Get ready to travel

Hello everyone, I am very blessed and excited to visit this gorgeous continent!Originally I planned a 3 week vacation which is looking like a month+ long at this moment. The goal of my trip is for a possible relocation as things aren’t looking so good in California, I appreciate in advance any suggestions, shortcuts, foodie recs, stargazing spots, sunrises/sunsets (crazy, I’m used to only seeing the sunsets!). Muchas gracias!  

Hola me gustaría saber que pase deberíamos comprar o como más o menos lo tendríamos que hacer porque queremos irnos un grupo de amigos y yo aproximadamente 10 días a unos destinos elegidos la ruta ya está hecha pero no sabemos qué pase comprar o más o menos como organizar el tema de los pases del dinero

In planning our upcoming trip through Europe, we booked Eurail seat reservations for our intended routes. I know those seat reservations are non-refundable. Now we want to change routes. Can we change those seat reservations without losing money? 

HI, I need to know what kind of Eurail Pass is the best for me. I`ll travel  through:Netherlands, Belgium, Swiss and Italy during 15 days. I want to visit around 11 cities. Some of them from Bruxelles, Bern or Milan. My question is about the destinations, if I go and back from Bern to Lucern in one day, how many destinations will be? 1 or 2?Thank for your help.

Hello everyone!I have a question regarding trains. Is it possible to take a train different to the one I put in the Rail Planner (It does not need seat reservation) ?I am considering taking day trips when I’ll be travelling, and I wanted to know whether I exclusively have to take the ones I associated to the pass. thanks in advance

Hi,  I have made my plan and only need to travel on 3 dates.  It looks like the shortest pass is 4 days.  Can I just buy a train ride from one place to another OR do I need the pass and then reservations?  TIA!

Hi - I booked two youth passes accidentally rather than two children passes. Kids are 5 and 8. I don’t care too much about the money but is this going to be an issue when traveling? Not sure how strict ticket inspectors will be on their ages.  Thanks!

I am travelling around Spain at Easter and am finding it very hard to reserve the seats I need on-line.  I am thinking of going to a train station in Spain and buying them there - is this risky?  I am thinking of Santander late afternoon on a Sunday - would the station be open?  Or in Granada on 30th or 31st March.  Any advuce?

Hi, I want to do an Interrail reservation on the sleeper (EN414) from Ljubljana to Stuttgart in mid/late March, but most dates say “Currently not reservable” (it’s the same with or without an Interrail pass). However, it *is* possible to get a reservation on the same train starting from Zagreb!!Do Austrian Railways prioritise passengers doing the ‘whole trip’ from Zagreb to Stuttgart, before releasing seats/berths from intermediate stations, maybe just a few days before? Seems crazy when the price is the same!! If I book a reservation departing from Zagreb, but only board at Ljubljana, will my reservation be invalid and get thrown off the train?Thanks for any assistance.

I'm planning a trip to France, and haven't bought a One Country Pass yet.I have added many places on different calendar days to the Trip planner, however it says I only need a 4-day pass. I see the number of days increasing but sometimes it doesn't.  Am I missing something about the rules of what counts as a day, or is the Trip planner tripping? I understand it says “Passes from USD $xxx,” but if it shows 4 travel days, that means a 4-day pass is valid, correct? 1 13/4 paris - str 2 14/4 str - colmar   14/4 colmar - str 3 15/4 str - paris   15/4 paris - tours 4 16/04  tours - Amboise   16/04 Amboise - tours 5 17/04 Tours - Chenoceaux   17/04 Chenoceaux - Tours 6 18/4 tours - paris      

HiLooking at seat reservations from Bologna to Salzburg ( via Innsbruck) for June 17th. The Raileurope site says “Seat reservation has to be done at station”. It’s the 9:52 am  Railjet #86. Not sure what this means - that I have to wait until I get to Bologna on that day and hope there are seats? Any insights welcome. Jon

My wife and I have first class Interrail passes and we shall shortly be purchasing seat reservations for the journeys from Torino Porta Susa to Roma Termini and Roma Termini to Milano Porta Garibaldi.    I was very surprised when I went onto the Rail Europe site just now that as well as offering two reserved seats at £23.60, there was also the option to purchase seats in the “Business suite” for £41.80.   When I look on the Trenitalia website I see, other than Standard and Business class, there is only  “Executive” class mentioned.  So, am I right in assuming that for, effectively an extra £9 each my wife and I could get a couple of executive class seats?    And does this give us access to the Executive Lounges at stations?  I am questioning this because I have looked at previous responses on this forum and there it was said that a First class Interrail pass was gave you access to Business class but not Executive class.

