How do I use the eurail pass without a seat reservation?

First time I'm buying the Eurail pass. To use the trains that don't need to book a seat, do I need to make some kind of reservation? How does it work? Or is it just showing up on the day and time of the train and getting in? What if it's full? I need to make sure I will board.

Ein Länder Pass Italien

Hallo Zusammen Ich habe mich entschieden vom 22.8-29.8.2024 ein Ein Länder Pass (Italien 3 Tage 1 Monat zu kaufen. Ich möchte gerne die Städte Rom und Florenz besuchen. Daher habe ich einige Fragen:Ich werde 3 Tage in Rom, 3 Tage in Florenz verbringen reicht das um die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten zu sehen oder habt ihr welche Tipps die ihr noch empfehlen würdet? Mein Start ist von Luzern dann nach Rom von Rom dann nach Florenz und dann von Florenz zurück nach Luzern daher reicht der 3 Tage in 1 Monat Pass? Auf der Raileurope, Interrail Sitzplatzreservierung kann man noch nicht buchen daher muss ich mich noch ein wennig gedulden da die Italienische Bahn den Fahrplan recht spät öffnet, daher meine Frage die Strecke Roma nach Florenz gäbe es ein Regionalzug lohnt sich der oder soll ich lieber mit dem FR Zug nehmen?

Nightjet discount

Hi all! I am trying to book on the Nightjet from Paris to Salzburg at the beginning of August and have added the Interrail pass as a discount card for each of the passengers. However, it doesn’t seem to offer any discount at all - it’s exactly the same price as without the pass. Is this right? Should I be doing something differently? Thank you!

Rome to Paris

Hi, is there any direct train from Rome to Paris? If not, what is the best way to go about it? Plane fare is pretty cheap from VCO-ORY but I have 2 carryons so would add up to the price. Looking for May 4th 00:00 onwards.

travel day

Hi, do I need to add something for the 29th? I was in assumption that this trip from Prague to Zurich would take up 2 travel days as it crosses 24:00. Without adding anything on 29th leaves me 6/7 travel days. Although I plan to take trains to Lucerne/ Titlis on 29th so either ways that will take up that day I guess?? Please let me know thanks.

about pass

Hi, I will be travelling to Switzerland in about 10 days or so. I am planning to visit France also. And also I will be travelling within Switzerland city to city. I'll be staying in Switzerland about a week.  So what kind of pass should I purchase? And does Interrail pass is valid within Switzerland ( from Bern to Interlaken or from Basel to Geneva)? Thanks.

Plan trip before purchase?

How do people plan their trip in advance? I’d like to see times and total cost before committing to buying two passes, but that seems only possible *after* purchase. What am I missing?

Travel

hi, I want to go from Wroclaw to Venice, and then take the train to Silicia to take a ferry to the island, and then return home. Do you have any thoughts on the layout? I’m thinking of going to Verona, spending the night there, going to see Venice in the morning, and either in the evening or the next day I’ll go to Silicia. The problem is that I have 3 out of 4 days left on the pass which makes everything even more complicated.

Hotels in Italy, Wien minor

Hello guys, does anyone know any hotels where there is a code to enter, that is, there is no reception? in Italy, or for example Vienna, I know that there are options even with the key falling out of a special machine, you enter the code that you receive on booking. It’s just that I’m only 16 years old and I think without a copy of my parents’ passport and any signatures, they won’t rent the hotel to me, but entering with a code will save me.
