Get ready to travel

Traveling a bit of Central Europe by rail next fall. Will be arriving and departing from Frankfurt. Would hope to take the train from Frankfurt Airport to Heidelberg and then, about a month later, from Nuremburg back to the Frankfurt Airport.Can this be done with the Eurail pass or do I need to book these legs of our journey without the pass?

Hi all,I have spent hours and hours building an itenary for my 3 month Global Pass. This because interrailing is not as easy as advertised - it requires a lot of planning, seat reservations, extra costs etc. Anyway, build myself an itenary that I was quite happy with, leaving this Monday. However, my phone broke the other day so now I am on a new device installing the app etc. Apparently you can only change device once (why, just why?). Now I am did that, logged-in, and all the journeys in My Trip are gone. Is there any way to retrieve them?Thanks,Cor

I did get a payment receipt. But not the pass. what can I do?

Hi, I just wanted to check again before my trip. I’m going from london to paris via eurostar, ive made the seat reservations for the eurostar trip. From my understanding how this seat reservation works is that for the eurostar train which ive bought the ticket/seat reservation for, I need to add that same train to my trip that is linked to my mobile pass. Then when I’m on the train I show both the mobile pass and the eurostar ticket I’ve bought? Thanks!

Hey,Some users on Twitter but also here in the community have the problem that they do not get informed about the fee to use the DB-ÖBB Eurocity trains to/in Italy. The railplanner app gives some time ago the (wrong) information that you need a reservation, now it writes nothing. The problem now is that DB-ÖBB started to ask an additional fee if you pay the fee on the train.Would be possible to add a notice like please check the special conditions to use this train or something like this? Because how we know only with an Interrail/Eurail Global Pass and an Interrail/Eurail One Country Italy Pass you have to pay, with an Interrail/Eurail German Rail Pass not.  On the Railjet trains Venice-Vienna, there is the compulsory reservation notice, but like via Brenner there is only a compulsory fee needed. Here is the information wrong about the compulsory reservation also on the website. If I am not wrong, you get via Interrail Reservation system only the fee and not a reservation. On the Euro

We’re trying to figure out our train travel from Milan to Tirano, and most every train listed by the Eurail planner says “Not in Pass network.” Does this mean our Global Pass doesn’t work with these trains, and we need to purchase separate tickets? Also, the Eurail planner says that this trip takes something like eight hours, with many weird changes.And now we’re also trying to find trains from Chur, Switzerland to Munich. We’re encountering the same thing.So the big questions are: How do we find the correct trains and schedules? Will our Global Pass work on these trains once we find the right ones? Are there things I’m not asking that I should know??? Also, if we find trains we think will work on Rail Europe (for instance), how do we make reservations through that site while using our Global Pass?Thank you for any enlightenment you can shed on this matter. It’s been relatively easy to navigate the UK, France, Spain, and getting into Italy as far as Milan. But now we are confused and b

Hi all,I've been struggling to find connections from Stockholm to Hamburg on June 17th for my family of two adults and two teenagers with Interrail global passes. Apparently SJ will be doing track works around that time so some departures from Stockholm are still blocked. However on DB website I was able to find the following connections:8.34 X2 425 Stockholm - Göteborg 11.4012.40 R 1095 Göteborg - Copenhagen 16.2917.02 IC 1199 Copenhagen- Hamburg 21.57The SJ website doesn't show the above connection when I search for the whole journey Stockholm - Hamburg, but does however show all three journeys when searched individually. My questions are: 1) Do you think it's safe to assume those trains will be able to run on June 17 since the whole journey does come up on DB website?2) Will the 33 min transfer time in Copenhagen be enough?3) Where to best book seats for those trains? SJ for the first two and somewhere else for the last one? Or DB service hotline for the whole journey (it says on th

Hi, my parents will visit me in UK soon, and we planned some Europe trips together. They got Chinese passport, with UK C type visit short stay visa validate for 2 years, with each stay no more than 6 month. Will they be considered as temporary residents in UK? And be able to purchase the interrail pass? Thanks!

