Get ready to travel

Hi, I’m planning on going interailing later this year, and I’ve had a brief look at the interail planner app. There’s a particular journey I plan on making (Nice-Milan) and for every single day, there are various options of trains all about 5hrs long. However, when you skip into May 2024, there either aren’t any trains available or there is one but it’s 20hrs long. Is this just because we’re too far away to book, or is it genuinely true that there aren’t trains that take 5 hours in May??

Hi all, very glad to be part of this community!Spent some time looking for answers, and this was very helpful!A few things though that I would like help with.First though, some information about me/usFirst time Eurail users (to be confirmed if we buy one!)

Hi All! My family is traveling from the USA. We start in London, plan to take the ferry over to Netherlands and then travel to Belgium, Paris, then on to Italy for a couple stops.  My main question is, with the Eurail pass, does this just cover trains that are on the map? or can you use the trains/trams/buses that are within the cities with this as well.  Trying to figure out the cost effectiveness. Thank you! 

What if out of a group of 4, one member cannot come anymore? Will the #DiscoverEU pass still be available for the other 3 in the group?

Would appreciate your advice about this tripFamily of 4 (2 adults, 17 yo, 13 yo) none of us have interrailed before. Current plan is3/8/24 Eurostar to Paris (know we need to reserve seats - is it ok to have bought just one pass beforehand and use just one pass number to reserve seats?)7/8/24 Paris - Barcelona12.-13/8/24 Barcelona to Florence - was thinking about an overnight stop at Nice? 18/8/24 overnight train Florence to Salzburg21/8/24 Salzburg to Cologne23/8/24 Cologne to Brussels25/8/25 Eurostar Brussels to LondonOur only fixed point at present is Paris as we have accommodation booked to see some of Olympics but I’m keen to book other accommodation as it’s the summer season  Any advice on the trip/ trains/booking much appreciated

Hi, I am very new to this and trying to book a sleeper reservation for 2 people but struggling to do so. 18th June 23:42 Mannheim Hbf to 09:14 Prague-Holesovice.Any help or suggestions around this would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, can I choose not to pay for seat reservation if it only says seat reservation optional/ recommended instead of required? I have first class pass Eurail pass.

Eng: Good morning interrail community. My group of friends and I will travel with the 7-day pass. Our doubt centers on the last day of travel (the seventh) as we are not aware if there is a route that connects Milan - Bari (and which is covered by interrail). Does anyone know if a train from Milan to Bari is available? And if so, does Interrail cover the trip?Ita: Buongiorno community di interrail. Io e il mio gruppo di amici viaggeremo col pass di 7 giorni. Il nostro dubbio verte sull'ultimo giorno di viaggio (il settimo) in quanto non siamo a conoscenza se vi sia una tratta che collega Milano - Bari (e che sia coperto da interrail).Qualcuno sa se sia disponibile un treno con tratta Milano-Bari? E se si, interrail copre il viaggio? 

I see that the Eurail site allows a couchette on the train from Rome to Siracusa to be booked - but it only offers either a seat or Promiscuo. I would like to get a CC-DONNA place though - why doesn’t the Eurail site offer this?is there any site that does? I tried raileurope.com but couldn’t find any reservation-only price, only for full ticket, even though I entered Interrail pass.(Getting ready for fitst ever interrailing - exciting!) TIA

Hello,we are a family of 4 traveling to Europe for the first time next week. 2 Adults and a 20 year old and a 11 year old. Our plans are this. 24-26 Frankfurt. 26-27 Munich 27-29 Salzburg 29-1 Bern. 1-2 Frankfurt for the flight home. We also Land at 6AM on the 24th. Trying to understand the rails. We will do some inner city site seeing most days but it looks cheap to pay as you go for those. But trying to figure out if I would need both a EU global pass and a Swiss train pass. While in switzerland we are thinking of the train ride goldenpass express I think its called. And hitting museums. Just not sure if the EU pass and pay for the other stuff in Swiss is better or how this works. Thank you

Is there a set or approximate date when Eurrail/Interrail might be expected to increase prices for passes?

