Hello everyone,You probably got a lot of these questions, but I can’t seem to understand what applies in my situation. Let me simplify:On day 1, I will leave my country of residence (Belgium) towards Paris and then catch a night train (the trip begins on Day 1) to the South of France. Does this count as an outbound day or as a 1 normal day of the 4 days that I have?Thank you in advance!

I have a youth mobility visa for UK. Which pass should I be getting? It’s a e-visa so I only have an email/document as a proof not a physical one. 

 Hi we are planning on visiting the Vatican from bologna. We saw that there is a station Roma s pierta that’s closer to Vatican City. Will the euro global pass cover the train from Roma termini to Roma s pierta or we will need to buy a subway ticket? 

Hello, I'm trying to plan my journey fromw Sweden to Amsterdam, but the ICE train from Frankfurt to Amsterdam doesn't show in the railplanner app. But it is planned to go according to the NS. Can I still take this train with my interrail ticket? 

Hello Everyone,  Currently planning a trip that’ll be taking place in 3 weeks. I’ll be traveling from the Lake District (UK) to Paris Nord in one day--yes, I know it will be long journey. Currently I’m running into the issue that the seat reservations will cost anything from $95 to $76 for either 1st or 2nd class (64 and 80 Euros for the respective classes); this is specific to my Eurostar transfer in London to then Paris. Not only does this not match the reservation table per Eurail page, it also shows that all reserve-able seats are sold out. So I am very worried that i’m running out of options.  I am also extremely confused and hope that someone has experienced something similar. If the reservations for the Eurostar truly cost $76 to $95, so be it. But will I not be able to travel on my London to Paris leg of the trip if I do not have a reservation? I’ve already tried contacting Eurostar but have not received any helpful response. If anyone has any helpful guidance, it’ll be greatly

There are still direct trains from Amsterdam to Frankfurt shown on the DB app, but on the Rail Planner app they only appear until December 13, and nothing shows up after that. The strange thing is that this route doesn’t even require reservations, yet on my travel date, February 14, not even the transfer options show up—only trains that require reservations.Because of this, I’m really unsure whether I should buy a Eurail Pass. I’m worried the trains might simply not appear later either. I don’t understand why this is happening. I was planning to get the pass for flexibility, but if the trains keep not showing up, it might be cheaper to just buy individual tickets instead.  

I am planning a trip as a solo 60 year old in Jan 2026.1/24 - leave Chamonix early to travel to Interlocken OST. I want to take the Mont Blanc Express and golden pass express.1/25 - leave Interlocken for Montreux - Golden Pass Express preferred1/26 - Montreux to Gruyere and back by train1/27 - Leave Montreux  late morning to Paris, High speed train if availableWhat eurail pass should I get? Will I need to reserve a seat on Mont Blanc? Will I need to reserve a seat (first class) on Golden Pass? Will I need to reserve a seat on high speed Montreux to Paris? If I have Eurail, how do add those reservations? Any help appreciated.

I am trying to book a ticket back to Barcelona from Dusseldorf on December 26th. However, there are no trains from Dusseldorf to Paris available. How can I find available seats or an alternate route?

I’ve purchased an Interrail Monthly pass for my wife and I. She is German but a UK resident however, the pass says she is German resident. Does Interrail automatically mark you as a country’s resident just because of nationality? Or did I mistakenly mark her as German resident when I purchased. (The later seems unlikely but, I suppose, possible).

Hi, what are the exact rules for night trains?If I travel from Vienna to Stuttgart in March on the night train departing at 11:28 pm, and then continue by train to Bayonne (arriving at 6:28 pm): Will I have used up two travel days of an Interrail Global Pass, or only one day (because the border station between Austria and Germany is reached after midnight)?

Hi. Does anyone know if you can use the Interail pass (2 month) on the Madrid transit system and specifically the trains. Specifically I’m looking at the C2 and C7 services from Vicalvaro to Atacha.

Good day. I am 60 yrs old. My wife is 62. Son is 20. Daughter 25. We are vacationing in Vienna in early June. We want to travel within Austria,take a 2 day trip to Venice(we want to travel there overnight) and hopefully day trips to Prague and Budapest. We’re new to this. What do you recommend as the most convenient vs least expensive trains. Thank you

Hello. My mom from the Philippines bought our Eurail passes. We will be travelling around Europe for the holidays.She put my residency as "Philippines". However, I have a Student Residency Permit here in Spain and reside here in the EU more than in the Philippines. • I hold a Philippine passport and a Philippine National ID which shows my home address in the Philippines.• But my Philippine passport only shows an expired Spanish Visa because I have only kept renewing my Student Residency Card in Spain. Will I encounter any problems since I have a Eurail Pass and not an Interrail?What's the best thing to do regarding my situation?

