Get ready to travel

Hi,I’m new here and I don’t know exactly where to begin.I’m german and my with best friend from Kenya we want to travel throughout Europe and see Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and Vienna. So my question is: on the travel day with the Global pass, I can travel for example from Stuttgart to Paris and that counts a one Travel day? We’re staying 2 nights in Paris and take the train to Amsterdam afterwards,  which would be the Second Train Travel day, right`?I’m getting a little confused, so that’s why I’m seeking for help. :)  Thank you in advance. Florina

Hi- Looking for recommendations on best way to book trip for our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) from Bayeux, France to Market Harborough, UK (1hr north of london) in mid June. We have 1st class Eurail passes (mobile). I think I have some parts figured out but could use input on a few things.Per Google maps, we can take get there in 3 main steps (all in one day):1- 930 am TER train from Bayeux, France to Gare St Lazare in Paris (1200) , then transfer to RER E- go one stop to get to Gare du Nord to pickup the Eurostar to London St Pancras 2- 1512 pm Eurostar to London St Pancras3- EMR train from London St Pancras to Market Harborough, UKHere are my questions:I know our Eurail pass will get us through legs 1+2 of the trip. Is it valid on EMR trains in UK (leg 3) since the 3 legs will be within a single day of travel? I searched and couldnt get a definitive answer. If pass is valid on leg 3 of trip to Market Harborough, would you recommend a reservation for that one hour ride since our Eu

Hi everyone, I have recently purchased a 10-days Eurail pass but I haven't decided my travel plans. This is the first time i am planning to travel solo and I have very little experience of European trains. I will most probably visit germany for 3 days from Belgium (Cologne, Heidelberg, Frankfurt) but I am not sure where should i go next from Frankfurt. Can you recommend me any other destination from there or train which i can cover in 3 to 4 days? Thanks

I have never purchased a Eurail pass before. I am traveling from Barcelona to Logrono, Spain.  I want to take the train at 8:45am and it arrives in Logrono at 12:52pm.  That’s the only train time that works for me.  On the return one week later, I need to go from Logrono, Spain to Barcelona airport.  Again, only one time that works, the 7:30am train, arriving at 1pm to airport.  I can see the different train companies online to buy a ticket directly from the individual train company.  Do I also need to get a Eurail pass?  I’m not sure what I will be doing regarding traveling within the week I’m there, but I expect I will be staying in the Logrono area the who time. Thank you for your help in explaining what I need to purchase.

I have a 1 month pass which I’ve already activated and purchased reserved seats. I now want to start my pass 1 day earlier but I’m concerned that if I deactivate the pass and then reactivate it starting a day earlier I will lose the train trips I’ve already booked. 

I want to take the train for one day only from Milan Italy to Munich Germany, and I would Mike benefit from the price of purchasing a pass. Any suggestions? Thanks 

Will be traveling to Vienna next Saturday and plan on some trips to Melk, Salzburg, Brno, Bratislava and Budapest by rail. Any major issues to be concerned with of the last two weeks of December? Any help is appreciated. 

Can I use eurail Austria Pass for the OBB night jet from Vienna to Buchs SG?If yes, is “Interrail / Eurai - Globalpass” the discount option to select?thank you!

I'm trying to book a seat in April 2024. This is less than 180days so why am I getting the message in red text?

I have a consecutive twin german pass for 4 days(before activation).I need to exchange my pass to the pass for 3 days because of  the strike in germany.I can’t postpone my journey because my return flight is 4 days later.How can I get my ticket exchanged or refunded with full fare(not 85%)?And because of the situation, I want Eurail deal with this right now. 

Trying to book a 1st Class Reservation for 2 on the 24th from Nuremberg to Salzburg. Also from Salzburg to Stuttgart on the 26. Just end up getting error messages at check-out. Does this indicate full trains as I’ve tried a number of different departure times.Didn’t have any issues with any other legs of my trip. In and out of Austria is the only thing tripping me up. Help! 

