Hi everyone,

I’ve started my interrail trip today. I’ve made reservations for most of the trains, but I’m wondering whether I should make a reservation for:

EC 99 Zürich - München, and

EC 323 Zürich - Lugano (only the Swiss part of the journey)

So to be sure, I’m not asking whether a reservation is required, because I believe it isn’t, but whether a reservation is recommended.

Normally traveling >100.000 km per year by train

    in my experience not needed :) if you want you can reserve via bahn.de for just 4€ :)

    I recommend to take from Zürich the Interregio to Lugano as the Interregio takes the Gotthard Mountain route instead of the new Gothard tunnel :)

    I´ am not working for Eurail or Interrail i just share my knowledge here. Please ask in the Community and not via private message as this is the fastest way to get an answer. I prefer English/German/ Czech for my answers. In case of Reservationquestions please share some details like Route, Date, Trainnumber as otherwise we can just provide general advices or answers

    I checked for the IR too, but time will be a factor as we’ll arrive in Zurich at 17:20, with Milan being our final destination, so there’s not much time for sightseeing :(
