Hello In July we want to travel to Montenegro with the train (interrail). We will be departing in Belgium. We heard from other people who wanted to travel to Montenegro in the past that they had some issues with travelling trough Serbia. Aparantly, Serbia is not letting everybody trough. I was wondering if we need a special pass to cross Serbia to reach Montenegro? Kind regardsSimon De Corte
Hi I need HELP! I’m last-minute (I had a rough itinerary before but reality is setting in...) planning my travel pass to travel from Lisbon (more specifically, I’m in Alcabideche right now) to Bruges, leaving tomorrow Nov 19th and arriving *ideally* late-night Nov 20th. I have 2 days left on my Eurail Global Pass that I want to use, but this route seems so complicated with its many options/side-routes, expensive seat reservations, and lack of night train (my preference/ideal) options with my timeline. It seems it may be better to bus into France, which I am willing to do if it is inexpensive, but ideally I’d use my remaining 2 travel days with minimal additional expenses on seat reservations and overnight accommodation. Has anyone done this route or a similar one (Portugal to Belgium) with success recently??? Should I just take the L and take a bus somewhere into France and then train to Bruges from there?! I will accept any and all suggestions, thank you!!
Hello fellow travelers, I’m having a bit of trouble setting my trip from Innsbruck(Austria) to Chur(Switzerland). It does show routes whenever I look into Rail europe or Omio, but I’m not sure about connection times, they all seem to be pretty short to me.Three to nine minutes so you know. I fear I won’t make it in between connections. Apparently I don’t have to make any seat reservations for this route. Has anyone ever made this trip and have any tips or advices on how to make this route?

Just wanted to let others know that it’s extremely hard to get anywhere by train in Turkey right now. I had no problems getting the sleeper from Sofia to Istanbul the day of, and the train was half empty.But you can’t BUY a ticket, much less get a reservation, for over a week on any of the routes I’ve checked across the country unless you’re in a wheelchair. Many of the routes say they have one seat open, but when you check it’s only for wheelchair users.Some of the routes like Ankara to Kar are booked up for almost two weeks. So if you plan to come to Turkey, do your reservations as far our as possible. The website to check tickets is https://ebilet.tcddtasimacilik.gov.tr/
I am staying in Poggio Somavilla in Collevecchio and need to be at Rome Fiumicino airport at 10:00 on Thursday morning (19/09). The first train from Collevecchio Poggio Somavilla station is at 07:52 arriving at the airport station at about 09:45. As the trains are scheduled hourly if that train does not run for any reason the next train would be the 08:52 which arrives at the airport too late! :( Are the regional trains in Italy sufficiently reliable to make an airport connection? (As it is the first train of the day there is no option to get an earlier train!) :(

Hi,we plan to reach the Lofoten in October by Interrail (1st class). I saw there is a possibility to go from trondheim by day train to Bodo. From there with a ferry (Hurtigruten) to Lofoten. On our way back, we want to take the night train from Bodo to Trondheim.A few questions:1.) The nighttrain has only two bed compartiments. I think we will manage to “sleep” there with one adult and child on each of the small beds. So we need just one compartiment. Does anybody know if this will be okay with the railway company? Our children are 5 and 2 years old.2.) How about ferry connection in Bodo? Shall I pre book or would it be better to do it, when I know, if the train is maybe late? Are there other ferry companies Bodo / Lofoten?3.) How can I find out, how much the night train compartment will cost me with my interrail 1st class ticket? (3 tickets for us two adults and the 5 year old, no ticket for the 2 year old..).
Hi ! I’m planning a trip from France to Scotland with my bike. On the routes Dover-London and Edinburgh-Inverness, no seat reservations are required but i need to book one space for my bike. Is it possible to reserve a cycle space without reserving a seat? How? Thanks for your help.

Hi! I'm looking to go on an interrail trip with friends this September, and we'd like to visit Sarajevo.However, it seems like getting there is very hard. Our current plan is taking a (Flix)bus from Zagreb to Sarajevo, and staying there for 2 days. Afterwards we would take the train from Sarajevo to Čapljina, cross the border into Metković and probably have to take a (Flix)bus again to Split.We were wondering if the 2 days in Sarajevo are worth the effort to get there, and the prices of the busses.If somebody has some tricks how to get there easily, or advice this would greatly help us!
