Get ready to travel

I was wondering if anyone had recommendations about whether students studying abroad, (American) should buy the 3 month Eurail global pass. Would this allow me to travel unlimitedly within regional areas of Germany as well. Are there any limits to Eurail's global passes? Thanks!

Hi there,I have read through a lot of the topics about reservation timing and I want to make sure I understand when I am able to make reservations for my trips. 3 of my 5 planned Train journeys have reservation requirements.1 Domestic round trip in Poland (Krakow to Oscweicm) on June 16.1 Train from Krakow to Prague on the 17th.1 Overnight train from Munich to Paris on the 25th.If I have read the posts correctly it means I can start making reservations 30 days, 60 days, and 3 months in advance respectively. Is that correct?

We want to catch a bus from Kalamata in the south Peloponnese to Olympia. It appears the bus stops at Zacharo which is roughly 50km short of Olympia. I dont understand why this would be the case. There seems to only be the option of catching a taxi the remaining distance.Has anybody done this trip? I know that buses coming from the north go all the way to Olympia from Athens. Cheers, Renee L (Australia).

I am planning a trip to Europe and I am thinking about getting the Eurail Italy pass since I’m planning to explore Venice, Florence and Milan. I am wondering if you can use the Eurail Italy pass in subway stations in Milan?

Hi all! I was trying to reserve a ferry from Athens to Crete, and I can’t seem to find the Eurail discount option. Attached is a screenshot of a different route, the discount is very clear and easy to find. But whenever I try to book to/from Crete, it won’t appear. I believe the pass allows us to travel to Crete as well. I checked all three websites (Superfast, Blue Star and Hellenic) and I keep finding the same scenario. The discount just doesn’t show up within the options. Any ideas? Thanks a lot!!   

Hello all, I can’t tell from their website. Does anyone know if they do vegan options on the Glacier Express? I am keen to splash out on 3 or 4 courses but I’m not sure if they will cater for my partner who is vegan. Thank you!

Hello, I have tried to book a reservation for 2 people for the Railjet sleeper on 30th April from Paris to Salzburg. It says ‘ticket not available’. Does this mean the train is full? Thank you. We have a first class interrail pass. 

I successfully activated my pass and made the reservation in the website. My valid date is 12 Feb to 11 May 2023. However, when I click at the QR to add the journey to my pass, it said "your pass isn't valid on this date." This happens at both my trip on 12 Feb and 15 Feb. There is no deactivation button for me as well. I tried deleting the app and reloading it, but it didn't work. Could you please help me because I have to travel real soon. Thank you so much.

Hi. My husband and I want to take the nightjet sleeper from münchen ost to wien hbf.  I want to book a sleeper where only my husband and I share the sleeper. Do I book a double for us? Or a single? Are these twin sized beds? So maybe a double?

Hi, I’m Rai, my partner and I are plannning our trip in 7 months time.:Stockholm to Berlin to Prague to Vienna to Ljubjlana to Budapest to Kraków. Journey starting 4th August. ARE WE TOO EARLY TO BOOK SEAT RESERVATIONS?The website, the app, and the individual train station website all have not allowed us to book reservations. They show us the trains and prices but won’t let’s us progress past that. We have already got our passesIf we are indeed too early as we suspect, when should we book? As we then don’t want to leave it too late. thanks! 

Hello! I am looking into whether the 5-day pass is also valid if I start the journey on, for example, July 23, and arrive at the destination on June 24, but there are also transfers in between. In such a situation, does one day or two days already count?When buying a train ticket from Milan to Nice, does the ticket include transfers? There is also a question about the line between Venice and Rome, as well as Rome and Athens. Does this line exist? This option is not shown in the search.

Hi All, I’m looking at the eurail planner app to check out some potential trips. When I click on a train time and click on show facilities. I can see a dot point NRT tariff is applicable for given service (non reservation ticket). Does anyone know if I have a global euro pass does this mean I need to pay additional fee? Please see below as an example.   

Hello Everyone…So excited to join this community.. I have one question:I am planning for Switzerland and Italy trip in the month of May 2023. following will be my itinerary: Zurich - 2 Nights Lucerne - 2 Nights Interlaken - 4 Nights Bern ( Day trip from Interlaken) Milan - 2 Nights Venice - 1 Night Florence - 2 Nights Pisa (Day trip from Florence) Rome - 3 Nights I am planning to Buy 10 Day trip Eurail Pass as I have total 9 days of travel, so if i wants to add Gstaad  and Saanen (Golden Pass train) will it count as 1 Day trip ? What about Grindlewald first and Lauterbrunen are these covered in Eurail pass ? or i have to take tickets for these trains? also what about Lucerne to Engleberg for Mount Titlis?    

I’m still thinking through my route but I’ve started to save my initial trip plan with 5 rail journeys added so far - each follows on from the other. I haven’t activated the pass or any part of the trip yet. I am sure I will want to make some changes to these to add to or reduce some stays once I have the full (draft) trip entered - maybe to stay longer in one place and reduce time in another. I’m just struggling to see how I make edits like small changes, such as time, and keep the entry. I know I can delete journeys and add new ones but that’s long winded. Any ideas?

I am trying to book the trip below through Eurail and I am receiving a message that directs me to the ACP Rail website to reserve the seats.  Manchester Piccadilly > Paris Nord I've spoken to a representative from ACP Rail and they shared that I am unable to book this route on their website with a Eurail pass so I am quite confused on where I can reserve seats. I have tried reaching out to Eurail and despite the chat bot saying I will receive an email, I have yet to hear back.  I am hoping to receive assistance in booking seat reservations. Thank you in advance.

Can I use the 6 day pass from May 15th - June 15th or do I have to use it only within the month of May when I activate my pass? 

Hello. In the fall i purchased the month pass which needs to be unlocked as of May 1st, and i plan on using starting on April 27th. I will be doing more travelling prior to this and realized that I would like to purchase the 7 day one month pass because at that point I would not like to unlock my month pass yet. Is it possible to hold two passes at once?

I want to take the night train from Zurich 21:40 to Vienna 7:58 by Nightjet on the 8th of February. In the ÖBB website it appears as available and let be book it with the Interrail / Eurail - Globalpass discount. But when I try to save the ticket to my pass it does not show in the planner. What can I do?

echoing what several others have said here - i just bought a 2month/15day 1st class global pass.but as i start to look at schedules for all the trips i want to take - MOST of them are coming back with “No Prices Available” because the pass-holder quota of seats (i guess) are all sold out. so - i am starting to question the usefulness of this pass.  just spend $650 - and haven’t been able to find ANY reservations for anu train i’ve wanted to get on (Stockholm - Oslo, Oslo - Bergen, Zurich - Brussels, St Moritz - Zermatt, etc).  for travel in March. anyone else feel this way?  any advice on canceling my pass and getting a full refund?  and just buying point-to-point tickets? Appreciate your advice.  I am a first time user here. NB

Hello.I want to travel to north in September 2023. I want to visit Estonia, Lethonia and Lithuania. The global pass in available in these countries? There is a way to arrive from Poland to these countries by train?Thank you!

Hi all,Recently I bought and received a paper global pass for 7 days in 1 month. You can connect your paper pass in the app and choose to record your trips in either one. My question is as follows: if I wanted to register them in both at the same time, would that be a problem? I like the paper pass as a memento for later, but the app is also very practical. If I would record a trip in the app, but also on my paper pass, would that be wrong?