Hi,We are 6 adults with 4 aged over 60 and 2 aged between 50 and 60 years old.  We would like to buy Eurail global pass.  My questions are:Can one person buy 6 passes or each of 6 needs to buy their own pass individually? Shall each of 6 need to download the Eurail app regardless Is there any advantage/disadvantage buying the passes by one for all 6 or each individual

I'm deciding whether to use an interrail pass or single tickets for 2024. It's a bit tricky as the SNCf dates I'm looking for aren’t published yet (dep 25 May - ret 2nd June). Other than the Eurostar (as those dates are available now) I'm looking at dates in Feb and March to check price via SNCF.Can you recommend if using Interrail pass or single tickets is best for this journey? I used interrail pass last year and find it really easy to use so I'm leaning towards that at the moment:4 people - two teens, two adultsCosts without pass:Stroud to London (7.31am dep) total return price £97.80 with family railcardLondon to Lille Europe (11.04am dep) total return price £592Lille Europe to Marseille (14.03 dep TGV ) price per person  £150pp!!Marseille to La ciotat £9ppTotal is super high due to TGV cost - unless I use ouigo?? But is this a more a more complicated/longer journey?Based on this the interrail pass represents much better value for money (but i think I need to buy it today to avoid

We have I flight into Brussels, before we start our interail German pass. Is our pass valid to go straight to Cologne from Brussels airport?

Morning!Travelling from London to Lille then on to Marseille. Is 37 mins too short between trains at Lille Europe? Many thanks.  

I  am planning to buy eurail pass. What is the difference between reserving train with and without eurail pass. Let's say the cost of the ticket is 100€ without pass. If I reserve along with pass, would there be any difference in the total amount I would pay? Like some amount from pass +reservation fee. Or regardless of the  pass I still have to pay 100€.

What is an economical means to cover the following cities during our euro visit and the best route to be followed. we are three adults:- Versailles- Paris- Amsterdam- Rotterdam- Geneva- Zurich- Interlaken- Lucerne Please note we are yet finalising the itinerary, however, these are the major cities / places we wish to cover. And it would be a great help if you could suggest what would be the best economical option (also keeping in mind we don't want to waste too much time in travel) - i.e., whether toA) get a eurail global pass for continuous 15 days?OrB) buy single tickets from Paris (France) to Amsterdam (Netherlands) to zurich (Switzerland) If we go ahead with option B, how do we commute within France, Netherlands and Switzerland considering the budget.We plan around 14-15 days in Europe covering the above three countries in April 2024.All the help would be great

We (6 adults) plan to travel on the train from Chur (Switzerland) to Milan (Italy) via Tirano (Italy) on Monday 26th February 2024. My questions are:Given it is a middle of winter in Europe, does Bernina Express run on this day (Monday, 26 Feb 2024) departing Chur? Can we take normal rail (other than Bernina Express) to travel from Chur to Tirano on the same day? Is there a connected train to travel to Milan from Tirano on that day and how long does it take to arrive in Milan?

Hello!I have a doubt: my pass needs to be activated before the 1st of april, 2024. I was wondering if I could activate the pass one day before, and start the trip during April, despite the fact that the pass should be activated before april.Let me know! Thanks you in advance 

Hello 👋I'm trying to book the Euronight from Malmö C to Berlin for the 9th March (it's a Saturday) but Track Work Planned is noted from that date and on. I checked the planned work schedule and March is not included, so anyone that have experience with SJ can tell me if I have to wait more to book or is better begin to plan an alternative route? I should go to Berlin from Oslo and I know that Snälltåget is not an option during my travel days. Anyway it would be nice to have a plan B in case of cancellation, would it make sense to consider the ferry from Stockholm?  I'm open to any suggestion as long doesn't require more than a travel day and an half.

I am planning a trip of 15 days. I don’t want to travel every day. Is it possible to take an 15 days in a row pass of not?

Unclear if these cities will be included.
