Hey everybody :) I’m trying to have a nice week of hiking in early May, and I was thinking of the French Pyrenees (I’m traveling from up North so Spain adds a lot of travel time), the French Alps, or maybe Austria.I’m having a hard time narrowing down my options! I would love to hike from hut to hut, and if possible walk through both forests and mountainous terrain. Staying a hut or hostel from which day hikes are possible would also be a perfectly agreeable option.Does anybody have any advice? Much appreciated :)

Hi, we are planning to get the 7 days in 1 month pass in august. Does anyone have some suggestions for routes as I am totally new to this? I would love to include slovenia and Croatia. We are planning to do 2/3 weeks. Is it easier to fly over to Europe or use the Eurostar? 

I have following itinerary:Date From To 27/08/2024 London Armsterdam 29/08/2024 Armsterdam Paris 30/08/2024 Paris Geneva 31/08/2024 Geneva Interlaken 3/09/2024 Interlaken Venice 5/09/2024 Venice Rome  I am planning to spend 2 and half days in Interlaken (going to Zermatt and surrounding areas.Please help me deciding whether i buy 10 days Eurail Global pass or use flights and local trains.I see reservation cost is very high.

Hello! This summer, we are going to Germany, Sweden, and Norway, and we have a doubt about whether it’s better to buy a 1st class pass or a 2nd class pass. Can you help me, please?Route: Berlin - Hamburg- Copenhagen- Stockholm - Oslo -Bergen -Myrdal -Oslo. (*We would be grateful if you could also make suggestions about the trip) 

Hi community, I planned and read a lot with/about Interrail in the last weeks, but there are two major things which aren’t clear for me or at least are some strange discrepancies. Why is it not possible to use my Interrail log in for the app? I planned a journey in the app which doesn’t show on the website. A planned journey on the website (for testing purposes) doesn’t show in the app.Part of my planned journey on August 7th is ICE 16 from Cologne to Bruxelles, departure 11:42. It showed in the app and I saved it, so the connection definitely exists. But if I try to book a seat in the train on the website, the connection doesn’t even show anymore. There are suddenly only journeys with the much more expensive Eurostar. I also discovered many small things which aren’t working properly and honestly I have a little doubt to spend so much money on a global pass if I can’t trust it fully.

Hello!I am planning a trip from Barcelona/Paris to Almaty by train and bus this summer 2024, in order to get to my exchange university in Kazakhstan. I have never used an interrail pass, but I thought it would be a great way to plan the European part of the trip, from Barcelona to Ankara (Turkey). Looking at the railway network I thought I could go through Zagreb-Belgrad-Sofia, either through northern Italy (departing from Barcelona) or southern  Germany (departing from Paris), but I am not sure if this could eventually work out. I was wondering whether someone had already done this trip (Paris-Ankara or Barcelona-Ankara) and is used to taking night trains with interrail, etc. I don't really understand the seat/bed reservation system, which type of trains are the passes valid for, and what prices to expect in early July. If anyone could share information on these I'd be super grateful.Thank you in advance :)Cheers!Chloé

Hallo, ich habe meinen ersten Reisetag in der App bereits einmal geändert und wollte fragen, ob ich diesen nochmal ändern kann. Wenn ja, wie genau mache ich das? Danke schon mal im Voraus!

Is there a link so I can book the seat reservations from Paris Lyon De Gare to Barcelona Sants via SNCF/TGV?

I have 2 x 5 day interrail passes for me and my wife. I’ve reserved seats on a TGV Inoui from Paris to Strasbourg, but I couldn’t find out how to book our bikes onto the train. I know the train has bike spaces, so how do I add these to my seat reservations?

Hello, I have a 10 in 2 months global pass and will only use the outbound journey to leave Germany. With 2-3 days left on my pass I will take a flight back from Barcelona to Berlin. As the inbound journey will not be used with some regular travel days left, could I do another day trip let's say within the same day on another weekend from Berlin to Poland? To Poland early morning, back the same evening, although only inbound is still available

I’m planning out my trip for March 24 and have managed to book seat reservation on all trains except AVI 9725 from Madrid to Narbonne in France. I am told a seat reservation is required but that it cannot be booked on the interrail websiteNot available from Interrail.euThis seat reservation can’t be booked on our website. Check 'More information' for other ways to book.I have accommodation in Narbonne that can only be cancelled 2 weeks before the journey starts so I’m a little nervous not getting my seat reservation before then.Any ideas on how I can reserve seats before I start my trip? 

Every time I get to the checkout it says that something went wrong... this app and website is terrible..  Am I booking too early? We are trying to book for early June. WE already bought a 15 day pass (first class). 

