I planned my trip frome france through amsterdam, london and manchester. i understand that we have the right for 2 inbound/outbound travel, in my cas one to amsterdam and one from manchester. However, interrail counts our trip from amsterdam to london as an inbound/outbound ( i guess because it is a eurostar, thus it passes through Lille, in France). Is it normal ? can we solve the issue ? do we have to book another train separately. Thanks !

For anyone that has travelled as a 17 year old with their 18 year old friends, what sort of documents have you had to take, and have you got any tips on how to make moving between borders smoother?

How good does it work when you do the reservation on the desk at the railwaystation

Hey everyone 👋On 4 May, we'll be taking down the Trip Planner on our website. We know some of you have been using it to map out your trips, and we hope the tools below will serve you just as well. If you're currently working on a plan, now's a good time to take a screenshot or jot down your notes. Plans aren't saved locally, so they won't be accessible after that date.From 4 May, these are your go-to tools for planning your next adventure:The Rail Planner app, where you can plan, save and manage everything in one place Our Planning guide, which walks you through the process step by step and includes a full railway map The Timetable for checking connections across Europe And of course, our community — where we are always happy to help you shape a route! Any questions or thoughts?

We need help with the seatplace reservation for trains in Spain. Is it possible to buy seatplace reservation at the trainstations in Spain? Because the seatplaces over the Interail App are booked out. Does anyone have experience with that?? Please respond, if you know something, it would be really helpful to us! 

Hello, I’ve tried everything to book seats on the Marseille–Madrid AVE on 18 September 2026. Having waited the 90 days before departure, I can’t buy them on the Interrail website, Happy Rail, RailEurope or by phone through Renfe. Any ideas?

Hi! We've been travelling for over two weeks now and there is an issue with rail planner that is beciming a problem. Whenever we are using mor than two trains per travel day, details of train number three (or four) is not showing app in the tickets. We have checked both view today's tickets and the tickets directly under the passes. This problem is connected to my wife rail planner app. My tickets show up as they should. And yes we have restarted the phone and reinstalled tha app and everything. Any ideas what we could do?

As the title said, I'm looking to see if there are any big group chats with fellow interrailers currently active for the upcoming summer season. I'd really love to see if people are in the same city as me while I am there and make new connections that way! I hoped to be able to connect with some people at the DiscoverEU meetup in Utrecht last week, but that sadly got cancelled due to the heat, hence why I am asking around here. If you know of any active group chats, please let me know below! Also, if there are no active group chats and you would like one to exist; let me know too! Maybe if enough people are interested we can make something happen :)

I want to explore the art cinema and check out theaters in Krakow. I'm here only for a day. Any recommendations? 

Hello fellow Interrailers! I'm new here, but I'm very excited to be part of this community! 😍Question to the Polish people: I'm currently traveling with some friends to Krakow, and since we're all cinema lovers, we were wondering whether there's any cinema-related activities that you guys would recommend doing in Krakow or in a close-by town. Thank you very much in advance!Cheers,Midori

Hi, I am travelling with my family, we are four, and we also travel with another family of four. First question: when I activate the rail passes for me in the Rail Planner app, will the passes to my three connected family members also be activated? Or do they all have to have their own pass on their own device and activate it themselves? My youngest kid does not have a mobile, so how does that work?Secondly: I am wanting to book a train leg in France, and if we can get the reservation, I want to make sure we are in the same train, sitting somewhat together.  Will it be a problem if I add the other family’s passes to my seat reservation, either in the Rail planner app or with SNCF? Will the other family be able to access and use their interrail passes on other trains where they dont travel with us, if I add them to my trip and my booking? thank you so much🤞🏼❤️ 

Dear Hive Mind,We had Eurail tickets booked from Bologna to Munich (3rd July) on FR 8502, but this train is now not running because of the closure of the line from Bologna to Padua.We then tried to book from Bologna to Munich on RJ 88 via Verona and Trento but for some reason the Eurail site is not allowing this booking to proceed. It currently says ‘there’s a technical error on our end and please check later’. Any solutions please? Thank you.

