Hi,me and a friend are going on interrail in june / july for 6 weeks. We will visit the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary and Croatia. (more specifically; Amsterdam, Bruges, Bern, Como, Venice, Vienna, Prague, Bratislava, Budapest, Ljubljana and Split) Should we book trains / hotels in advance; if so how long before? We would prefer to be able to book during the trip but we are skeptical about whether trains and hostels will be sold out as it is high season.Does anyone have experience that trains have been sold out or will there always be available trains every day?

There are no night trains in Inter rail from Peninsula Iberica (Portugal and Spain) and i want so much to have good train experiences. Can you help me?

Hello Eurail CommunityCan somebody coach me in searching a journey from Koeln HBF Station to Bruhl Station (Bruhl, Germany). Bruhl Station is the nearest station to the Bruhl Castle. I seem to not finding in the Eurail Trip planner this Bruhl Station and I cannot find it using the DB Navigator App either.Thank you for any help and coaching.RegardsNathaniel 

We want to start our trip on May 5 from Barcelona. Going north along the French coasr. But what should be our first stop? We really don’t know. Any suggestion for a nice place, easy to reach?

We’re very keen to use rail, not air, to get to Croatia from the UK this August after two years of pause … but have no idea whether a Eurail pass is the best way to do that.  Is it?

Hi,I am new and never used Eurail before. I have two children who are 11 and 7. I am really wanting to do a two week summer trip around Europe with them using Eurail. Was just wanting to see if anyone else has travelled on here or any advice you can give me.

Hi there!I am new to the interrail community and I am not sure how to work with it, so maybe you can help? :)This summer I would love to explore Czech by bike. I am only able to go around 10 days. What is the most efficient way?The one country pass will be (I think) the best pass for my situation. That means that I can hop on the train in Keulen and go to Berlin, and from Berlin I can go to Prague (day 1). Then I can go back the same way (day 10). I saw that it’s only available to get a one country pass for 3 days, but I can't travel inside Prague since Prague is the only station in Czech. So one day will get lost? I don’t really know. Also, you can only use it for one month, but does that mean 4 weeks or for example only the month July. Because I can only go from the end of July - beginning of August.Besides that I would want to take my bike, but I cannot find any information about this.Does someone know how this works and how I can organize my trip?Thank you so much.Kind regards,Jess

I would like to travel to Greece via Paris, Nice, Rome, Bari then ferry to Greece in 7 days - is this too much to try and fit in? I have not done Inter rail before. 

I just need some general advise. I haven’t done Interrail for some 40 years and time has passed, I’m very rusty and much older getting my head around Interrail now is proving difficult, can anyone help? I am planning a trip to Italy starting next Monday and I have not booked anything yet. I am flying to Milan and taking a train to Lake Como for the first few days, I probably can do that on a normal ticket rather than using one of my travel days (I was thinking of buying a 6 day travel pass one country). I want to travel from Milan to the following places, Cinque Terra, Pisa, Florence, Siena, Rome, Naples (Pompeii and Sorrento) - then the final leg Naples to Syracuse in Sicily. I really don’t know how to start to book, all my trains / reservations or even if this is the best way to do it. I really need any help that anyone can offer me please to point me in the right direction, I am just finding it all a bit overwhelming.  Please can someone advise me? Thank you in advance.

I would like to use the pass in Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia. Which buses in these countries are included in the interrail pass?

Hello everybody,as I'm collecting informations for my next trip (maybe summer 2022) through Scandinavia, I just found out that a swedish company will offer a route from Berlin- Hamburg -Malmö- Stockholm. Can't believe how lucky I am,  because it travels to Hamburg, and that would be the perfect route for me. Wanted to share this information and happiness with you. 😊Just wondering how the "recliner seats" will be, sounds like you can line them up, that it's an even place to sleep on. And that or a normal seat are the only options for solo traveller... Has anyone from you yet traveled with Snalltaget? And expierence with this recliner seats?https://www.snalltaget.se/en/berlinBest wishes,Dot

Is there any alternative to high speed trains to go from Stockholm to Oslo

Hi,I'm trying to plan a trip through scandinavia by train. Now I see on the rail map that (with interrail?) I can't travel to a place like Narvik. When I enter this place in the travel planner I can travel to this station. Does anyone know how this works?Is the rail map not correct? Or does this destination perhaps not fall under interrail travel?

As far as I can tell from other conversations in here, it is not necessary to book seat reservations between Chur and Tirano. Is that true and what about in the high season? We are traveling on 18 July and will be traveling all the way (3-4 hrs) to get to Tirano to spend the night. Any tips? It seems from both ÖBB and SBB  websites that it is not possible to book at seat reservation. But is it not necessary?

How would I get from Rome centre to Vatican City and how much would it cost?

I bought a Eurail Pass but the schedule for a few routes I need is. not open yet. It seems that since this is less than 2 months away, I would be able to reserve seats. I am needing Florence to Ravenna on June 18, 2022 and Ravenna to Rome on June 26, 2022. I am only seeing trains available through June 11 and there is only one per day? Does anyone know when I these needed trains will be available to reserve?

I want to buy unlimited ticket train to go from Istanbul to Malaga can I do that or not?

Or is it just impossible to visit this countries right now?Is there an official website or somethingsomething where I can find some information? Thanks for your support!

The goal was to do it by train, which seemed possible according to the Eurail map.Fact is, today December 2021, it seems there are no more trains entering Turkey, nor Bulgaria.What are the current options to go as close to Turkey as possible by train ?Thank you :) 

Hi👋,I'd love to travel to Istanbul by train. I read earlier in an answer that generally many routes are currently out of service.Is there a way to get to Istanbul by train or is it just not possible?I'm looking forward to get any helpful information :)

HiI would like to go to stambul. I have the global pass but i cant find a route with the app. How can i go? Planes it is not an option.😁 thanks  

Hello.It seems that the Eurostar in train is already sold out for May 30, so I would like to take a bus late in May 29. How can I buy a ticket using the Eurail discount?Thanks for your time.

SOLVEDUpdate: I think I found it, there is a nighbus to Castets  Hello I’m looking for suggestions to travel from San Sebastian to Vielle-Saint-Girons. No trains I guess but also I cannot find bus routes  Tips and/or a good route planner for this area are welcome!Thank you  

Hi there, I’ve booked a 4 Day Global Pass and want to confirm that the following trip is possible using this passing. The trip involves one night train which seemed to confuse the planner as to how many days of travel would be required. I read that if I take a night train directly (without changing trains) between two destinations that this only counts as one day of travel. Can you please confirm that the following trip only requires a four day pass? The trip is as follows:27/06: Sibiu (23:01) → Budapest (8:50)+130/06: Budapest (07:40) -→ Prague (14:42)01/07: Prague (14:25) -→ Berlin (18:35)04/07: Berlin (08:31) -→ Paris (16:54) Kindly,Corey
