I allready bought a pass on the interrail website.euI have a iPhone and a laptop with windows 11, I used the browser Firefox.I activated my pass at the mobile Rail Planer App and conect it with a spesific trip. The same pass is connected to another trip on the interrail website in my account. The Trip from the App isn’t shown on the interrail website and the Trip on the website isn’t shown in the App. I can change the trips in the app as I want but in my accout there changes nothing. So the sincronization between the online website and the app obviosly doesn´t work, even it´s the same pass and the same account. How can I fix this?

Hi - any advice please on how to approach reservations for July for journey 3 passholders and 1 non passholder Lake Bled to Budapest.  And then Budapest to Prague a few days later.  We would all like to sit/travel together.  First time interrailing - I think I can deal with the 3 passholder bookings but not sure how to navigate with this additional non pass.  Any steer/advice much appreciated.

Hi Thanks to this community wife/I have now managed to put our plan together. We are travelling for the 1st time on this type of holiday.Help/suggestion.We have have Lebara network provider SIM phone ( UK based). This provides us with the ability to roam within EU - at no extra cost.Though just returned from Prague and it did not work there - The google map was just not picking up the data. We plan to travel to following countries - noting 1 of them is not part nof EU.Norway Sweden Denmark Germany Austria Switzerland FranceAny suggestion as to how best to make sure our google maps works, so we are able to find our way in that given country/location and we are able to acess our passes/tickets etc on our phone.is Esim the way to go - or is there a SIM only provider that gurantees good signal across all the countires.Or would we need to see how we get on each country and then buy either Esim/local sim in that given country.I am from a generation where we had everythig printed and had pape

Hola, tengo dos pases globales de 7 días en un mes para empezar a usar en septiembre, el día 1 ya tengo los billetes, y cuando quiero agregar viajes para el dia 2, guardo viaje en la carpeta creada y me pone que no está asociado a ningún viaje, claro me deja hacerlo pero desvinculando el viaje del día 1, y no entiendo como puedo "comprar" todos los viajes de los 7 días para que queden vinculados cada uno en el pase de las dos personas que somos.Tengo que vincular cada viaje después de haber terminado cada trayecto? 

Q: Can I use my Interrail 2nd class Global Pass to book a deluxe single sleeper cabin on CD? I’d like to use my 2nd class pass to reserve a single deluxe cabin on two routes (Budapest-Krakow & Warsaw-Prague). CD has an easy process, and for both it does assign a single deluxe, *but* going through the ‘Document terms and conditions’, it says:“Compartments in sleeper carriages are divided into so-called “Economy”, where a 2nd class ticket is required for all types of compartments (Triple, Double, Single and possibly connected Family compartments), and so-called “Deluxe”, where a 1st class ticket is required for all types of compartments. For use of a berth of the category Single (a compartment with one bed), it is necessary to present a travel document issued for 1st class travel.”CD giving me the option to book a deluxe single with specified 2nd class IR seems to contradict the Ts&Cs. Man in Seat 61 does not specify (as he does for all other night train options) for the Czech si

Is it possible / common to be able to get a standby ticket on Eurostar train (Brussels to London) the night before my current train ticket? 

hi, i’m travelling from the UK to Europe using a global pass. can i make multiple journeys in my home country using the pass? the website is ambiguous - it says i can only make two journeys - one in, one out - but i can have ‘multiple train transfers’. Does this mean i can travel from any location to London then get the eurostar as long as it is on the same travel day?And the same on return i assume?

Hey everyone!I'm planning to travel with The Bergen Line from Bergen to Oslo soon.Which seats would you recommend, based on the side?Are there any advantages in certain carriages (cars 4, 7, and 8 are still available).Thank you for your help! :)✌

I’m forever grateful for all the help I’ve gotten from you users today, and since you know so much, I wanted to ask you a few more questions. These are regarding the seat reservations as well. You told me that it is not possible to buy seat reservations fore some regional trains, are these included?: Chur - zeurich Hb (19.11-20.48 11 July 2025), berlin Hbf - Magdeburg Hbg (0.44-02.37 13 July 2025) (I have been told that this is a regional train), Magdeburg Hbf - Uelzen (04.47-06.41 13 July 2025), Uelzen - Hamburg Hbf (07.04 - 08.03 13 July 2025), Fredericia - Slagelse (12.15 - 14.10 13 July 2025) Also please tell me if you think it’s stupid that we sometimes only have 20 minutes in between arrival and departure. We struggled to find other alternatives that would cost us many more hours.

Thanks to this community for your advice and help. I need to buy two adult one-way train tickets from London (any station) to Edinburgh for the morning of July 7, 2025. I already bought two Interrail Global Passes, good for any 4 days within a month. I would like to use those passes for this train ticket, but so far I cannot see how to do that. I live in Switzerland and have residency there but hold a US passport. I’ve tried doing this with VPN set to Great Britain and and also without, neither seems to make a difference. Here’s also what I’ve tried:Interrail.eu : when I try to book on this site, while logged into my account, and I’ve added my passes to my account, I can see many trains throughout the day, but I get a red popup that says seat reservations are required for this train travel, but that I can’t make seat reservations from this site. The “more information” button says to try buying tickets on acprail.comAcprail.com : I created an account on this site and tried to load my pa

Hello! I am planning a trip for this summer. I already bought the pass from eurail but now i want to add journeys and make the seat reservations for one of them, but i am so confused. I’m scared to activate my pass before I’m supposed to and don’t really know how I can reserve seats without having my pass activated. Plus, if I want to start traveling in august am I supposed to activate my pass now?

