Get ready to travel

Hello, we are a family of 5 travelling this summer.We need to travel from Rome to Strasbourg on the Saturday12th August.I realise it’s a very long journey but when I had searched previously the route seemed more straightforward than it is showing now.I am assuming it is due to engineering works but don’t know the easiest way to find out. We have an AirBnB booked in Strasbourg so ideally need to arrive at a reasonable hour. I also don’t know what time the Metro starts in Rome in terms of getting to the main station or maybe we can just get a taxi.Any advice very welcome please!

I'm travelling from Istanbul to Florence (via Budapest) and finding booking / reservations on the interrail site quite complicated - especially for the Istanbul - Budapest leg.I've looked at the Bosphorus night train which seems you can only reserve at the train station in Istanbul.  Does anyone have any tips or route reccomendations particularly from Istanbul - Budpest? The route to Sofia or Bucuresti Nord I'm struggling to be able to reserve on the interrail site?Thank you!! 

Hola buen día, necesito hacer una reserva de asiento, desde París a Amsterdam en un tren de alta velocidad, me sale este mensaje hace 3 días, qué puedo hacer?. Necesito viajar mañana lunes 7 de Mayo 2023. Gracias por su ayuda.     

Hi, thanks for all Help that everybody always give me, i have now a new problem. When i’m making my reservation from Venezia to Milano i found a ticket to day 27 may 2023 at 07:30 to 09:45 but after paid the error bellow apears Maybe the reason is because is too soon to buy it? Thanks for help.

Hi! I have a few questions about reservations, more specifically night trains. I’m planning to take a night train from Warsaw Central to Budapest (IC407), and I’ve found Polrail and Czech Transport websites to book the reservations for a sleeper. The only thing is, that the shipping is so pricey and I’m anxious I won’t get them in time. Is it possible to book a bed or couchette in station in Warsaw Central? I’ll be traveling mid-June. Another question I have, is how is the station reservation booking process? Even for normal seats. Do you just show your Interrail pass and the train you want to take?  This is my first Interrail trip, so I am a bit confused and anxious about reservations!

Hi there,I didn´t have any problems so far. But as from today I am unable to open MY PASS although I am connected to WIFI (I´ve also tried to do it with connecting to my internet-provider).I can open any page I want and I can open the planner, the train-stations and “My trip”  ----  but not MY PASS - please help! Thank you Reinhard

Hello!We are a family of 4 (2 Adults, 2 Youths) and we have booked Eurail “15 day in 2 months” (2nd class) in the Global Mobile pass.I have watched the help video but I still have many unclear things.We 4 will be traveling together all the time. So, I have added all 4 passes to my phone. 1) We will make our first journey from London to Amsterdam on June 22, 2023 on Euro star. This needs a seat reservation that cannot be done on the Mobile App.What is the correct process? Do I make the reservation on the Eurail website and it automatically flows through to the mobile App?2) Secondly, I understand that I have to create 4 trips and link each pass to a trip on its own. In that case, how do I make the 4 reservations at once? Do I have to make reservations one by one for each person?

I’m looking to book seat reservations for a 2am train in July but it’s saying prices unavailable. On the train company’s website it’s also saying ticket unavailable. Does this mean it’s sold out already? Any advice to get around this? Accommodation is already booked for both locations so would like to avoid moving dates or locations if possible. Thanks!

Hi, I’m trying to reserve couple of seats for August 26th but the trenitalia.com site shows “No travel solution found” for that date and route. I thought this is because I was being too early but I see open reservations for September (starting 16th). Also, the direct train (E51) is already sold out for August 19th (week prior to my booking date). So, this is making me anxious now.QuestionsAre there any other websites I can book direct trains for this route? Why am I not able to book August 26th? Is it because August reservations open late?Any tips or help on this is very much appreciated.Thank you!

Is this still an issue up to now? I cannot proceed with the seat reservations. I am trying to book Italy-Paris but I cannot even book it on oebb.

I want to start my trip from Istanbul which is not in my country of residence, and after 7 days of travel I get to France, can I use inbound day to get to my country (Italy) if it means: depart in the afternoon from France, get in an italian city in the same evening and there take a night train to my final destination?Does it matter I don’t activate my pass in Italy?