Hello,Can we get financial compensation when our journey is cancelled due to strike action?I was supposed to do Copenagh - Berlin on 8 December but this is impossible due to strikes. Thank you for your help, Clément

Hi, we bought a Global Pass for three travelers. Some train trips have now been booked with seat reservations. However, since we are travelling from Bern or Basel to Prague at night, I can see some glitches or differences on the website timings and app planner.This has been added to our trip list since we opted for the no-reservation option. However, upon using the website today, this is now showing with a seat requirement. Will there be any chance to book a seat at the main station? 

I have just tried to see if I can figure out how to book a trip and I’m after a little guidance as to whether this is the easiest way, and what i am doing wrong. First I went to Google Maps and plotted from my hotel address to my next hotel address, selecting the train option. Google tells me how far to walk to the nearest train station, which station that is, the path by train and the distance I need to walk at the other end.Then I went to bahn.de and punched in the two train locations that Google gave me, entered other criteria and did a search. In my case, it didn’t come up with any results, likely because the timetables aren’t released yet (December 10 I believe). After a little experimenting I got some results, however I don’t think Rome to Florence is 21 hours given I selected Show fastest connection. Clearly I am doing something wrong.  Any suggestions please

I am currently on a trip, on the train, and all details have dropped off the app.It was working an hour ago, and now just says "add trip'" and "add pass". If I try to re add my lass it says already on this device.How to solve??

I’m trying to book seat reservation from Ghent Belgium to Antwerp 4 January. It appears available when I select this departure timeyet when i hit ‘continue’ I get the following messageand then I hit back button and get this messageSo this seems that the train is fully booked??thank you

Dear forum members, when i try to plan my trip to Istanbul from Leeuwaren ( the netherlands ) i see a stopover in Sofia of 22 hours.. i can,t plan the route over Videle to Halkali ( istanbul ).. the app only direct me over Sofia..What to do, maybe someone can help. 

I am looking at travelling by train from my home in UK to Portsmouth (UK) to catch a ferry to Spain. The ferry would leave UK  on the evening of the day I set off from home and arrive in Spain the following day.I would then travel in Spain and Portugal on the train using my Interrail pass. My return journey would be the same in reverse. Could I use my Interrail pass for these rail journeys in the UK even though I will be leaving / returning to UK on a ferry, not by train (such as Eurostar) ?Many thanks Bob

Hello Inter/Eurail community,I am posting this from a train that is currently traveling from Vienna to Dortmund. I just found out (purely by chance, as the rail planner app doesn’t show this), that the train I was supposed to take from Stuttgart Hbf to Bruxelles Midi runs only until Köln due to a strike. On the Deutsche Bahn website it says that there will be 4 replacement buses from Köln Hbf to Bruxelles Midi without any stops. Apparently these buses are a service by Univers Reisen but I can not find any information about them, no timetables, ticket costs, anything.I have two questions. Firstly, is this because these replacement buses are only meant for people being affected by this now interrupted connection? Secondly, is my global pass still valid on these replacement buses, and if so how do I add them to my pass since I don’t even know the times (yet).There is an alternative route that requires me to take 4 additional connections, something I would like to avoid if I can.Thanks!

Hi, I understand that I can travel outbound and inbound in my home country. In my case I would have to take a big detour to be able to reach the border of my country by train. Would that be problematic?And would I have to cross the border on the outbound day? Or could I also travel to the border and buy an ordinairy ticket to cross the border the next day? 

Bonjour, j'ai gagné un pass France Allemagne, est ce qu'il est utilisable pour 2 personnes ? Merci 

Est ce que si je prends un pass interrail de 5 jours sur une période d'1 mois je peux activer par exemple le 29 décembre et utiliser les jours restants en janvier ? Je vous remercie 

Hello, I have question about the manual reservation for an interrail ticket.I have 7 travel days for one month and some journeys are not shown, so I have to do it manual. And at the end, it is not shown on the map. Furthermore, I do not know which train I need to take because if you make the reservation manual, the app does not show which train you should take. I do not know what I need to do and if the manual ticket would be valid. Did someone has a scandinavian journey with the interrail ticket? If yes, I would be happy to hear about that moreHere is an example for a manual ticket reservation:
