Hi! I’m on a bike touring trip and I’m trying to get myself home from Verona (Italy) towards Sweden by train with my interrail card, since I don’t have enough time to bike the whole way back. All of the reserved bike spots on the direct trains to Munich are fully booked for the foreseeable future so I ended up buying tickets for the S-Bahn 3 train from Brennerero-Innsbruck and the regional express and local train from Innsbruck-Munich. I payed for a ”bicycle ticket” but it also says ”if there is enough space, you may take your bike on board on the train”.   Does this mean that I might not get to bring my bike on the train even if I booked a bicycle ticket in advance? Does anyone have experience with these tickets on ÖBB? Also, if anyone has experience with bringing bikes on the regional trains in Italy or Germany I would appreciate your input. Going with DB from Munich to northern Germany doesn’t seem possible, the bike spots are all fully booked.

Hi, im from Portugal and i need to find a group for a new travel with 18 years old. She doesnt have buddies to travel with her. How can she find true friends to go with?

¡Hola! ayuda, por favor! Quiero viajar desde Roma a Zagreb en tren nocturno, a partir de las 20.10, y con cambio de tren a las 22.35; y luego a las 6.25 del día siguiente. Llegaría a destino final a las 11.30.- Mi duda es la siguiente: para el uso del pase, se cuenta como 1 día, o se cuenta como 2 días de uso de pase?

Me and 3 friends are hopefully going to take an interrailing trip next year in July, and I am wondering if this route would be good or not or if anyone can help me make some adjustments. The plan would be to fly across to Brussels from the UK on the 6th of July 2026, and spend 2 nights there before heading off to Amsterdam on the 8th, then after spending 1 night there head to Berlin on the 9th and spend 2 nights there, then to Warsaw on the 11th and spend 1 night there, after that heading to Prague on the 12th to spend 2 nights there (taking a sleeper train between Warsaw and Prague possibly), then heading to Bratislava on the 15th and spending 2 nights there, after that going to Graz on the 17th and staying 1 night, then Venice on the 18th and spending 3 nights there, after that traveling to Nice on the 21st and staying 1 night there, then finally going to Paris on the 22nd and spending 3 nights there before heading back to the UK on the 25th. If anyone could suggest some adjustments,

Ich will am 20 Juni nach Paris und habe mir das interrail Ticket gekauft  und ich wollte fragen ob man den Qr Code kriegt am Tag der Abreise 

Hi all, We’re travelling from San Sebastian to Madrid at the end of July - when I input SS to Madrid into the interrail seat reservation query, it takes me via Valladolid and on to Madrid-Chamartin - the first leg of which to Valladolid can be booked online, the second leg of which can’t be (says it has to be booked at a train station in Spain).However, I realised that the first train to Valladolid actually terminates in Madrid-Principe Pio - so then if I specify Madrid Principe Pio in the search engine, I can get all the way to Madrid direct (on a very slow train!) and can book seat reservations for the whole journey.My question is - is there a reason why it didn’t just send me to Principe Pio in the first place? Can anyone recommend a better (faster) way to get between SS and Madrid, and if so, what’s the best way to book seat reservations if they can’t be done online? Thanks, ‘Helen  

Hello everyone, I've been trying for months to book seats for the Berlin-Budapest train on July 20th at 7:28 PM, but it won't let me. Now, this train doesn't even appear anymore; instead, it appears to be one with a transfer. And on the company's official website, it does appear, but it says tickets aren't available for any date (including June, July, August, etc.). Does anyone know why the direct train isn't listed, if there isn't going to be one, or what's going on? Thank you very much.  

Hello,This summer, I’m going to travel with my daughters from Istanbul to Budapest, visiting Bulgaria and Romania. I’ll be traveling alone with them, without their mother. Do you know if the customs and border control usually ask for a consent letter from their mother to travel? Is it advisable to carry it in several languages, along with the Family Book (Libro de Familia)? I’d like to have everything in order to avoid any issues. Any tips for this route would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,there!I'm in Italy and want to visit Pompeii, but one-day tickets are sold out for Sunday and Monday.I’m thinking of buying the 3 Days Ticket will it still allow entry even if day tickets are gone?I couldn’t find time slot options during booking.I would be so sad if I couldn’t see Pompeii😢Would really appreciate any advice.Thanks. 

