Travelling by train

Is there a direct train from París to Berlín please ? I have reserved a place for a direct train from Berlin to Paris on 6th May but neither interrail, Deutsch Bahn or SNCF show such a train on their websites. I did catch a Paris to Berlin train direct a year ago. 

I’ll be travelling to Italy and Austria in a few weeks for a skiing trip. I’m flying in and out of Munich and taking trains to the towns and resorts where I plan to ski. Anyone have any tips for bringing skis with me or how to find the info I need?It sounds like each rail company has it’s own rules, but I’m struggling to find the companies names through the Eurail trip planner so I can research it. I’d like to bring my own skis but if the rules are too restrictive then I can rent at each of my stops instead. 

I am looking for a travel buddy. I’m thinking about traveling to Vienna, Prague, Warsaw, and a few other nearby places, but I’m still planning everything. Is anyone interested? I’m an 18-year-old guy.Instagram: @hugo_vwoerden.

Hi there I saw a post that had a link to all sleeper trains - I am hoping to travel longer sections of travel doing this instead of hotels - does anyone have that link please?

Bonjour comment on sait le prix net pour un trajet lorsque l’on a pas encore acheté le pass, je souhaite prendre l’eurostar mais c’est marqué à partir de 30€.Comment on sait le vrai prix ?

Hi guys!Would be nice to have a collection of wrong (or missing) information on the Railplanner App.I will start:IC/IR/EC Switzerland<->Domodossola: The app says a reservation is required. Actually there is none required. Just if you continue to/from Domodossola from other Italian destinations, a reservation is needed…  EN (München/Zürich)-Salzburg-Budapest: The EuroCity part of this train is not shown in the app. With the EC carriages you can travel without a reservation between Salzburg and Budapest. For many EC/RJ trains between Budapest and Vienna it says that a reservation is required. That’s not true. Only for domestic trips INSIDE Hungary (e.g. Budapest-Györ) a reservation is required (which can be easily done on a ticket machine at the station or also online). For many trains on the Bludenz-Bregenz line it says “not in pass network” if they are coming from Schruns. This is due to Montafonerbahn being not part of the

I had the most unforgettable europe trip at the start of this year. I utilised the eurail pass which made travelling just that bit more special. The trains are something else and the efficacy makes it great! There is something special about being able to hop on a train in another country and being able to turn up to another one in 3 hours or more. I also got engaged in prague, and a little sotry about this is my partner organised everything without my knowledge and without this train pass the engagement would never of occurred! Thank you eurial for making my trip extraordinary, I will continue to use this in the future when travelling europe ❤️

When travelling by train we often get bored because it is a long time in the same position. However, you can make your journey way too pleasant. Here are some tips you can find useful for your next trip!!!🎧 Entertainment TipsMake a “Train Tracks” PlaylistCreate a playlist specifically for your journey—include train-themed songs, chill tracks for scenery gazing, and upbeat ones for arrival excitement. (e.g., “Midnight Train to Georgia,” “City of New Orleans,” or even train ASMR.) Bring a Book With a Train in it ​​​​​​​Reading “Murder on the Orient Express,” “The Girl on the Train,” or even “The Polar Express” while on a train adds meta layers of enjoyment.Download a Railway Scanner App or Route GuideSome train lines have enthusiast apps or unofficial guides showing landmarks, tunnels, and hidden trivia

I will be using my mobile for everything trip related but also like a book for browsing, before , during and after a trip.I see many of them, but is there one that balances practical train advice, city/destination info etc? When I look , many of them seem to be on the lines of ‘25 must do train journeys’ , which is not really what I want.Any pointers appreciated, thanks

Will I need to reserve a seat on Mont Blanc? Will I need to reserve a seat (first class) on Golden Pass? Will I need to reserve a seat on high speed Montreux to Paris? If I have Eurail, how do add those reservations? Any help appreciated.

Good day. I am 60 yrs old. My wife is 62. Son is 20. Daughter 25. We are vacationing in Vienna in early June. We want to travel within Austria,take a 2 day trip to Venice(we want to travel there overnight) and hopefully day trips to Prague and Budapest. We’re new to this. What do you recommend as the most convenient vs least expensive trains. Thank you

I paid for a seat yesterday.However, I was notified that the purchase was too late, but the money was still deducted EUR22When I arrived at the station, the staff asked me to pay EUR20 for a seat. 

I plan to travel from Sweden to Switzerland in mid December using my Interrail pass and - as I currently don’t have a GA/Half fare card - use one of my three I/O-days to reach my hometown near Lucerne. As I arrive in Basel from Hamburg by night train, I will arrive at home hopefully in the late morning.  So far so easy.Now I have the idea to make a round trip to Bern for visiting some friends in the evening of the same day. According to numerous posts here in the community, I can use my Interrail also for those trips.SBB, on the other hand, clearly states on their website, that I may use the I/O days only for travelling once to and once from the boarder stations or the airports.

Hello, I am currently planning my first trip to Istanbul. From Istanbul, I would like to follow the itinerary recommended by the Interrail website at this link (departing from Istanbul to Paris): https://www.interrail.eu/fr/plan-your-trip/trip-ideas/recommended-routes/classic-routes/london-istanbul-train-route However, I can't find any recent articles confirming that I will be able to travel from Istanbul to Sofia and then from Sofia to Craiova in March. Can anyone confirm that these connections exist? If so, which European cities can be reached from Istanbul? Thank you very much in advance for your help !

My wife purchased Eurorail pass for the both of us.  Do I need to create a separate account to access?  

Hi everyone! I bought a flexi trip Eurail pass for myself and family back in September hoping to get organised and book rail journeys. Our first one will be Munich-Salzburg but there are no journeys available when I search trips for the 14th December? I am reading everywhere they should show up 3-6 months prior but 2 months before now and the app isnt showing them- is there a reason for this? Is there another app i can use the Eurail tickets on as Im starting to feel it was a waste of money and its used up a heap of my time already trying to figure out how to use the passes :/ 

Hello, I am looking to go to Istanbul from Sofia, when I searched about it I started to see that I need a pass. I do not understand what is this pass for, is it a railway pass or something else? I am from Azerbaijan so with my passport I am free to go Turkey for 90 days and also I have a residence permit in Lithuania so I can freely travel to Bulgaria without any visa. My question is could someone please explain what are the passes? And do I need it to buy a train ticket from Sofia to Istanbul?

Is it possible to get from thun to Zermatt via train?  I am planning a europe trip for next year and when I put this into the trip planner, only 1 train is available per day, and none are available for the return trip. Planning around the end of october next year. 

We had to scan our ticket at a barrier to board a train from St Lazare to Rouen.  The QR code was not accepted,  a message 'Titre non valide' with a big red cross appeared.  The assistant couldn't help but eventually another colleague let us through as the train was about to leave. Are we likely to have the same problem on our return trip to Paris?  Everything looked ok with our ticket,   train number, date, time etc.It's the first time we've had to go through a barrier,   scanning during ticket inspection on other routes has been fine