Just activated my mobile pass and made reservation; what do I show ticket validator? Just my reservation details?

I have the global pass so I have 7 days of travel but I would like to travel 8 days, is it possible that I don't activate one of the 8 trips in my pass? If so, are some paid trips the same price with the pass as without? The pass would then be useless on these journeys, so it would be unnecessary to use travel days for these journeys.For instance, if on your 7 trains 3 are on the same price with and without the pass, why take a 7 travel days pass and not a 4 travel days pass completed with 3 online tickets ?

Good day,  With Eurail passes in hand I’m attempting to obtain reservations for the 10:18 PanoramaExpress (PE 902) from BRIG HAHNOFPLATZ to ST. MORITZ on July 14, 2023.  The Eurail Travel Planner online reads “Seat reservations unavailable”.  On the cell phone app it appears that the schedules are not available this far out.  “Sorry, we can’t find any trains that match your search.” Three possibilities:I’m too early to make this request. I’m too late and the reservations are already fully booked. I need to seek these reservations through another agency.Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks….Danke!

I want to travel from barcelona to madrid on the 4th of august with ave 3092. Now you need a seat reservation, but it does say this reservation is not possible via the interrail website, how does this work?

I went to the Austrian rail site OEBB and did a search between some smaller towns, and it gave me bus routes instead of train routes. Does the Global Pass cover those buses? It seems they might be operated by OBB or affiliated with it. For example between Oztal and Reutte.  (By the way, I did a search from Vienna to Hallstat on the Eurail site and it came up empty, so thats why I started using the OEBB site)

Dear train journey lover, Planning our trip in Scandinavië I have to take the train from Oslo to Kil. We have a short transfer (5 minutes) in Kongsvinger. We need to catch this train otherwise we'll be stuck and miss all the reservated trains later. Does anyone know if this is a big station? Is ot possible to catch the train to Kil?Thank you for helpingFroukje 

I’m planning on going to bologna on monday. the suggested time in munich is too short, so i want to take one train to munich very early, and then take one from there to bologna. i have to create two trips for that, is that fine or would the first one ( hamburg-munich) already count as inbound ? 

I asked this question last week but didn’t get any useful responses.I bought a 5-day pass for a trip and I am wondering if I should use a 4 instead, especially since I cashed my itinerary.June 16: Train to and from Auschwitz and krakow. Night train to pragueJune 20: Train from Prague to Vienna.June 22: train from Vienna to Munich June 25: night train from Munich to Paris.I should be fine with only 4 correct?

Hello!I’m trying to book a train from Milan to Tirano on June 28th (Trenord, not included in the pass apparently) and for some strange reason there are no trains available. Same thing in late June in general. Anyone knows what’s going on? Really no trains?? Thanks,Anna 

We have booked a Eurail travel day for 6th July and have booked reservations on the Golden Pass train.At the moment it does not go from Interlaken due to disruptions.Do we have to book Interlaken to Zweisimmen with the local rail BLS separately, and will our Eurail pass cover this please and we just need seat reservations, or new tickets?

May 5th, madrid puerta de atocha to Barcelona Sants, 19:00-21:30. To reserve it says Eurail cannot reserve, and only options are in person at train station, or by email and there’s no email. does this mean the train is fully reserved, or is it a first come first serve basis and you have to get there and reserve it in person?if the latter, how early should I get to the train?

Hello!I am already on the road (railway) heading to Stockholm. I would to visit both Sweden and Norway and enjoy the landscape that offer a railway travel. I planned, for now, this simple route:Stockholm - Oslo - Bergen - Oslo - Trondheim - Bodo - Oslo - Malmo - Copenaghen I was thinking also to do the route Stockholm - Narvik, but it seems like very long and with no interesting intermediate stops.  Do you recommend it anyway? What about Finland?I was able to book with SJ to get in Sweden. About Norway is it true that is it possible to reserve only by phone(Entur)?On the app I see ALL trains need a reservations, is it correct?Thank you :D