What is the best way to travel with these destinations:  Amsterdam to Madurodam Park in Hague (back in a day)  Amsterdam to Brussels  Brussels to Ghent and back to Brussels again  Brussels to Paris 

A friend and I were planning on taking the NightJet on 22 Oct from Rome Termini to Munich (in order to get to Cologne), however it appears (on both Eurail and OBB) that NightJet (in addition to any other trains leaving Termini) is not running on weekends or currently is not scheduled for any weekends in Oct. Is this accurate or am I trying to book too early? It seems odd that the entirety of Romes rail network shuts down for an entire weekend with no significant holiday (that I’m aware of). Any advice or reasonable alternatives would be appreciated. We already purchased our passes in anticipation of being able to schedule this train, so we’d rather avoid booking flights if possible.

I wasn’t able to proceed the seat reservation in France and Italy legs. My Trip will be London Paris Interlaken florence rome. Eurostar seat reservation was successful for July 02. The online system let me go until the I click on the  payment button. It showed error and prompted that the leg has error. 

Please help! I’ve been trying to book seats on a train from Bratislava to Budapest and Budapest to Kisvarda. Everytime I try to pay, I fill in my credit card info and I get the prompt: “Something went wrong. Please refresh the page. “EVERY TIME!! I’ve tried booking them seperately and it still happens! Not sure if this is a mistake on my side or the site. Nothing happens when I refresh the page, they just make me do the whole process all over again just for it to end up on the prompt again. What can I do?????I’m doing this on my IPhone btw! 

Hi, I´m Sofía and I am from Uruguay. I have a doubt about which pass to get, because I live in Uruguay but have an Italian passport. I will get greek islands pass, and would go from italy. Should I get an eurail or an interrail pass?

Hi, i have a question regarding how i can reserve my seat in a train.I have the interrail global pass for 10 days within 2 months. I’m trying to make seat reservations in the app (i have already activated my pass) but i can’t, it says that seat reservations are not included in my pass but they are required on some trains for a small fee. So how can i pay that fee in order to reserve the train?Thank you

I have a consecutive Eurail Pass (15days) and my first travel day is set to be 30 Apr (My flight will land on 30 Apr in the morning at Zurich 8am).Can I check if I set my pass for activation (step 3) and put 30 Apr as the activation date before I fly off, is the activation date going to be in Europe time or my current timezone?E.g. Activate 30 Apr 0000hr at my timezone (GMT +8) would mean 1800 for (GMT +2) the previous day?

I’m a bit late to buying and booking everything, and im leaving for europe in 4 days.

So my brother and I will be in Krakow on the 16th of June and will be looking to take either the night train (10:44 PM) to Prague or the 10:43 in the morning of the 17th. According to Eurial and the polish trin site I need to book a reservation for both but on the czech site it only says “free reservation”. What is the best way for me to book a reservation (my brother and I) for one of these trains? We will both have valid Eurail passes at the time we take the train.Thanks for the help.

Hey and I apologize in advance if these questions about reservations are getting annoying but I find it highly confusing and also rather inconvenient. Quick background, I’m using my Interrail ticket for work purposes so I’m unfortunately not as flexible and have to be at certain places at certain times. I’m struggling with the following connections: Ljubljana (Slovenia) to Poland using the EC212 to Vienna and EC100 from Vienna are indicated as ‘prices unavailable’ in the reservation tool (my travel is less than 2 months away and I checked both the Polish and Austrian train operators’ websites, not bookable either) Similar from Poland to Berlin with an IC direct connection ‘Seat reservations unavailable, It seems no price offer is available right now’ - also when I look now at reservations within the next 30 days it's the same issue. How can I make a reservation for these trains? Perhaps at a train station in Austria beforehand? Barcelona to Sevilla, Madrid to Sevilla: am I correct that

Hello, I have a question. On the app it seems not mandatory to reserve ICE trains to travel in Germany (national connections). But I do not trust the app anymore, too many flaws.Do you know if it is ok just to jump on a ICE without reservation?  ThanksMarco

Hi there! I have a group of 23 students who would like to travel within UK and France.Shall I buy the Youth Eurail Global Passes separately for each one or split them into smaller groups? (max permitted in the website is 15 passengers) Is there a way to buy all passes in a single transaction? Thanks.
