Hi AllI’ve got a 1 month pass and looking to visit Scandinavia for the most part initially, i.e Eurostar direct from London to Amsterdam, then onto to Copenhagen for a couple of days, then maybe another stop in Denmark somewhere before shifting up to Sweden, Stockholm for a day or 2, plus 2 other stops maybe, then across to Norway for 3 or 4 stops, going all the way over the top around to Finland, stopping a day or 2 somewhere before arriving in Helsinki for a day maybe 2, then a ferry across to Talinn, Estonia (no stopping unless I have to) then down to Latvia, Lithuania, Poland with a couple of days in each, then Slovenia (Ljubljana I’d like to see) for 1 may 2 days, then a non stop sleeper hopefully, direct to northern Spain and Portugal for a few days before returning to London with one stop in Cologne.Can it be done on a reasonable budget? Will I have enough time? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.Thank you !Midge

Hi! Next week I’m going to Zurich and will take a day trip to Vaduz (Liechtenstein). I figured that it’s more adventurous to use the pass and see Vaduz for half-day. My challenge is what to do there on Friday from around 10:00 to 14:00. Any recommendation please? I will be traveling with my 64yo mom. thank you!

Me gustaría saber si el billete interrail Global Pass Promoción Joven 4 días en 1 mes 2a clase sirve para poder moverme desde Cádiz a Barcelona, hacer noche y al día siguiente salir desde Barcelona hacia París. 

Would really like to go from Munich, to Salzburg, to Innsbruck, to maybe Bergenz back to Munich.  Is this a good route and approximately how long would the trip be? Looking to make it a day trip to ride the train and enjoy the views.  Any thoughts or suggestions? 

Westbahn have historically treated Interrail passes as second class tickets. Even if you had a first class pass, you had to pay to ‘upgrade’ if you wanted to sit in first class.Based on their website, it seems this has changed, and they now accept them in first since 15/9/26:https://westbahn.at/en/news/interrail-eurail-pass/Reservations are optional, but still incredibly expensive - the same price as the previous upgrade.The Rail Planner is still showing that first class passholders need to pay a supplement - I think this needs to be changed ​@Interrail Community Moderator

Hello there!  I am planning to travel on the Train de Merveilles route, starting in Nice - Tende - Ventimiglia. Does anyone have any tips on great places to stop or visit? Any recommendations for activities or hikes?  Thanks, AM

Hello everyone! I am currently planning an interrail trip for my family (2 adults and a then 9 year old and 4 year old) for next summer. We will have maximum of 23 days leave to travel.I originally looked at a global pass but I think given the age of my youngest a slower travel pace may be more preferable - we are currently considering a 3 or 4 day pass in Germany including a week in the south with a hire car to do some gentle hikes. One of the things my kids are obsessed with at the moment (aren’t we all?) is night trains and I was hoping to let them experience one for the first time. I’m trying to understand from the language used on the site if I can use the fourth travel day for a night train out of Germany (would be well within the 1 month as only have 23 days to travel). I was looking at either Munich to Rome, Stuttgart to Venice, Hamburg to Vienna, Berlin to Vienna or Berlin to Paris. If breakfast is served as well I think that would make it even more exciting for them - any rec

Hi,I read on a blog that tram and bus transport on Switzerland is free via your hotel if you make them aware you have Eurail pass. I cannot find solid proof of that , and if it is all hotels - could anyone who's done such a thing confirm please? Is it only certain hotels , or are there various ways to get free or reduced public transport (other than the trains of course)Thanks

I do not consider myself as a “rail line collector” who celebrates with sparkling wine when traveling a special railway line the first time. (I have recently learned from a YouTube video that such guys exist.) But I had and still have a few lines which I want to travel on my bucket list. One of them was until 2025 the connection between Östersund in Sweden and Trondheim in Norway. The Norwegian part is called Meråkerbanen, since 2008 only until Hell where it joins the Nordlandsbanen. Before 2008 officially the end of the Meråkerbanen was Trondheim and the Nordlandsbanen branched off in Hell.My wish to travel this line goes back to my first trip to Scandinavia 1978 with an Interrail pass together with friends. The only type of pass at that time was a 1-month contiguous global pass for under 26 years old. We had come from Finland via Haparanda (which could be reached by broad gauge trains from Finland) and went from Boden to Narvik. Our plan was to take a bus from Narvik to Fauske and co

