Dear fellow travellers,for this year, I plan on travelling through the Netherlands and visit some friends along the way.I have a few questions:Is it even worth it to get an Interrail Pass for this (I didn’t see a specific country pass anyway)? If I’d decided to visit other countries as well at this trip, which ones would you combine with this trip? Regardless of the first two questions, what should I definitely see in the Netherlands?Kind regards,Marts

Survey: 50 years of Interrail - a link between Europe? Hello, I'm Carolin, a student from Germany and I'm currently writing a thesis for my Abitur on the subject of "50 years of Interrail".In this context, I am interested how the experiences of the Interrail travelers have influenced the "European thought".For this I have prepared a small survey made up of 5 simple questions. The survey is anonymous, takes a maximum of 3 minutes, and takes place on the survey platform "SurveyMonkey"; data protection is guaranteed. Anyone who has already made an Interrail trip can take part.I would be very happy if you would support me by participating! And here is the link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.de/r/N3V8L7H

Hello, I am currently planning an interrail trip for August! I was just wanting a little bit of advice about how long to spend in each place? For example, I was going to buy the 10 travel day pass and travel for 3 weeks, I have 10 places down to visit, averaging 2 days in each place (so travelling to next place every other morning/evening) Here is my preliminary itiniary, does anyone know if this will be doable at all? Or is it worth taking out one place or so just to lengthen it out slightly? Just don't want to be stressed moving lots from one place to another! Thank you so much! 

Hey,I'm not sure, how it's possible to get new lines into the interrail pass. I was researching this year about overtourism/ public transportation in Iceland. There's the idea to add bus services in the pass, like between France and Spain, to stop the high usage of cars by tourists there. How can we support to bring the long-distance bus company and Eurail together in a dialog? Greetingsnnf635

So I’m relatively new here so please excuse any issues in the phrasing.I’ve booked a 15 travel days within 2 months interrail pass to go around Europe from the 29th April - 10th July with a friend, this is our first big trip and I'm doing most of the organising as I like to know exactly what I'm doing at all times (occupational hazard of being a perfectionist!) Our trip is taking us in a reverse C shape starting in Belgium and winding down through Prague and Vienna. But I’ve reached a bit of an impasse though when navigating travel through and around Croatia. The plan was to go from Lake Bled, Budapest, Zagreb & Split, Sofia and then down to Athens. I understand the trainlines are under construction but I'm struggling to find any reasonable route through this area that isn't 48 hours long! Is there any way I can reroute the current countries or maybe include another stop that would make the journey easier? I’m flexible on not going to Sofia but the others are pretty important to vi

I need help/advice for the following itinerary by train. Thank you.Feb 20 - Munich to St. MoritzFeb 25 - St. Moritz to Kitzbuehel, AustriaMarch 2 - Kitzbuehel - Munich 

Thus must be a simple question available somewhere but could someone tell me what EU countries accept Eurail global pass which are not in Schengen zone? I think UK is one. Maybe Scandinavian countries? 

I want to surprise my wife with like a 14-21 days trip across Europe and wherever we go to end up by train. We have never been on trains before like this, and would like to hit as many beautiful places in the alloted time, but still have time to enjoy them.No need for return trip to Lisbon, as we will be flying back to Canada after this train ride. Would love to hear some great ideas as beginners...I've heard people going as far east as Asia, some east then south, etc etc....we are open minded....thank you so much

Hey, we are just starting our Italy Interrail trip, our first stop is Milano. Any tips where to go etc.?:)  

Hello! We are looking at going from Barcelona to Amsterdam making two stops in France. We want to visit two cities which is not Paris and was wondering what your recommendations are? cheers!

Hello,First time user here, i’d like to know if Interrail pass for a Brest (France) to Berlin (Germany) 2 way trip would work ?We plan to go there around May 2022 and Interrail is cheaper than ordering directly from french rail company (SNCF).I guess i would take the 4 day 1 month pass.Thank you for your help.

Hi, i go to Prague in a week and want to purchase my metro 3 days ticket on my phone , but unsure of how to validate the ticket, i understand how to validate the paper ones but unsure of how it works on the mobile and don’t want to get caught and have a fine.  fhankyou 

Hey! I'm planning next year a trip to south-east europ.But there are a cuple of countries wich aren't in the area schengen (for example Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria ...) Do I need a Visa for those countries?Has anyone experience with that?

Hi everyone! I’ll be a first-timer on trains in the spring, and have a few questions. I’m flying into Rome, am there for 3 nights, and then going up to the Cinque Terre for 4 nights, and then to Paris. I hope to stop in Florence for the day between Rome and 5T, and then again in Milan between 5T and Paris. I then plan to take 3 or 4 day trips from Paris. It seems to me from my research that the price of a 7-days within 1 month pass is similar (minorly more expensive) than buying tickets individually. My questions are these:Will the Eurail pass include getting directly into 5T? I’m staying in Riomaggiore.  The day trips I plan to take from Paris include Giverney, Reims, Mont St Michel, and maybe one other smaller town/city/village (Colmar, Orleans, …. any recommendations?) Are these places included?  Is there a special schedule we need to book from? I’ve been scouring train sites directly, as well as sites like Rome2Rio, and have an idea of what times I want to catch my trains at, but I

Hi all, Looking for advice on the following route, I will be starting in Krakow and finishing in Budapest.I have 2 weeks which will be flexible where I don’t plan to stall anywhere for more then two nights. I’ll travel to Budapest after Krakow then to Zagreb, I had hoped to go to either Slit or Dubrovnik but they seem to isolated from all major rail lines. I was hoping Belgrade next but the app doesn’t seem to be giving me any route from Zagreb. My question is what is the best direct route from Zagreb to Budapest, including a couple of stops along the way, Sofia would be my last stop before Budapest .!Any help would be greatly appreciated.! ✌️

Just a few quick comments on my Eurail experience so far.  My wife and I are finally in Europe from the USA and have traveled a few trains already.  My observation thus far…absolutely no problems!!  Finding the trains, adding to both trips and generating tickets has been very easy. I admit that I have yet to do a reservation, or high speed train but I’m hopeful that too will be as trouble free.  However, if I do run into a snag I feel certain I can find a resolution here, or at least a pointer to where I can find help.  We have 3 months to travel around Europe and so far we’re enjoying ourselves.   

Hello! I will go to France, Paris, but I will comeback from Italy, Rome. Do you guys think I should visit Spain? How do you guys think I should do this? 

Why am I not able to add certain stations to my itinerary using the Trip Planner>  For example, I cannot add Tours, France as my next destination within y itinerary from Barcelona, Spain?  The closest I can get is Le Mans?

Hi, I’m looking to travel with my three children from Greece to France via Montenegro rather than Italy, does anyone have and tips or advise? Thanks so much 

Hey there!I am going to travel to Spain from sweden and would like some tips! I see that there are two trains with departure from gothenburg (sweden) to Madrid (spain) but on the way there are some trains where you have to buy a seat. Is it common? If i buy an interrail pass do i still have to buy seats in some of the trains?
