My husband and I are traveling November December. We have a 15 day in 2 month 1st class global pass. We plan London - Paris - interlaken - Florence - Rome - Venice - Salzburg - Budapest - Prague ( or maybe Venice - Budapest - Salzburg - Prague) - Berlin - Amsterdam - Brussels/Brugge - London. We are planning on spending 2 nights in each place not including London. I know this is very quick so I ask if anyone has any suggestions on how we can save time on travel ie maybe overnight trains just keeping in mind that we have only 15 travel days. Thanks for your help.

Hi all,I am going to Italy for the first time in my life and I want to take train from Rome to Milan on the morning of 8 Oct. I have checked on thetrainline.com and I saw from the government website (http://scioperi.mit.gov.it/mit2/public/scioperi)There is a locale strike on 7 Oct 21.01 to 8 Oct 21.00 but it seems that I can still make reservation under Eurail.Does anyone know how would it affect the train schedule from Rome to Milan? Or it is meaning that train will not arrive Milan on 8 Oct? Thanks so much in advance as I really have not much idea about Italy’s transport system.

Hi,so as we have planned our tour, we are going to travel also from Lulea to Helsinky. We found a train Lulea → Haparanda and then Tornio Itainen → Helsinki. On a map we can see, that Haparanda station and Tornio Itainen station is about one hour walk? Does anybody performed this trip? Is it easy to cross the border? Or is it even possible? I was looking on different maps and it looks like it is pretty easy (e.g. as crossing the borders from Czechia to Slovakia, you just walk :D). So I am just making sure, that its pretty easy and you just walk and you are in Finland.Thanks for your help

Me and my mom are planning to go to Rovaniemi from Kiruna via Haparanda-Tornio bus station in December. Can anyone suggest the best way for us?Is it possible not to stay overnight in Kemi? Is it possible to walking from Haparanda to Tornio bus station with large luggage in December? How long does it take? What are the Timetable and fare for bus from Tornio to Rovaniemi in December 2022?

Hi, I have a question about using a train from VY from Sweden to Norway. The following train is not shown in the Railplanner app, but it does appear on the Swedish (and Norwegian) railways site VY:R20 from Gothenburg to Oslo on 20.9.22 from 10:15 to 13:51https://www.vy.no/en /booking/customize?orderId=f6736cd8-50f4-4672-8072-057d2c1979bcIn the Railplanner App there are just trains with a change in Kil. These connections are not displayed to me on the VY website due to construction work.Can I use the train with an Interrail ticket or do I have to buy a extra ticket?  Thanks for your help.  

Hello everyone, I’m planning a family trip next year (2 adults, 2 children). We’re leaving from Manchester and hoping to get around Poland/Czech Rep/ Austria and back in 9-11 days. Does anyone have any advice on how close to Poland / Prague I can get on my first travel day? Has anyone done a similar trip? I’d like to take at least one sleeper train - can anyone recommend / advise on a sleeper train for any part of that journey? Looking forward to any input. Thanks all.

Goedemiddag, Als ik voor 1 week in Litouwen zou interrialen. Hoe kom ik dan van uit nederland in Litouwen?

Hallo,Ik wil op 12 september vanaf Den Haag of Rotterdam naar Florence. Graag via Duitsland, wil dit doen met de pas. Als ik een pas van 4 dagen neem, dan zou ik vanaf grens Duitsland naar Florence moeten gaan . vanaf welke plek in Nederland zou ik dan moeten reizen?

The interrail app options in cluded a setting for ferries but I can't select the Bari to Patras route in the planner. Am I doing something wrong?

As I'm planning my first Interrail, what do you suggest to budget for daily spendings (excluding accomodation)? I'm visiting Western European cities (Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin etc...) and I came to know that many museums and attractions are free, so food is basically the only concern and I'm willing to relay on supermarket food cooked in the hostel kitchen rather than restaurants. I was thinking to budget 30€ per day, but I found many videos telling that they spent a lot less per day excluding eating out.I'm interested about this topic because I have a budget of 1300€ and I'm wandering if it's possible to visit 7 cities in 21 days instead of the 6 in 18 days I was thinking about (Paris, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Berlin, Prague, Vienna), maybe adding Budapest to the journey. What do you think?

