Besoin d'aide pour mon voyage

Bonsoir à tous J'envisage de partir 2 semaines le mois prochain pour faire un petit tour en Europe centrale. Je me suis bien renseigné sur le pass Interrail, les trucs à savoir, etc. Malheureusement j'ai beau me creuser la tête, je n'arrive pas à me décider sur le nombre de pays à faire et sur mon itinéraire... Comme je vous ai dit j'envisage de profiter de 2 semaines de vacances (en juin) pour partir découvrir quelques pays. Je pensais faire l'Allemagne (Munich/Berlin), Prague, Vienne, Bratislava, Ljubljana, Budapest. J'hésite entre 7 et 10 jours de pass et sur l'ordre des villes. En sachant que je vais rester environ 2 nuits par ville et que l'Italie et la Suisse ne m'intéressent pas vraiment. Des conseils ou idées ? Merci beaucoup !

Questions on Eurail Pass

Hi,I am travelling to Italy, Switzerland & France. During this time I will be using trains and buses to travel from one place to another.My question here is if EURAIL pass covers the following train journeys completely or just provides some discount.“Venice-Como-Zurich-Rhine Falls- Lucerne- Interlaken-Paris. I will also be travelling to Mt. Titlis, Grindelwald, Lauterbrannen and Lake Brienz.”Additionally, Once I purchase the EURAIL pass can I directly hop on any train or do I have to make reservations first? If I need to make reservations then is there a particular website from where I do that or it can be any third party website like Omio, Trainline etc.? I understand that this question might have been asked multiple times but I am confused on this topic.

Unreliable information on NJ469 Paris-Salzburg

Hi everyone! I have tickets on the NJ469 next week (16/05) from Paris Est to Salzburg. Short version: one customer representative told me the train is not leaving from Paris, but Strasbourg because of construction work; another told me that the train was not modified and would still be leaving from Paris. Does anyone have more information about this train? This is the long version:Initially, the train was supposed to leave at 19:12 from Paris Est. However, on 25/04 we received a (somewhat cryptic) email from ÖBB (“Information zu Ihrer Verbindung”) telling us that “Der Fahrplan Ihrer Verbindung von Paris Est (16.05.2024 19:12) nach Salzburg Hbf hat sich geändert” (i.e. there have been modifications to our train).Looking at the online timetables, it appears that NJ469 is no longer leaving from Paris, but from Strasbourg because of construction work. Indeed, on the nightjet.com website, one can find this message: “NJ 469: Due to construction work, this train cannot run between Paris Est a

Route from Salzburg-Ljubljana-Siena

Hello all, Advice from experienced interrailers needed! We are travelling around a few countries in Europe for a few weeks in the summer and currently have booked the Paris-Salzburg sleeper, arriving in Salzburg 7th August. The next thing we have booked is a week in Tuscany from the 15th August. My question is how best to spend that week in between? I had thought to do Ljubljana-Pula, then Pula-Venice by ferry, then Venice-Siena, but I’m not sure if that’s a bit complicated and we’ll end up with not much time in each place? I would like to visit Slovenia and Croatia if possible but am aware it would only be a flying visit if I squeeze it into this week, plus there’s the additional cost of the ferry to think about. Could anyone either reassure me that the above plan is ok, or suggest an alternative which wouldn’t be too stressful but stops at a couple of nice places? Thanks very much - appreciate your time :-)

seat reservation france

Hi, I'm having great difficulty booking seats on two French trains on August 7th. the site tells me they are sold out but apparently all the dates between now and October are sold out which seems very strange to me. in addition, the normal ticket can be purchased without problems from the snfc website. on the website https://www.raileurope.com/ it says that I can't buy the ticket with my pass, I don't understand why. For me it is essential to arrive in Barcelona on that day otherwise I will miss the whole trip, thank you very much in advance😭

Seat Reservations Required, but no place to purchase

We are trying to book a train from Interlaken to Rome. At one transition, (Domodossola) the site says “You need to buy a seat reservation to board”; however, there is not a place to purchase a seat. At the next stop (Milano Centrale), it says the same thing, but with an option to purchase. Does this mean the train at the Domodossola is sold out? Also, it says BUS operated by Ferrovie dello stato SpA; does this mean an actual bus, or is it still a train (the other transfers say Regional Train). Thank you.

How many days will it count?

Hey!I’m actually planning my trip right now and I wanted to ask something just to be sure. I’m planning to visit an Italian friend during my trip and I’ll be staying to her place in Padova. We’re planning to go to cities near hers. So I wanted to know if for example I go from Padova to Venice and in the same day go back to Padova it’ll still count as 1 day of traveling right?

I am planning a trip from Germany to Vienna for 2 nights and then on to Hungary for several nights. At some point on the way back I will travel from Hungary to Linz again for 2 nights and then on the way back to Germany. That's 6 days of travelling, right? So a global pass for 6 days?

Seat Reservation within England

I am going to take a day trip from London to Stratford-upon-Avon. I am looking at round trip from London Euston Station to Stratford in July 2024. It is an express train to Birmingham then regular train to Stratford. On the Eurail app it says seat reservations needed. When I click on it says 1st class or 2nd class. I clicked 1st class and nothing happens. Is it too early for seat reservations? Do I need to look at another site?? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.

Mother-in-law booked tip on her app for our whole family, now we can't link to our app

My family purchased the Eurail pass and we all added them to our phones. My mother in law started the booking of the trains on her phone and linked each pass to each persons eurail information/pass number. I have received email confirmations of bookings. How do I add these into my app? I would’ve assumed they would have immediately linked to my pass, but I cannot figure out how to get them on my app now.

Calais to Dover by ferry

Hello,I am finding the P&O website impossible to use. I want to cross the Channel on May 21. Directferries gives the time of the only departures available as 06:40 and 8:20, but my date and any other date I enter is labelled Sold out! This is clearly impossible, and so I am willing to arrive to Calais as early as I can by train from Lille, hoping to get a bus there from Calais Ville to the ferry port, or if necessary a taxi.Are there any later ferries? That would help.Is this doable? Thank you for your help,Brian.