I’m looking for clear instructions on adding ferry reservations to the mobile App. All instructions I have found are for train reservations. My inquiry directly to Eurail advised that  the ferry reservations need to be added manually to the App. However, there were no instructions on how to activate the pass on the App and I am unsure if this is even possible. Any help is appreciated:)

Hello, please give me a promo code for lux express to the Baltics.

Hello I am trying to book a private compartment for 4 people on night train. First on the OBB Night Jet website, I have put in the global pass discount but no discount is coming off the total price. When I try on the interail website it let's me select a 4 person berth but doesn't say if this is definitely private. Ie will we definitely be together just our family, not put in a bigger compartment with others. Please advice how to book a private compartment for 4 people on a night train getting the global pass discount. We are looking at travelling from Amsterdam to either Zurich or Munich. Any other night train advice welcome too as we've not done one before. 2 adults and 2 children aged 12 and 10. Thank you!

I have a greek 6 day pass with 2 days out of 6 left. One for a domestic journey and one for an international one both on the same day 2 juneThe mobile app does not allow my to select the same date for a domestic and International trip.Has anyone had a similar issue.

How does It Work when you made train reservations but train suddenly is a different one and even the starting station gets changed or the trainswitch changes. Whe see all these different things apear?!.  

Hi communityI’ve got a Eurail pass and trying to book the Gotthard express (from Lucerne to Lugano) via the SBB.ch website.  As per advise on the Eurail website, since I have a second class pass already I should only be required to pay the fare upgrade to 1st class + seat reservation fee + 50% discount on the ferry.  However, “Eurail” pass discount option is not available (see below).  What am I doing wrong? Help please!Thanks very much in advance.Saby 

I have added two passes to my mobile phone. However I have not activated the passes. I created a trip (Amsterdam to Dusseldorf) that has all my journeys started from Amsterdam to Dusseldorf and onto Austria and finally Zurich. It says the trip is not connected to a mobile Pass. Is it because my pass it not activated? I will only start to use the Eurail rail  on 13 June. Should I activate it say next week June 1 before I fly out Amsterdam? Just worried that my mobile pass will not work before I leave Canada on June 6.  Once the pass is activated, can I then activate each train journey individually to confirm that is the train I actually want to take? Do you activate each train journey under each mobile pass ( I have 2 passes)? Or do you activate each train journey under the trip folder?  

Hi community,You have been so awesome in helping us but I have a “what if “ question. I recently got my partner to download the app and i assigned her pass to her to which it no longer appears on my app. This is all fine but we thought what if either of us lost / had our phones stolen ? I checked my login on a PC and both passes are there.. would you quote pass numbers or how would you overcome this problem ?Hope this won’t happen but you never know Much thanks again ! Marty

Hi,I understand the inbound / outbound concept of the global passes.Just one question: I remember that I had THREE such days with a 5 day pass.Is that still the case? and how many with the 4 day pass?I read somewhere about 2 days so I was confused, and just wanted to be sure about the exact number.thanks

Hi,I am planning a family trip so plan to use 2 EU rail ans 1 interrail pass with same itenary, is there a way I can plan everything on 1 device , or i have to install the app on 3 separate devices and then plan same itenary indivially on each device?

hi, from august 18th to august 29th I'm going on a trip with my girlfriend starting from bologna passing through munich, amsterdam and colmar in france, I would like to receive some advice since it's my first interrail and I don't know what to expect :)

I bought a passI made reservationsI activated the passBut the reservations I made to not populate within the “trip” on the app.Am I doing something wrong, or does the pass just stay on its own while you show your reservations on the day of travel?Please help this make sense. Thanks

Hello,I’m gearing up to apply for delay compensation. On the inbound journey, two of our trains were delayed by 40 minutes each. This meant we missed connecting trains and ended up arriving 2 hours 15 minutes after our original arrival time. When submitting my claim for compensation, do I detail each individual delay for each separate section of the journey or one entry for the overall trip for that day?Thanks