Hi, I am looking for some advice on travelling between Beograd and Zagreb. I am aware the line is currently shut but is there any buses that run from Beograd/Novi Sad to a bordering town/city i.e. Osijek, Vinkovci? Also, has anyone had any recent experience of travelling between Sofia and Beograd? Looks like it can be done via Nis with the aid of a bus from Dimitrovgrad.  Thanks for the help.

Hi.I am going to Portugal on Sept. for 5/6 days. It’ll be my first time going there. I definitely want to go to Lisbon and Porto and other popular areas for sightseeing. Are 6 days enough?

How can i travel with intereu from Istanbul to Getmany?

Is Italy south and south east of Bari still not accessible with an interrail pass? Does anyone happen to know?

I am trying to get my tickets in Paris to go from Lyon to the Eiffel tower but no train are available in any of the station I tried to look to. How can I do to use the ticket if there is no availability. 

Hey hey everyone! It is really nice to be here :) I’m currently looking into the Greek islands pass, and I wanted to know if there’s any page where I can find the ports for the ferry’s? It would be cool to have this handy to book the accommodation close to the ports. Also, tips about the best itinerary from Italy to the Greek islands would be much appreciated! Thank you so much, and nice travels! :)  

So with a lot of effort we made it to Athens, taking the bucharest sofia and a bus to thessaloniki route. Now we have enjoyed greece and want to slowly return home (Netherlands). I just don't see an effective/cheap/interrailly way of leaving here. Does anyone have some tips? Maybe an effective way of reaching croatia so we are back in railwayland?

Hi to all, I’m planning to go London from sofia via train but i didnt even travel once with neither interrail nor any other train. When i look into i saw that the route from sofia to london is a bit complicated one. So i need help from other experienced travelers. I only know that i need to go paris for london but i’m stranger to these things but wanna try. So my questions are on average how much it would cost to me, how many days it would take, is it reasonable to take train rather than plane, Which route i should take ? and what should beginners need to know about interrail and etc.

Is there someone currently in Montpellier who can help me find a cheap place to stay? My train got moved and everything I find is way to expensive.

Hello everybody A friend and I are leaving next week on our interrail trip in Europe. We would like to start with discovering the Greek islands, but when checking the timetables at the website of Interrail, there are no trains available to Athens. So we know the Hellas expres does not drive anymore so we are thinking to take a bus, but which bus connection do you recommend to get easy and on a budget to Athens?  ThanksssKato

Hi, I’m looking for hostel recommendations for 2 females!Somewhere clean, safe where we can meet people. But not super party vibes.  (Plus any recommendations of what to do in Vienna) Thanks :)

We are planning to travel Europe from Sept. thru Oct. Our itinerary isFrankfurt to GoslarGoslar to WernigerodeWernigerode to QuedlinburgQuedlinburg to BerlinBerlin - Prague - Rome - Frankfurt Looks like the Eurail pass is the way to go for the big cities. Is there a pass that works for the small cities too?i.e. Frankfurt - Goslar - Wernigerode - Quedlinburg - Belin Or do we just have to buy individual tickets for those trips? Thanks.

Hi all!I want to go on a regional train tomorrow from Modena to Parma as part of my Italy interrail trip.However, I only found 3 regional trains departing at 9, 10 and 11 AM. Checking the trenitalia website, I could see that there are many more trains that do not appear in the timetable.I know the possibility of adding them to the trip manually as I have already done it, but I want to make sure that doing so won't be a problem if an inspector checks my ticket (I say if because the inspectors don't always go by, specially in regional trains).If you have ever taken this solution, could you tell me your experience?Thanks in advance. Best,Pablo.