Hello everyone, on 9th july i have a train from sweden to germany. The first train is around 4pm, the second 8pm, the last 11pm just before midnight, and i arrive 7am 10th july in berlin. Am i using one travel day or two? Confused

Hello, I had a discover EU ticket last year, but this year I have an interrail ticket. When I want to make seat reservations, I have to select a journey, but the only journeys that are shown to me, are the ones that are on my discover eu app. But the journey that is connected to my valid interrail pass is not shown, so when I make a reservation, how do I know if it is connected to my pass, if the journey is not connected to it?Plus, my girlfriend has a discover EU ticket. Can we book seats that are next to each other because she can‘t add my pass to her reservation and it says we have different pass conditions, but I could connect her pass to my reserstion. Maybe this is because when I want to connect, it does not connect to my interrail pass but my discover EU pass from last year that is invalid.Does anyone have an idea on what to do?Or is there another option to book seats in france, like on the sncf-website?I hope someone can understand my problem. Thank you!

Ik wil graag een leuke plek om te overnachten in Berlijn voor mij alleen. Misschien zelfs een plek waar meer solo reizigers zijn om samen wat leuks te doen. Liefst niet te duur. 

Kia ora folks, I was wondering if anyone has previously taken the replacement bus from Lupoglav to Rijeka. I’m just asking because the trip planner has the journey taking 40 minutes, yet Google says it’s a 60 minute drive between these two places. Does anyone have an experience of how long this bus trip takes? Ideally I would take the bus, but if does take 60 minutes then I will miss my connection out of Rijeka :(

Buongiorno comunity, vorrei fare il mio primo viaggio interrail con mio figlio di10 anni. Volevo sapere se con il pass di 4 o 5 giorni, potevo fare queste tappe:Partenza da Pescara a Trento. Ripartire il giorno dopo da Trento per Günzburg.Dopo un paio di giorni a Günzburg, ripartire per Peschiera del Garda. Sostare ed il giorno dopo ripartire e rientrare a Pescara. grazie mille a chi risponderà. 

Hello !Does anyone have an axperience about travelling with a dog and an interrail pass ?We want to travel in France and Italy with our dog next week ( 29 march-6 april). We havn't buy the interrail pass yet because we can't find a clear information about how to buy him his ticket.Indeed, we can buy a ticket for a dog in the website if we buy an adult ticket. But with interail we dont buy an adult ticket. So how to buy the dog ticket ? We already called trenitalia and they dont have an answer. So we are a bit blocked.Thanks a lot !

My wife and I have senior interrail passes and we are travelling out from St Pancras International on 23rd July at 11.30 for Paris.  We’ve then allowed a two hour gap to get us onto the train for Chambery at Paris Lyon and the following day travel to Torino and finally Rome.   We each have four day passes - thereby allowing us 2 days travel out and 2 days travel back and are away for 9 days in total.  I am keeping a check on the number of cancellations that are happening on Eurostar and I am starting to get anxious.  We live relatively close to London and the fare for both of us to get there is about £40.  I’m currently minded to buy tickets to London on the day we are scheduled to travel out rather than commit to using that as our travel day out of our own country.  And instead only activate our passes when we get to St Pancras just in case of a late cancellation.   I am being silly being this cautious?  We also had a nasty experience two years ago when we were travelling with passes

Traveling from Hungary to Slovenia and this popped up (“Sorry, we can't deliver your paper tickets to this address on time. Please try another address or book at a main station.” ) The program  will not let me complete my transaction. I read that it is not a good idea to have tickets sent to the hotel. How can I receive paper or electronic tickets? It does not give me this option. I will be traveling in 3 weeks. Thank you to anyone willing to share their knowledge with me : )

I was making seat reservations and it came up as 2- 1st class rail pass-plus, does the plus indicate the space assigned?

Bonjour,Je n’arrive pas à comprendre pourquoi on arrive pas à réserver des trains avec le pass interail en France si nous mettons qu’on est d’originaire de la France. Pouvez vous me dire pourquoi ? Merci

I have a problem with seat reservations. I have the discoverEU app and the Rail Planner app. Now I want to make a seat reservation for the trip on the Rail Planner app, but only the trip from the DiscoverEU app is displayed. If I click on "Is a trip not displayed? Create trip", a new trip is created on the DiscoverEU app.But I need a seat reservation for my trip on the Rail Planner app.

Hello. can I plan our trip on my laptop on the website? Want to make sure if I plan trip that it will load up onto my phone app. OR do I need to do it all thru my phone app. Thanks