Hi,I’am planning to visit University of Coimbra and would like to know whether there are luggage lockers at Coimbra-A station.

Hi All - I am planning on taking a first time interrail trip with my two boys. The aim is to go at the end of may/start of june for anywhere between 10-14 days. We live in Dublin. I’ve never done this before so am completely unsure of what is involved, what to book, how to book etc.My plan is to try to go from Dublin > Paris > Munich > Rome > Paris > Dublin.I wouldn’t mind altering/simplifying this route/plan slightly based on other suggestions!Happy to do this on a budget / cost effective way as it’s about going on a little adventure.For example I think we could stay in family room hostel in each location for 1-2 nights? I also think we could reserve space on overnight train to free up daytime?Would appreciate suggestions for this from more experienced travellers! :)

Hi 😀I have interrail global pass, and want to like to do a reservation for AVI 9742 from LYON PART DIEU (2:30pm) - Barcelona Sants (7:32pm). I get over the interrail seat reservation this error message: “It seems no price offer is available right now. It is possible that all pass holder seats are sold out. Please check 'More information' and try other ways to book this seat reservation, or buy a separate full fare ticket to board. You need to buy a seat reservation to board.”So i called SNCF and they said to me, this train doesn’t exist, so it’s an failure from interrail website. Could somebody confirm that to me? That i would look after a different connection.  More background information why this train: So I will start the trip in Munich, and want to be before 9pm in Barcelona. so I found the connection (5am start in munich - 7:32pm arrival in barcelona) Thanks for you help! Patrick 

HelloI have made 4 seat reservations on the TGV from Paris to Zurich at 12:21 on 5th April.We are a family of 4 but have been given seats in different positions in the carriage. I can’t work out how to change our seats (or if it’s possible) so that we sit together.Does anyone know how to do this, please?Thanks,Dave 

Hi,I am a Dutch resident currently living in Paris. I will need to travel from Paris to Amsterdam on the 21st of April and return to Paris on the 22nd of April. I will then repeat the same trip on the 5th to 6th of May, and later again on the 12th to 13th of May.I have been considering purchasing the Interrail Global Pass (10 days within 2 months). However, I am quite confused by the rules regarding traveling within the country of your residence. The website mentions something about inbound and outbound trips.Could someone clarify if I will be able to use the Interrail pass for my intended trips?Thank you in advance.

Hey ;),I want to cross the Border from Romania to Bulgaria this Summer, between Giurgiu and Russe. Unfortunately there are no trains in August and September, atleast according to the railplanner app. Does anyone know why and/or another safe way to cross?Thx

Hi everyone, We are coming to EU in Sep and saw a comment that there might be train works between Interlaken and Milan in August meaning buses are used. My wife is not keen on buses. Just wondering if there will be works closing this line in September please? Also the line from Milan to Tirano? I can’t see any notice of works on the SBB website.Thank you very much in anticipation

My problem is that I’ve reserved a room on the Caledonian, leaving Glasgow at 11:40. It arrives in London at 7:15am the following day. I am then travelling to Paris later that morning on Eurostar.As things stand, this journey uses up both my ‘home’ travel days, which is far from ideal, to say the least. I can’t afford to pay for a return Eurostar + Avanti WC to Scotland.I’ve seen people mention that I could, perhaps alter the departure time to CET i.e. 00:40. I’ve done this in the app but will it work? I’m terrified that we’ll arrive at Glasgow and not be allowed to proceed.I’ve also asked support to add a travel day - I’m waiting to hear back. The situation is ridiculous really - as things stand no-one can use the sleeper to travel south unless they are prepared to use up both allowed ‘home’ travel days.Any help would be very gratefully received, as this is beyond stressful.

Friends of ours are ending a boat trip late morning on May 17 in Barcelona and would like to join us in Paris. Whare is the best place for them to secure a train booking? The ones they found seem very expensive, considerably more than the trip from Paris to London that we are also going on together.  Is that right, or are they missing something?

We are 1st class Eurail Global pass holders. Seat reservations are required departing 11 May 2024. I have looked on the SNCF page and cannot find a place to enter my Eurail pass details. Please help.

Trying to escape the UK to Paris via London and Eurostar. London/Paris leg - no problem. All my local deps to London are “ seat reservations needed” and the system will not let me add this leg to the trip. Virgin Trains seat res. is NOT on the Eurail system. Stuck in a loop.

Hey all, thanks for taking time to read my question. I am planning to travel from my home country Germany to Spain this summer. I'd like to use the global pass. For reaching Paris I have to go by two trains within Germany on my departure date. Does that fit the Interrail regations? Or am I allowed to use the Pass for one of the two trains (on one day) only? Thanks for helping me out. Best regards, Eva
