railway network I thought I could go through Zagreb-Belgrad-Sofia, either through northern Italy (departing from Barcelona) or southern Germany (departing from Paris), but I am not sure if this could eventually work out. I was wondering whether someone had already done this trip (Paris-Ankara or Barcelona-Ankara) and is used to taking night trains with interrail, etc. I don't really understand the seat/bed reservation system, which type of trains are the passes valid for, and what prices to expect in early July. If anyone could share information on these I'd be super grateful.Thank you in advance :)Cheers!Chloé
I have 2 x 5 day interrail passes for me and my wife. I’ve reserved seats on a TGV Inoui from Paris to Strasbourg, but I couldn’t find out how to book our bikes onto the train. I know the train has bike spaces, so how do I add these to my seat reservations?
When a night train has this information (2nd class - IRT 2 classe) it’s because doesnt’t have a place to sleep on the reservation? Thank you!Another question, when I’m looking for the connections in romenia, it appears this (but it’s not possible to make the reservation) or that “Prices unavailable No price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats—more info below our timetable.”, what can I do in order to plan my trip in romenia, any advices?
Hi all, trying to book my son and his friend tickets from Paris Gare Du Nord to St Pancras and I am being offered an option of the TGV to Lille, as opposed to a route that takes them directly from Paris to London.Is this an option I can select? How tricky is it to change at Lille to catch the Eurostar? Thanks in advance.
Hi I am planning to visit Sweden , Germany , Austria , and Italy in August. I was planning on buying a 5 day pass but was confused if the pass is for 5 days of my choosing or if it’s consecutive days? Also for example if I went to two countries in one day would that be using 1 day or 2 ?
The question is in the title.

Hi I’m planning my Interrail trip around Europe and I want to travel from Milan to St Moritz via Tirano and take the Bernina Express…. Has anyone in the community done this route before and could they give me some good advice on how to plan it? Thank you in advance for all your help.Regards Greeny
This summer I will travel from Paris (Austerlitz) to Pau with SNCF’s night train. I have just read this article about the French “Intercités de Nuit”: https://www.raileurope.com/en/trains/intercites-de-nuitIt says that there is an X-ray check at the station i Paris (I assume that is the Austerlitz station) and that passengers are advised to arrive at the station at least 30 min. before departure.I can not find anything about X-ray checks at Austerlitz anywhere else than this Raileurope article. The only time I have heard about X-ray at train stations is for Eurostar trains and Spanish trains. There might also be an X-ray machine by the luggage storage, but that is another thing. Can anyone confirm or refute that there will be an X-ray check at Austerlitz station for night train departures? My issue is that I will bring a backpack with camping equipment (for hiking in the Pyrenees), that may or may not give me some trouble. But the article does not mention what they are checking for.Pal