Hey everyone! I’ll be solo traveling through Europe this August and would love to meet up with other travelers along the way. Whether it’s grabbing a drink or doing something fun together, I’m totally up for it! Here’s my itinerary:  Brussels: August 1–6 Berlin: August 7–11 Prague: August 12–16 Vienna: August 17–23   If you’re around during those dates, feel free to shoot me a message! Always down to hang out over a beer, coffee, or some random local adventure 🍺🗺️ Hope to cross paths with some of you ✌️

Hallo iedereen,ik vroeg me af dat iemand weet hoe we aan de lagere kunnen bereiken of hoe ik mijn verblijf moet organiseren als ik wil genieten van de ontdekking kortingen?

Some seat reservations can’t be made in the interrail app. They refer me to int.bahn.de but there it’s not possible to connect the interrail-pass to the reservations so we would’nt get any discounts. I am super stressed and feel like this needs to be done before all the tickets are sold out. HOW DO I CONNECT MY PASS TO INT.BAHN.DE. Please help!!

hi team just another question regarding seat bookings. we are doing the long journey from Rome to Paris, - and we want to go through southern France instead of Switzerland. I know the train is leaving at 8:20am from Rome - on the 12th May but i wanted to ask, as it stops in Milan and we have to change train stations from Centrale to garibaldi in a half hour gap between the trains it said that the TGV inoui is departing from Garibaldi station in Milan. Just looking at worse case scenarios if. we miss our train how can we find if more trains are coming? and is there a chance we can keep our seats on the next train if we do. and can we book family booths through rail plus? ive heard they have some is there any recommendations on the best way to get to garibaldi, although its close walking alone ins 20 minutes, can anyone recommend the quickest way to get to garibaldi station from Centrale which gives us some time to find the platform?your assistance is greatly appreciated!

I wondered if anyone has experience of making bookings at Bulgarian Railway Stations as the app advised.We are travelling from Sofia to Ruse on May 29th and need reservations Sofia Sever to Gorna OryahovitsaGorna Oryahovitsa to RuseWe will arrive in Sofia on May 27th and will try to make reservations on that day for onward travel on May 29th. Will this work or there any other options for reservations?Thanks 

I have a small question that I have not been able to find a clear answer in the community. I'm interested in taking a 5-day global pass and I've read that trips inside/outside the country of origin don't subtract days from the package.To leave my country (Spain), I am most interested in travelling from Madrid to Barcelona and from there abroad (in my case, Lyon). Is this possible within the ‘day of departure’ allowed by the pass or can I only make one trip (example: Madrid to Lyon) to leave?Incidentally, this consultation is equally valid for the return to my country.I hope you can help me in the community. With anything, thank you. 

Bonjour, J’aimerais réserver mes places de train pour pouvoir être assise, mais je ne comprends vraiment pas comment faire. Je suis redirigée vers le site Interrail alors que je veux réserver mes places sur l’application DiscoverEU. Sur le site, on me parle de crédits pour réserver ma place et non d’euros. Ce n’est pas très clair, quelqu’un pourrait-il me détailler la procédure pour réserver ses places ? Merci

If I’m travelling from Amsterdam Centraal to Delft and need to change trains or platforms at Sloterdijk, with my paper Global Pass, do I write Sloterdijk or Delft as my destination. I won’t be leaving the station, just changing either platforms or trains.

Hi teamwe are coming to Europe in May and I had a few more questions.We are travelling in May but the global pass train from Rome to Paris with only one connection change in Milan has limited seats. How can I secure the seats in that line before without having to activate the pass? ( if we activate the pass now then we have 1 month to use it but we are coming next month) Are there police in the train stations and at what times we are worried about pick pockets in some of our destinations travelling with kidsyour assistance is greatly appreciated! wazma 

Soy nueva en Eurail, estoy realizando el plan de viaje pero tengo que eliminar un viaje y no me deja porque dice que debo eliminar primero a los viajeros, pero no deja hacerlo… 

I am considering hiring an ebike in and around Colmar next month to explore the surrounding countryside as well the city. But my experience of being a pedestrian in France has not always been the best. How safe is cycling in France? Also as a bike is a vehicle, do you need to carry a breathiliser? Apologies if this question isn’t suitable for this forum

Hola buenas soy Paula, soy de España y este año mi mejor amiga y yo queremos vivir esta experiencia, estamos un poco perdidas porque no sabemos cuáles son las mejores rutas ni tampoco cómo funciona, nosotras viajaremos en septiembre si alguien de España o Barcelona empieza la ruta como nosotras que nos contacte para ver qué ruta haréis o saber un poco más 

I would like to confirm my understanding that the Benelux Rail pass (already purchased) offers a ride on Eurocity Direct train from Brussels Midi to Amsterdam Zuid with no cost nor seat reservation. Is my understanding correct? Thanks. 

Hola, tengo mi pase Interrail de 7 días pero no entiendo cómo funciona, es decir puedo utilizar 7 días los trenes que quiera ? O por ejemplo estoy dos semanas pero lo utilizo 7 veces y sirve. no entiendo muy bien el funcionamiento
