Get ready to travel

To enter the lottery for the Interrailpass: My favorite route was from Vienna to Sicilly :). 

Starting from Amsterdam, passing through Heidelberg and Munich, and staying overnight in Salzburg was lovely. Watching the nature from the train from Hallstatt to Vienna was wonderful. We opted for the overnight train from Vienna to Bucharest. Our trip was tiring but also very enjoyable. I especially hope my next destination will be Rome, as I'm curious about its historical atmosphere.

My favorite train ride was the one in sri lanka going from kandy to haputale. Seeing the tea plantations and waterfalls through the open door was just amazing 

My favorite train ride is the one from Ljubjana to Innsbruck. Driving through the alps is just an amazing experience!! 

My dream slow travel route would take me from Frankfurt all the way to Marseille.Starting in Germany and slowly making my way south by train feels like the perfect journey — watching the landscapes change from cityscapes to rolling countryside, and eventually to the Mediterranean coast.For me, traveling by train is not just about reaching a destination, but about everything that happens along the way. I love the idea of meeting new people, sharing stories, exchanging smiles, and connecting with fellow travellers from different cultures. Those unexpected encounters often become the most memorable part of the journey.As the train moves closer to Marseille, the light softens, the air gets warmer, and there's this growing sense of freedom. Arriving there after truly experiencing every moment of the journey would make it even more special.That's what slow travel means to me.

Going from Prague to Berlin, and need to take 3 trains, booked tickets for the first and third trains, but the second one said no ticket, “open seating”. However, I looked today 13MAR for the train on 18MAR and they replaced the second train with a replacement bus. Do I need to book tickets for that replacement bus or what do I need to do? 

My dream Interrail route? Crossing the breathtaking Swiss Alps on a panoramic train and waking up to the golden light of Tuscany! 🏔️🇮🇹 I’m obsessed with the idea of wandering through the snowy peaks of Zermatt one day and enjoying a gelato by the canals of Venice the next. It’s the perfect blend of adventure and 'la dolce vita'! 🚆✨

I am trying to reserve seats for the 15:35 IC 204 from Budapest-Deli to Zagreb Gl. Kol. on Friday 5 June 2026. I cannot book via interrail, and via CD and MAV I get the same message “The booking period for this reservation has not yet begun or has already expired.”Am I too early? I am 45 days in advance.

I recently traveled across Scandinavia using the Interrail 5-pass, and it was an unforgettable adventure. We started in Denmark, journeyed up through Sweden and Norway, and then returned to Sweden. The trains were top-notch—comfortable, fast, and stress-free. Unlike car travel, there was no worrying about fuel stops, road fines, or the hassle of driving—just sit back, enjoy the scenery, and let the train do the work. I can't recommend it enough—if you love seamless, scenic travel, Interrail is the way to go!

My favourite train route I’ve taken is the one from Basel to Zermatt! The train had lovely big windows, the view was breathtaking and my sister and I where the only ones in our compartment! (The only negative thing was that the only thing in my budget in Zermatt was a pretzel and some discounted food in the grocery store, but what can you do ;)

The best slow travel train journey, in my opinion, is the Glacier Express which operates in Switzerland. Interestingly, it’s one of the slowest trains in the world and that’s exactly what makes it special for me. Instead of rushing to get somewhere we can actually concentrate on enjoying the view, including the mountains, the valleys, and all those beautiful small villages.The slow travel is actually appealing for a lot more people due to the constant seek for new experiences. I’m certainly one of them, this kind of travel is indeed very appealing, since it’s not just about getting somewhere, it’s about the actual journey, which becomes the main purpose of the trip. I can just relax, enjoy the breathtaking views, listen to music, and forget about the rest of the world.Nowadays, people don’t have much time to just stop and try the “dolce far niente”, we are always in a hurry, so maybe The Glacier Express could be that for me, it’s definitely on my wishlist! 

Hi. I just learned that ticket for a dog for the train from Gliwice (Poland) to Wien (Austria) cost half a price of a normal human ticket and that is... A lot.Does anybody know if all international trains are like that? We want to go trough (Czech - only transit) Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and back ofc.Wanted to go with our 2 pups but if the fee will be the same in every international train, we will have to leave them behind. I just can't find that info.Please, let me know if you know, I will be VERY thankful.

Ciao

I would like to do the Bernina express once more. I loved the scenery and still correspond with co-travellers I met on the route. Perhaps we could do it again together.

It's one of my dream! I'd love to leave from Oslo, then visit Stockholm, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Berlin, and Prague, and then return to Italy. I can't wait!

I would love to travel to Sweden or Norway by train; the scenery along the way must be magnificent. I've been dreaming of this trip for several years.

J’ai eu la chance de voyager en train en itinérance en Allemagne mais j’aimerais avoir l’avis sur votre meilleur expérience d’itinéraire en train ! merci d’avance

Bonjour! Je planifie un voyage de Noces d’Or pour mes parents, et je voudrais réserver le train de nuit EN40459 entre Bâle et Prague le 21/06 à 21h16. Je suis allé sur le site d’OBB mais il est indiqué billets indisponibles, est-ce que ça veux dire qu’il n’y a plus de places du tout? Comment trouver une date avec des places dispo? Merci d’avance!

Is the interrail pass valid on the narrow gorge rail track that runs from Bilbao to Ferrol via Santander and Oviedo?

Hi I haven’t bought the Eurail passes yet. We are coming early May and doing London & Paris. We have a family of 7. Can anyone look and see if there's 7 tickets on the Eurostar on May 5 going from London to Paris. I don’t want to buy the pass if there's not enough of the Eurail tickets available. I just learned about this as an option for traveling. 

Hello, can someone tell what it means when looking at going from one city to another and you need to change trains, it comes up as a flag “Not bookable separately”-ie Zermatt to Milan

I was planning on going with a few friends during august 2026 and i got to activate my pass with the validity period being that month. Some things came up and we ended up deciding that a later date would be betted. Can i change the validity dates of my pass, since the period has not started yet?

Hi all!In the beginning of June i'm planning to travel from Sofia to Craiova. However, i am a bit worried about switching trains in between. The whole trip will look like this:7:15 Sofia Sever → 8:47 Mezdra18 min transfer time9:05 mezdra → 12:20 Vidin40 min transfer time13:00 vidin → 16:13 Craiovai am a bit concerned that the time in between trains will be too short. I have no experience with Bulgarian trains so no idea about their punctuality. Is this something to be worried about or should i be fine? Also, how exactly does it work with making reservations? From what i read i should make train reservations at a ticket office. So for example, could i go to the ticket office in Sofia the day before the trip and make a reservation for all 3 trains? Or do i have to do this at the departing station? Thanks in advance for your help!
