I had been planning trip from Naples to Paris in a single day on 20 May, one night hotel in Paris before returning to UK on 21 May.However, Naples to Paris is to be over 2 days.  I had thought overnight in Mulhouse, because its small so should be easier for accommodation near the station.  A commenter has put me off staying there.My requirements are this: an easy trip on day 2 so can grab a good few hours in Paris.  A place that is safe, cheap and easily accessible to the train station for an early start on day 2 to Paris.  Low reservations.  And preferably beautifully scenic.That is the ideal, asking a lot, but prepared to compromise.  Also happy to have longer connections in interesting stations .Any ideas and plans would be gratefully accepted.Thank you 

Hello everyone!Just landed at Copenhagen Airport and activated my Eurail Global pass. Planning a trip to Hamburg, Germany.The guy at the DSB ticketing counter is telling me I have to go the main Railway Station which is Kobenhavens Lufthaven... Which is CPH Lufthaven in English, I suppose.But isn't that the airport station itself? I mean, I am at the airport station itself because I just flew into Copenhagen Airport...Can anybody point me to the name of the station I need to enter on the pass to catch trains to Hamburg?Thanks in advance!

Hey:) so some friends and I want to go from Zurich to Palermo by train. We saw that there was a train from Milan to Palermo, so we thought we could take it as a night train, which would count as one day. Now that we are planning in the app the only options that show up all have 4-8 connections and some don’t include the ferry (which the train goes on) Can someone tell me if it’s even possible to take the night train from Milan to Palermo with interrail? Should I ask an Italian train office? 

It is our first time travelling through Europe (2 adults and an 8 year old) via train and we are going from Paris to St Moritz on Saturday 5th April. Our two options are the 7:22 via Zurich to arrive at 15:07 or the 8:27 via Mulhouse ville and Basel to arrive at 17:07.The second option has 3 changes and is a little longer but also cheaper and a more sociable departure time! The cost is not a huge factor in this but I have read the Paris - Zurich train is a beautiful route.Which route would you recommend and are we asking for more potential issues by having 3 stops rather than 2.Many thanks!

My family and I are arriving in Nice on the night train from Paris in late July. We then wish to travel to Rome. What is the best way to do this? Ideally we would visit Florence on the way. Or, take another night train from somewhere? Thank you 

Hello! I am planning a trip for the summer. I would like to train from London to Istanbul, in approximately 2 weeks, and stop in maybe 3-4 places on the way. Happy to use overnight trains. Travelling alone so safety is key. Any advice on routes would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, my name is Jonathan and today I found out that I got the EU Pass, and tbh I have no idea where to go. I love Italy (born there) and I go there sometimes, but I feel like I should see something new. I’m from Warsaw, Poland and I will be travelling alone. Also my budget is very low ;p 

Hey, I’m located in Thessaloniki, Greece and I’m trying to plan my trip from here. I wanted Barcelona to be my first destination however I can find any roots, not even from Athens. Our railway here is owned by Hellenic Train which doesn’t seem to do trips anywhere out of the country. Has anyone ever travelled from here by train? I need some help. Do I have to go by plane and if so is this covered by the interrail pass?

Hi Community, I am visiting Europe for the first time with my family (2 adults and 2 kids (10,14 yrs) for around 8-9 days. Reaching Rome via flight. 2 days in Rome, 1 day each in Florence and Venice. Than planning to take a train from Venice to Paris and after 2 days in Paris. Train to Interlaken (1.5 days) and back to Rome via train. I need your expert opinion: 1. Do you think this itenary with work?2. Do you think 5-7 days pass will be beneficial. Also does the pass work in local transport (within a city) or just intercity and country.3. If this doesnot work can you suggest a trip? We will be in Rome on March 25th and will depart back from Rome on April 2nd (Noon).Appreciate your expert Advice ASAP. Thanks  

Hi everyone, I am in Switzerland and want to take my son on a fun mountain day trip from  Basel on saturday for his birthday. He's turning 12 and I'm looking into the different opitions glaciers, snowparks, gondolas up beautiful summits etc. what would you recommend? We have a 1rst class interrail ticket so also open to suggestions on perks and discounts it might be worth making the most of. Probably won't go skiing as it seems a bit short and pricey once you get all the equipment plus my son has only been skiing once so he'd probably have to take lessons to enjoy it. Thanks for your adice!

Hi everybody,I am planning my first Interrail trip for June. I will be traveling with my 10 year old daughter. I planned to start the trip by flying to Thessaloniki and then continuing the journey along the route Skopje–Belgrade–Budapest–Krakow–Warsaw. However, after doing some research, it seems that Greece, Macedonia, and Serbia might not be the best options due to the lack of train connections. I have tried to find routes from various sources but with little success. Do you have any good tips for this route, or should I completely rethink my travel plan? 🤔   

I’m looking to plan a 3 week-ish trip in September with my 4 year old. It won’t all be solo, but some of it will be. Have not bought a pass and have no restrictions on that at the moment. Looking to plan the best route that works for us and then see what pass suits our needs. First of all, I’m looking for specific advice on travelling alone with a young child.Are there any top tips? What I might not have thought about?  Are there any destinations that just worked really well for your kid - not focused on child activities - she’s an incredibly easy going traveller, eats everything, loves a city vibe and is happy with an occasional a playpark, so any suggestions will do!Second of all, route advice with a child this age.We need to plan a return route from Glasgow for three weeks, ideally no fly but not against taking a flight one direction for ease and to maximise the adventure given our distance from the Eurostar.  The only must stop is Munich, at the request of my daughter. We managed a

Hello! I am looking for a travel time between France to Italy using this train? I’ve looked all over and I can not see a clear time between the two. Thank you!

Hi everyone,  on the Eurail map in front of me, I see coloured lines. There is a red line from Toulouse in France, via Latour de Carol, Puigcerdá to Barcelona. In other words,  according to this map, I can go that route with Eurail. However,  when I enter this in the planner, there is no option such as this.How does this work?

Will be traveling in Vienna and would like to go into Bratislava, Slovakia and Hungary (anywhere across the border), mainly jjust for the aspect of saying I’ve been there, rather than doing lots of touristy stuff. Just a quick trip in to each country and then back to Vienna in the same day (or even a few hours depending on how long this takes). Would it be best to use a full day of my Eurail pass just for this (otherwise I am using local Vienna pass only since I’m just in Vienna), or are there cheap routes from Vienna into these countries with a quick trip back? Any suggestions on routes or what is cheapest? Would prefer to save a day of the Eurail pass and just use local passes if possible. Thanks for any ideas. 

Hello Community, I'd be extremely grateful for some advice on a 14 day trip itinerary in August I'm trying to pull together for my family (kids aged 8 and 10) The more I look the harder it seems to become, with night trains etc etc.  I have a rough outline, which is below 👇. But Im getting stuck on the details. Please please please help. I'm more than happy to copy try and tested routes. The trip outline is; Leave London, travel to Paris and stay for night or two, then travel into Switzerland, to stay around or at Interlaken for 4-5 days, then head to coast resort or town where ideally there is a euro camp or equivalent (france). From the resort, head back to London or if more appropriate fly back. Thanks all

Hej hej interrailers, i want to go to Norway and Finland on my trip. Do you know if it’s possible to go from Norway to Finland (over Sweden) via train or do i need to fly from one country to the other?Thanks for your answers and recommendations!Lea

Hi everyone, We have a week in Portugal (Carvoeiro) booked in August and I’ve got a global pass to get down there and back again - there are 3 of us; me, my husband and my 11 year old son. I was thinking Paris - Barcelona - Seville and then bus along the south coast to Carvoeiro. But starting to think that Seville in August might be a bad idea heat-wise, and actually I’d really like to visit some of the northern cities like Bilbao and Santander.I was just wondering if someone had any experience and advice of a route we could take - I’d quite like to spend 2 or 3 nights in each city if possible, and then take a different, possibly more direct, route home. Any advice about good routes would be really welcome; we’re very open to sleeper trains and happy to pay seat reservations for high speed trains. Many thanks everyone!

Hey Peps :) I am Julia, 26, from Austria and completely new on this platform! Currently, I am in hospital und from March on I want to take a gap year and have the time of my life: finally seeing the world and having a life worth living. First, I thought of going abroad and staying in for example Spain for a longer period of time, however, why not exploring more destinations.my question to you: do you have some great examples of your (first) or best routes (and how long you’ve stayed anywhere). Just comment :) secondly, if you have similar ambitions or maybe already planned smth, why not traveling together? Just reach out to me🌼😊

Hello! According to our plans, unfortunately, the train journey from Turkey to Berlin exceeds 1 day by about 40 minutes. To solve this problem, we made a plan to get off at the Prague Hilavni Nadrazi stop, walk to another stop, and then take a bus to Berlin. Can you suggest a better plan or give me some advice?