Hi, I live in Germany with a permanent residency but I am a non-EU citizen (of course with a valid non-EU passport). Can I choose to travel with Eurail pass instead of Interrail pass? I would really prefer to travel with Eurail pass as Germany’s central location and interrail pass’ inbound/outbound rule renders the interrail pass kinda useless if I want to say travel a few days to France and some days on the other side of Germany, to say Austria (unless I take some complicated route that doesn’t include journey’s in Germany). The language on eurail website creates a bit of a grey area (as it’s mentioned there that non-EU citizens who reside in the EU can ‘choose’ to buy an interrail pass). If I buy an eurail pass by providing the details of my non-EU passport, would it be fine or would I get into trouble? Has anybody been fined for such cases?  To be really honest, this inbound/outbound rule is very very inconvenient and frustrating, especially for people like me who live in central eu

Hi,I have seat reservations with DB from Köln Hbf, 23.12.2025 08:49 to Utrecht Centraal, 23.12.2025 10:59. The train is ICE 220.When I search in the Eurail app this train journey does not show up. It does not let me select Köln Hbf as an option for the outgoing train station.When I try to add the trip manually, the dates and times seem to be getting messed up and it shows the journey as 26+ hours. I do not want to add this trip as I am worried that it will use 2 days of the Eurail pass instead of the 1 day as the journey is around 2 hours.Can someone please advise what would be the best option to do here?

Hello.I'm going to the UK in the summer with Interrail and I'm going to get a new passport, and I'd like to buy a global pass now. My question is, can I give my ID card number or current passport number when purchasing, even though I'm going to the UK, or am I out of luck and have to buy it after I get my new passport? Or can it be changed later? Or will an ID card be sufficient to prove my identity in the UK?

Hello,I’m hoping to travel from London to Bologna (Italy) in autumn 2026.  I see there’s a 25% off sale on Interrail passes, but I don’t know if it would actually be cheaper to buy individual tickets.  Because the individual tickets for next autumn aren’t on sale yet, I can’t compare prices.I would be using only high-speed services (Eurostar, TGV, and Frecciarossa) and each of them has a reservation fee for each leg.  For Eurostar it will be 70 euros for the return trip, and I think the other two train companies might have a lower fee, but I can already see that the reservation will cost over 100 euros for the return trip.  I’m probably going via France, but I’m also considering going via Switzerland.I was going to do the journey this way:  Day 1:  London to Paris (Eurostar) then Paris to Chambéry (TGV).  Overnight stay in Chambéry.  Day 2:  Chambéry to Bologna (TGV and Frecciarossa).  I have insomnia so would prefer to stay overnight in an Airbnb rather than taking a sleeper train.  I

Can I use my Eurail pass to travel from Paris to Fontainebleau?

I have ordered a Eurail Global Pass for 2 months/15 days flexi use. I am getting a printed version of the pass (not mobile), because I often tend to lose or break my phone while on trips. I prefer to keep the physical passes with me, not use the app.  My main question is, do I have to wait until I receive the passes in the mail to book seat reservations on trains? Is it true that to book seats using a Eurail Pass, we must input the Eurail Pass number somewhere in the seat reservation? What is the best website to book seat reservations using an Eurail Pass?Your answers, much appreciated.

Hi,Looking to buy my senior pass now while there's 25% off, but am not 60 until March next year - although plan to use it in the summer 2026.Is it possible to buy now? Im 59 at moment.Thanks

Hello - my first post here …..  I live in France and am thinking of buying the Senior 4-Day Global Pass under the current 25% discount.I will use it to travel as follows :One day will be : Paris to London and then London to ManchesterThen the return, also in one day : Manchester to London and London to ParisMy question is - can I do this or not? I will be on 2 trains in the UK twice on the same day - Lon/Mancs/Lon … but also the UK leg of the Eurostar each day ….I’m looking for a flexible ticket , that I can activate when needed anytime over the next year - this to be able to visit my elderly brother and spend a few days or up to a month with him as needed. The Interrail Global Pass seems to offer what I need - plus much more flexibility and a pleasanter journey than flying and a much better price.Thank you in advance for your adviceJulie  

Hello everyone, I am actually traveling but my trip will soon end. I planned to come back from Berlin to Avignon with two different trains: One from Berlin to Strasbourg on the 18th of December. And the second is from Strasbourg to Avignon on the 19th of December. I went to a train station to book my seats because I saw somewhere you could include both trains in your pass. Even if one is from France to France. My problem is the train from Strasbourg to Avignon doesn't appeared on my pass. I kept a day free on my pass especially in case a controller says something. But what else can I do ? Thank you in advance for your precious advices !
