Helo, When will I be able to make reservations for train trips for Christmas time? I already have the Eurail Pass, but I can not make reservations yet.

Should be possible in the next few days :) 

 

Usually train opens for Reservations 90 or 60days in advance for Poland just 30days in advance. 

If you let us know which Routes you are looking for we may can suggest the Website of the original operating Company :)

    No reservations are needed for domestic travel in Switzerland. For Genève - Dijon and Dijon - Chamonix, you'll need reservations for TGV or IC trains in France. But you can also travel entirely with reservation-free TER trains.
    For Amsterdam - Bruges, you need a reservation if you use Thalys but you can travel reservation-free every hour with an IC train. Better still, forget Bruges and go to Antwerp or Gent, which are much less of a tourist trap…

    Luzern - Amsterdam seems to be missing but you can book (optional) reservations via the DB website.

    Please ask questions in the community and not via a private message. That's the quickest way to get a response. I don't work for Eurail/Interrail.

      Thank you so much. What about the Glacier Express?

      Thank you so much. What about the Glacier Express?

      If you really want to ride that train, you will have to make a reservation indeed: https://shop.glacierexpress.ch/gex_en

      But there is also an hourly, reservation-free service on the entire route. You will just need to change trains a few times.