I lost my phone so I transferred my pass to my friends phone in the mean time. When I get my new phone how can I transfer my pass to my phone after already doing one transfer. Online it says I can only transfer it once without customer support but I do not know who to contact to help with that. 

Hey everyone I am a student studying in Lille and have taken a 3 month Global Eurorail pass planning to cover Europ, but I facing the following issues:1) I am planning my Central Europe trip and then when I try to go to Berlin from Amsterdam it says seat reservation recommended. So what does it mean I can travel by not booking as well? 2) Also Lille to Berlin shows a non seat reservation of 24 euros but if I travel to to Amsterdam from Lille and then Berlin it shows only on 8 euro for seat reservation for almost the same time. Why is the rail planner not optimising to show me the optimised travel option ?How do I navigate this issue? It would be great if someone could throw some light on this issue. I am facing

On 1st February, my partner and I managed to book the once-a-day Renfe AVE Internacional from Narbonne to Madrid without any issues on the Interrail website (date of travel 1st May 2026, Interrail 1st class pass).We are now trying to book the return leg of our journey, Madrid to Narbonne on 10th May 2026, but we are unable to. We get this message: “No price results were found. Pass holder reservations may be sold out for this connection, but there are other ways to check for available seats—more info below our timetable.”If I search for the train we already booked (1st May) the same message appears. What happened? Why were we able to book the first leg of our journey but now that’s no longer possible? What can we do?To note - the 10th May trains are available on Renfe’s website, just not (any longer?) on Interrail

Is anyone else getting a syteem error when hitting the Go to seat reservation on the Deutsche Bahn app? It seems I can book seat reservation via Eurail, but then that would cost me 16 euros for a two-leg journey (i.e. 2 trains) instead of 6.90 euros for the same journey using the DB app! [10-2-2026]

Is there a direct train from París to Berlín please ? I have reserved a place for a direct train from Berlin to Paris on 6th May but neither interrail, Deutsch Bahn or SNCF show such a train on their websites. I did catch a Paris to Berlin train direct a year ago. 

I’m planning my trip with some friends and am onto the stage of booking seats for the trains that require seat bookings (Eurostar, etc), but part of the journey from Prague to Budapest - more specifically, Prague Hlavni Nadrazi to Budapest-Nyugati - says that a seat reservation is required. However, the cost is free, but when I go to book it, it won’t let me book it. It won’t let me add the tickets to cart and won’t let me do anything with them. I can’t even click on it.I don’t want to get there and then have to buy a ticket when I thought I didn’t need to. I’ve also looked online at other places, and the same tickets would cost a lot more than I would like to pay.How can I book these tickets for free when it won’t let me?

Hello, I requested a refund for my Eurail Pass and received a confirmation email stating that the refund has been processed. However, I have not received the refunded amount yet. Could you please check the status of my refund? Thank you for your assistance.

Hi, I’m trying to book tickets to travel to Marseille on May 11th for university fieldwork. I want to book seats as soon as possible, but my passport expires in July. This means I’ll need a new passport in order to travel in the EU, and the passport will take several weeks to arrive. Am I able to put in my current passport number on the booking, and the change it once I have had my new one issued? Thanks

I want to buy a seat selection for the Bernina express. Do I just go onto ‘tickets.rhb.ch’ and pay for the seat selection of the panoramic view train. Its 40 CHF each person (which I’m happy to pay) but is that wheat I do in order to acquire the seat selection? When I click to buy the ticket I add that I have a global pass, but I just wanted to know if I need to do anything else? 

Hi All, I bought a Nice to Florence journey, however because I only had to buy reservations for two parts of the trip, the 3rd part is now not showing up on my itinerary? How do I reserve seats that I don't have to pay for? Thank you!