We had the plan to take SJ intercity train 96 to Gällivare after our one-week stay in Luleå. Then stay there overnight in Gälivare and travel by the Inlandsbanan tourist train south to Östersund next day. Train 96 with a departure time in Luleå at 10:40 appeared very convenient for us. Enough time to vacate the holiday home, park the rental car at the train station and drop the key at the reception of a nearby hotel. We booked the holiday home with AirBnB and reserved the car for the duration of our stay in Luleå ending on Aug. 13th, 2025 well in advance. I had not looked carefully enough on the timetable. Train 96 would run daily in August with one exception: the 13th. Fortunately there was one more train on this day, Vy Norrtåg service 7154, departure time 16:47. As we would have to return the car at noontime we would need to hang around in Luleå for about 5 hours with our luggage. In the middle of July a great surprise: Train 96 on Aug. 13th started to materialise in various travel

I’m booking from Bruge to Strasbourg and on the Time Table, I see 3 options for Strasbourg.  I want to go to the main station because it is very close to my hotel.  Do I choose “Strasbourg (France)” or something else?  I”m new to the pass and timetable.

  J’espère que vous allez tous bien, chers voyageurs d’Europe ! Je m’appelle Foussen, j’ai 25 ans, je suis étudiant en droit à Lille. Je m’apprête à passer un grand cap de ma vie afin de faire un tour d’Europe en train, et c’est une première pour moi. J’aimerais avoir vos conseils les plus importants afin de mieux me préparer à ce tour d’Europe, et j’aimerais faire ces villes à partir de Paris : Amsterdam - Berlin - Prague - Vienne - Venise - Milan - Genève ! J’ai hâte d’avoir vos conseils, et j’ai une question : après avoir acheté un pass, puis-je l’utiliser dans tous les trains de ces pays cités ? Suis-je obligé de réserver les places ? Je vous remercie d’avance pour vos prochains conseils et informations. Je vous souhaite une belle journée !Foussen

If you use any rail travel planner to find a route from Wien (Vienna) to Sweden the result is: Go to Hamburg in Germany first. Then enter Denmark at Padborg, cross the Storebælt and take in København a train, which takes you across the Öresund to Sweden. GPS shows me the geographic longitude at home is 16,39° East. A straight (in spherical geometry) line north at this longitude traverses the Czech Republic, meets the Baltic Sea in Poland, touches Öland Island and hits the Swedish mainland in Kalmar län (county), somewhat north of Kalmar. With reasonable deviations of about ±200km railways and the Baltic Sea ferry from Gdynia to Karlskrona follow this line. So this is definitely the shortest route from Wien to Sweden. Problems of DB with delays had for us already 2024 been an argument to travel by ferry across the Baltic Sea to Sweden.The recently introduced Baltic Express connection from Praha via Wrocław to Gdynia made it possible to avoid the detour via Warszawa.

I am planning to stay in Seville for Jan and Feb, hoping to use a Global Pass to sojourn, any recommendation for winter travel? Where to avoid?

In Linköping, our first destination in Sweden where we stayed overnight, we spent two nights in a hotel and headed the next day to Stockholm. The train we used was a SJ high speed train for which seat reservation was compulsory for Interrail/Eurail pass users. As we had used paper passes we could not make the seat reservation on SJ website or SJ app as pass users can only make seat reservation with a mobile pass electronically. Paper pass users can buy it by telephone, probably in person at a few stations or have to find some third-party website. This can be interrail.eu/eurail.com where a € 2,- booking charge was added on top of the reservation fee of SEK 65,- (approximately € 6,-) for a seat in a high-speed train. In the meantime the reservation fees of SJ were changed. We found out the SJ reservations can be bought on the website and app of Vy, the successor of the Norwegian State Railways which is also a train operator in Sweden under the brand Vy Norrtåg. I think there are a few m

Hi,I'm looking for travelling in Nature to south Europe. We don't want visiting big cities. Maybe someone have ideas?Kind regardsDennis

I'm planning a trip for 2,5 weeks and I got my route figured out for the most part. My idea was to see some cities I've never seen, enjoy it while having a route that makes sense and doesn't have very long travel days.I could get the 5 day pass and take a sleeper train home from Budapest but that doesn't appeal to me very much. The 7 day pass is only 47 euro's more but I do need a good city that is between Budapest and home. My plan is now:Train to Berlin (1 day stay since I've already been there but great city and only 4,5 hours by train from home)Berlin → (might get out in Dresden for lunch and fun) → Prague (3 day stay)Prague → Vienna (3 day stay)Vienna → Budapest (3 day stay)Budapest → ?? not sure yet, 1 maybe 2 or 3 day stay depends on the place Right now I'm thinking about:Innsbruck, drove through there a few years ago on the way to Neustift im Stubaital and had the greatest time. I've never visited Innsbruck itself so that might be nice, Stubaital is also only an hour by bus awa
