Got a train photography moment you’re dying to share? Let’s see those shots that make everyone wish they were on that train with you!
Hey Eurail/Interrail Community,We have an exciting topic to discuss today: getting more people on trains instead of planes!🚆✈️ With all the talk about sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint, we know that trains can be a fantastic alternative to air travel. But how do we encourage more people to make the switch? Do you think partnerships between airlines and Eurail could be a nice benefit for our customers? And also, can it help promote rail to a new audience? Tell us your opinion in the comments 👇 Cheers,Eurail Community Moderator
Hi , I am planning to go interrailing for three months between march and june. I am still contemplating whether to get a suitcase or a backpack. What is the best option (for three months)? Thank you so much, David
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?
Hello!We’d like to travel with the night train from Paris to Cerbère (or actually Collioure). However, I wonder if anyone has any info on the days of operation of this service in the end of June. I’ve read that these trains operate on a daily basis during “the summer”, but that is a bit to vague for me at the moment :-) If not daily, do you know which days these trains run? Perhaps - the planning for the summer is not yet presented/fixed, if so - when can I expect to get access to the timetable for June?Our Plan B will probably be to take the night train Paris-Toulouse, and from there a regional direct train. This is a good alternative although we’d prefer the direct train between Paris and Collioure. best regards, Anna
Hi! I’m planning on traveling in May 2025, and I have two questions.Firstly, there is going to be a timetable change on May 17th. When will the new timetables be released in the app?Secondly, I’ve understood that the interrail planner app isn’t always updated when it comes to changes in departures. Does anybody know the go to sites for looking up live up to date departure times in respectively Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland, and the UK? And does anyone have experience with whether or not Google maps has live updates?
Hi there, I’m weighting up options as to whether we using an interrail pass versus single tickets for travel next year (departing from the UK).Are there any day tickets available for train travel in the Netherlands (we’ll be based north of Amsterdam and will want to visit Amsterdam, Delft, Harleem and the Hague, perhaps one other place by train also, plus travelling by bike, bus and ferry!)?2 adults and 2 teens ages 13 and 15.Many thanks.
Can I use 10 Day Eurail Global pass to book seats on Frecciargento to travel from Rome to Venice?
Bonjour,Ce sera notre première utilisation d’un pass interail et d’un train de nuit.Nous souhaitons aller de Milan (après une journée de trains déjà depuis Bruxelles), vers la Sicile (on doit encore voir si on va jusqu’à Syracus, Palerme ou Messine).La date étant fin avril, la réservation n’est pas encore possible sur Trenitalia, mais est-ce qu’il faut réserver les couchettes via interrail (43 €/couchette), ou peut-on le faire via Trenitalia justement pour moins cher ?Nous sommes 2 adultes et 3 enfants, dont la plus jeune à 4 ans, du coup on prévoit de voyager dans une cabine de 4. Peut-on réserver pour 4 couchettes uniquement ?Merci pour vos retours,Joachim

I have Eurail Global Pass and have booked reservations for Paris CDG to Amsterdam direct on Eurostar. Where do we get on the train at Paris CDG ? Can anyone help that has made this trip ?
How much did you save up before going interrailing and how much did you end up spending?
We plan to travel from Salzburg to Bologna on a Railjet with transfer in Innsbruck using a first class eurail pass. The seat reservation fee on the obb website is 3 euro. But when I put the seat reservation into my shopping basket the 15 euro supplement that is supposed to be paid is not added to the seat reservation fee. I have selected the eurail pass discount for my obb profile. The eurailpass website says that seat reservations made on obb site will automatically include the supplement. So I am puzzled as to what we should do.Thank you!

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
