Hello,The interrail website reads that only the following Cyclade islands are covered with the Greek ferry pass: Amorgos, Anafi, Donoussa, Ios, Iraklia, Kea, Koufonissi, Mykonos, Naxos, Paros, Santorini, Schinoussa, Syros, and Tinos.Shall I take it that Milos and Sifnos, for instance, are excluded? I have been checking out traveler blogs where they mentioned they could use the pass to visit these two islands too - this got me confused.Any clarification welcome!Many thanksM.

I'm on a local train trip which is not in your app. How do I add it?

Oh well, I did it. For a long time, visiting the British Isles have been on my agenda, but now travelling there seems to be a distinct possibility.Due to the strikes in Germany I don’t book yet, but I made some basic plan.I want to some hiking in two or three areas, in addition I wanna participate on three different parkruns. In theory, this should be doable, but I’m happy to hear comments by people with more UK train experience.Pass Day 1 - from Freiburg, Germany via Brussels all the way to Yorkstay the weekend in York for historical sightseeing and parkrunPass Day 2 - after the weekend from York to a place in the Scottish Highlands; Fort William seems to be a bit difficult by train, so maybe Oban or Aviemore? The place should be a good base for day hikes, maybe in connection with bus rides.Stay the following the weekend in Edinburgh for historical sightseeing and parkrun, probably not using the IR pass.Pass Day 3 - after the weekend from Edinburgh to Lake District or maybe directly t

Hello all - first time using this site but hoping you guys have some tips/inspiration! In August we need to be Malaga on the weekend of 24th/25th - can you suggest a scenic route that we can do with overnight stays on the way to Malaga and on the way home from Malaga.We will start and end the travel from London so could do the Eurostar - length of the trip is maximum 10/14 days due to work and school.Looking for inspiration of where would great to stop onroute to Malaga - i.e Eurostar to Paris, stay overnight, next day train to next destination and stay overnight etc etc.Thanks!

Hello everyone,I would like to draw your attention to a problem that I have noticed, especially when planning my Interrail trip to the British Isles next summer, but which may also be a problem in other countries.The ferry route between Rosslare Harbour (Ireland) and Pembroke (South Wales) is currently operated by Irish Ferries. In recent weeks, the Norbay ferry (aka Economy Ferry) has been operating there, on which no pedestrians or cyclists are permitted - so you can't travel on it as a train passenger.The pedestrian-friendly ferry "Oscar Wilde", which is actually intended for this route, has not been used on this route in recent weeks. It is currently running again, but only until March 19 according to the plan, then it will be the Norbay ferry again.Although there is an alternative route offered by Stena Line from Rosslare to Fishguard, on which foot passengers are always permitted, Fishguard is less convenient for many people, and this route was also completely canceled until mid-

We are traveling to Scandinavia on march 22 and we have to transfer in Hamburg Hbf to S3 (s-bahn). Does anyone know a route for this? Is it an other location where we have to go to get on the S3?

Hi! I am planning to do an Interrail trip for 4 days in May.I saw that seat reservations are optional on some journeys.In these cases, is there any risk that the train will be full and I won't be able to board if I don't have a reserved seat?Thank you for your help!

Hi everyone !!I’m leaving for a 1 week interrail in Norway an Sweden (leaving from France) between the 11 and 17 of February (next week).First, if anyone is doing kind of the same trip in the same dates, I’m flexible so we can do some of the travels together !Second, I see that on the interrail app, even if I ask to go north going trough Norway, it always advises me to go through Sweden. Are the transports in Norway really bad / slow or it’s just the app which is just lacking some information ? thank you for your answers and maybe see you ! 🚞

We’ve all seen the news about the war in Ukraine and many of us have read articles about the amazing railway network all over the country. It’s inspired me to go there, see the beautiful sights and meet the people of Ukraine once the war is over. I’m sure lots of other people feel the same - it’s a beautiful country and one I didn’t know much about beforehand.Would it be an expression of peace, friendship, solidarity and warm hopes for the future to add the Ukrainian railway network to the global Interrail/Eurail pass at this moment in time? I certainly think it would be hopeful, a good advert for Ukraine and would be good for Interrailers too. Is there a movement to do this, and who should we contact if not?

Hi, I'm creating my interrail itinerary for late April/early May, over 2 and a half weeks, starting from France. I haven't had any trouble planning it to Zagreb. I want to go from Zagreb to Istanbul, stopping in Belgrade and Sofia. I've seen that there's a train, but I don't know if it's usable or not. Can you tell me if this route is feasible, and if so, how?If not, what route can I take from Zagreb to Istanbul? Thank you :) 

Hello! I was thinking about going to Istanbul but the train connection in the east parte of Europe is a bit difficult to understand... I'll be in Budapest and I think that the best way Is to go to Bucarest and from there I saw there is a bus... Do you know if the bus Is included? I don't know how to understand if the bus Is part or not of the ticket. And, to come back, I need to go to Vienna after, do you have suggestions about the way to follow?

Hi, I’m Amelia. I’m going to travel to the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Italy and Austria, probably in September. I’d love to learn about less known places, cities, events or foods that are worth a try. If you live in one of these countries, please give me some ideas for my trip. If there is anything specific I should know about traveling by train in these countries, I’d love to know too. :) 

Hi everyone!I know, that there had been lots of questions about traveling thorough Baltic area. But still I want to ask you again. Is there any possibility, that we can somehow combine train and bus to travel from Riga to Vilnius? We really need to plan this route so any advice would help us.Thanks a lot!Anet

Hi!We are planning to interrailing through Europe this summer for a month and could use some help with our route. It is our first time. We will start from Stockholm and then make our way to Paris, Barcelona, the French Riviera (Nice, with a day trip to Monaco, and then possibly to either Marseille, Saint Tropez, Cannes), then Monterosso, Milan, a day trip to Venice, maybe a day trip to Rome and Pisa, then to (Kandersteg or Lauterbrunnen or Interlaken), maybe Zurich, maybe Bled, and finally Berlin and Copenhagen. We are open for changes, removing some places, replacing others, and rearranging the order. We haven't fully decided the destinations yet, so we welcome all the recommendations we can get. Can you help us find the most convenient route and if we should remove any destination?

Hi allWe are traveling by train from Switzerland to Italy between 26 Feb to 8 Mar 24 and following the route Zurich to Milan to Venice to Florence to Rome. We have an option to stay 3 nights in Milan and 2 nights in Florence or vice versa. I am after your suggestion if Milan where we should spend 3 nights or should we spend 3 nights in Florence which will leave 2 nights for Milan. Our interests of seeing Italy are from both an ancient historical side as well as a 21st century modern Italian life, say roughly 50% 50%
