Travelling by train

I’ve read other questions and answers on the topic of strikes, including great info about guaranteed travel on weekdays and holidays, but haven’t seen anything yet about Saturday travel.  We plan to travel from Innsbruck to Ponte Gardena-Laion on Saturday, 8 March, with a train change to RV 3843 in Brennero at 13:00.  I expect we need to plan a different arrival day in Italy from Austria?  We have a flex pass.

Can we purchase individual train tickets from this app? Or how do we purchase a pass? We are needing 4 train rides within 2 weeks - 2 on the same day. From Berlin to Munich to Venice to Florence to Rome. Advice?

Hi, I have finalized my main travel destinations and booked seats, my question is If I click my first journey in Day 1 travel and then decide to day a trip to a village on that same day do I need to put the 2nd journey in day 1 travel day? and if so How do i add it to a travel day that has a journey already booked. Also my next destination will not be for 4 days, do i put journey 2 in Day 2 or wait and see if i do a day trip in betweenI have 6 main journeys getting me to my destinations where i have hotels booked , how do i plan day trips.Thanks in advance

Hi there, my partner and I are going to buy a Eurail pass. We are entertaining the idea of a first class global pass, but if we do second class, can we purchase first class seat reservations? Let me know if my question doesn’t make sense.

Hello,I’m trying to book the sleeper from Hamburg to Stockholm on 1st August. It says there is track work and it can’t be booked yet. Trains are bookable for the 5th August though.Does anyone have any idea what track works there are and when the timetable might be published?Also it seems I can no longer do a test run to find out Interrail prices (I haven’t bought the pass yet) because it needs a valid pass number (I tried an old one and tried creating a pass cover number which didn’t work).Thank you.

Hi, we’re travelling to Europe in June/July this year. Trying to book a trip from Interlaken, Switzerland to Florence, Italy in early July 2025 but only 1 option coming up which is a 18hr journey. Is it still too early to be booking this trip and can I assume there will be more options available to us in a couple of months when it’s a bit closer to the travel date?Thanks. :) 

quick question i will be  staying in Lyon France is there a nonstop train to Turin Italy or any nonstop trains to Italy at all.thanks in advance

Hi everyone, we will be traveling with Eurail in April. I wanted to include Northern Spain, but it seems as if most trains are not part of the Eurail network?Does anyone have experience here, and some advice? Thanks!

Hey everyone,I will be travelling on a One-Country France Pass through France. I live in Germany close to the border and want to take the local train Offenburg-Kehl-Strasbourg to cross the border. I also own a Deutschlandticket which is valid up to the borderpoint Kehl (Gr) (which is a few metres further than the physical train station of Kehl).My question is if I need an additional ticket for the section Kehl (Gr) to Krimmeri-Meinau (first stop in France) or if my interrail will also cover this stretch.Maybe this is kind of similar to Basel SNCF/SBB being included in the one-country France pass.Any suggestions?

Hello,Does “Compartment for 2 passengers (Double)” on the NightJet 467 train from Zurich to Vienna have restroom and sink? It’s not clear if tickets are sold for the “Nightjet new generation” or “Nightjet”.Thank you!Kirill   

Hi there! My husband and I are planning a trip this April-May to visit Italy, Switzerland, and Croatia. We are a little confused about...How far in advance we should buy train tickets. Friends/family have said you can buy the day of or day before and don’t have any issues with not being able to get on a train. Is this true?  Traveling from Venice to Interlaken. When we go through the purchase ticket flow, we are prompted to buy a Eurail Pass and they are SUPER expensive. Can you not just buy one-off tickets? Do we have to buy a pass?   Buying tickets from one country to another. Is this a more complicated process?Thanks for your help!-Claire

Hello,my husband will be traveling to Italy this April. I am looking into a pass. I was wondering if a rail pass is the way to go or if I should just book individual trips via trenitalia?  Milan to Venice Venice to Florence florence to Naples/potisanonaples to Rome. flying out of Rome.  all tips are appreciated. 

I wanted to ask questions on how seat availability is on trains which state “This is a popular train. Seat reservations are recommended but not required.”. For example theres a train from budapest to Prague but it says seats are recommended. Obviously if its possible to save money I would want to not pay unnecessarily for seats that are available without booking. For context we are group of 4 people and was wondering if all 4 would be enough for these kinds of trains. Would highly appreciate someone who has done this trip before and has experience to give advice on the subject

i’d booked the class 1 seat before the trip on the schedule to take the euro star train from rotterdam to brussels, unluckily the train was cancelled! how can i continue my trip through the train cancelled issue?

I am flying into Rome. I want to take a train from Rome to Paris and then Geneva. Fly into Rome and fly out from Geneva. What are my options. I have a function in Geneva so it has to be my last stop. Travel days are 4/12 to 4/20. Thank you. It looks like a global pass will be a good option.

Hola a todos! Voy a hacer el recorrido en tren de Paris a Luxenburgo, Varsovia, Cracovia, Bratislava, Savreg y Liubliana. Alguna recomendación? Será nuestra primera experiencia, alguna indicación que pudiera ser de ayuda antes de comprar los tickets? Somos 2 parejas mayores de 70 años. Muchas gracias!

hello~!I'm sorry to always ask questions about EurailPassCan I use the Eurail Pass in the morning and use the OBB train or Czech train on the same day night?For example, if from Milan to Chur,use Eurail Pass early in the day and from Chur to prague makes a reservation using Eurail Pass on the Czech train app on same day night.also i booked from Wien to Paris by Eurail Pass on the OBB appand I received the train tickets on OBB by emailDo I need to register the tickets I booked through OBB or Czech app separately to my Eurail Pass?

Has anyone had any experience with eurail esims cards for cell phones? Just wondering if the price is comparable with AT&T, T-Mobile and similar plans.  ...or if you have a good recommendation for using phones in Europe.  

When initially planning my trip the app showed all available stations in the map view. Now it is showing none. Not even the big ones like Amsterdam Central and Gare De Nord. Did something change recently?

Wondering if I’m calculating my travel days correctly as well as a couple questions about the pass. Plan is to fly into Amsterdam (aug14) stay until the 16th, take a train morning of 16th to Brussels & stay here until 18th. 18th morning train to munich staying until the 20th which then will take a final train to Krakow Poland. Totaling 3 travel days, offering me the 4 day global pass. Curious if trains will be necessary around the city while staying in these towns while sight seeing/exploring and if this will affect my pass usage days? Also curious if I will need the eurail pass from the airport to my part of town when arriving into Amsterdam or better to take local Ubers/cabs? First timer going across the pond so any tips welcome. 

Hi! We want to go to Portugal by train in may/june. And we are travelling from the Netherlands. I was wondering if anybody did this already and what is the best route. 

Hello everyone, when I planned the journey Amsterdam - Brussels - Luxembourg - Paris - Lucern - Chur - Tirano - Milan - Verona - Venice - Vienne, there were 10 segments that are in accordance with 10 travel days, I guest. Why did the Eurail website calculate 11 days of travel?

Does anyone have any recommendations for apps for train travel in Spain, France and Italy? 

We (2 adults and 1 Youth) will be traveling to Rome in July 2025 and want to take a train to Germany, Austria, or some other destination to spend a couple of days then travel back to Rome for the last day of our vacation.  I need help on how to go about this.  Do I need a Eurail Pass or can I simply book passage by train? Are there restrictions or hurdles I need to jump to travel between countries in Europe?
