Get ready to travel

Do we have an upcoming sale on the Eurail website? I needed global pass

I am looking to book a train from Tirano to Firenze (Florence) on an Interrail Pass but the results all send you back north and take 22 hours rather than via Milan - what am I doing wrong?

How can I actually use the credits? Are they visible in the planner app? I am starting to check tickets, and see no possibility that suggests I can use credits for making the reservations. Am I supposed to buy the reservations and then get refunded with credits?  I feel this is not easily explained anywhere, and it seems like something directly relevant to all Global Plus Plan ticket customers. Thanks for the help! 

Hi all,I’m a German student residing in the UK on a tier 4 student visa. Over Christmas, I want to travel to Germany (and some other countries) using an Interrail Global Pass. When booking the ticket, the form asked for my country of residence. My residence country is the UK, yet, I read in the T&C that I would need to prove my residence at some point. As an EU citizen, I only have digital proof, an e-visa, to prove my residence in the UK. I also have an official document from the German authorities confirming my de-registration from my old residence and indicating my new residence in the UK. However, I don’t have physical proof from the UK authorities of my residence. In related threads, people suggested setting the country of residence to the country of citizenship (in my case Germany) instead. However, I want the one outbound and one inbound journey to apply to my actual country of residence, i.e., the UK.Has anyone dealt with a similar issue and found a solution? Thanks!

Hello if I try to plan a  TRIP FROM PATRAS TO ATHENS the planner doesn’t give any possibilities. I says to ‘cut up’ the journey bt that doesnt work neither. who can help me finding the schedules for the trip from Patras to Athens with the planner of Interrail??? Thanks

Hi everyone,I’m a Korean student currently living in Switzerland as an exchange student from the fall semester of 2025 to the spring semester of 2026.I already have a valid Swiss residence permit and visa, both valid until July 31, 2026.I’m currently participating in an Erasmus exchange program and also have an ESN card.I was wondering if I’m eligible to buy the Interrail Pass (instead of the Eurail Pass) and use the Erasmus discount.If I’m eligible, I’m planning to buy the 2-month Interrail Global Pass, and I’d like to confirm whether it works the same way as the Eurail Pass — that is, whether I can travel freely within the covered countries for two months.Thank you in advance for your help!Best,MINJI CHO

Dear fellow travelers,As a student from Stuttgart, I'm excited to be embarking on my first backpacking adventure using a Eurail Pass. However, I could use some help with a bit of confusion about the reservation process for the Bernina Express.I've added Chur to Tirano on my pass, and the Eurail website shows that I'm ready to board and can buy a seat reservation if I like, but it's not required. On the other hand, the Bernina Express website states that a seat reservation and public transport ticket are necessary for a fee, which can be purchased up to two months before the travel date. The tickets are not linked to the seat reservation and can be used independently.Now, here's where it gets tricky. Reservations for the day are completely booked, and I'm not sure whether to try and book a reservation or enjoy the journey without one. I've attached pictures of the Eurail and Bernina Express websites for your reference.As seasoned travelers, I'm hoping you can share your experiences and

I have purchased Eurail passes for our December trip, and we plan to take the Bernina Express from Tirano on December 4th.  I have checked on the Bernina Express website many times over the past 3 or so months, and I can’t find a way to make a reservation for a date past October 27.  Is there a schedule as to when I would be able to book a reservation, or am I doing something wrong?  I appreciate any guidance.

Hi all! Very specific question on a track some of you may have experience with: Bruxelles (Nord) to Köln Hbf. It says a supplement is required, but when I go to the supplement information page of Interrail, this trainroute is not listed as one which requires a supplement. Any advice? And for those who have been on this route: Is it possible to buy the supplement ticket on the train? Thanks in advance!

Booked a ticket online thru Eurail: Paris to Eijsden ticket only shows Paris to Liege. Do i need to buy a Liege to Eijsden ticket separately, even though i indicated the full route?same on the return to Lille. Only Brussels to Lille shows on the ticket

I’m planning a month-long trip around France and want to use the rail system. My current route looks like this:Paris → Strasbourg → Chamonix → Annecy → Lyon → Arles → Nice → Marseille → ParisThe part I’m confused about is the Strasbourg → Chamonix leg. When I use a trip planner, it shows that the train goes through Switzerland. I’d like to save some money and just get the France-only Eurail Pass, but since that route technically crosses into Switzerland, would I need to buy the Global Pass instead?

Hi all appreciate the help.So I have a 5 day global pass for my europe trip.The trip is Rome > Florence > Milan > Marseille > Bordeaux > Paris. Each location 2 night stays.So I also already bought the reserved seats for all inbetween cities, does that mean I have to show the eurail pass along side with the reserved ticket for the day of travel? And therefore the pass cant be used any other day except for the reserved train dates?

Olá estou tentando fazer uma reserva de assento de caen na França até Milano porém da errado e não consigo fazer reserva como proceder 

When The Eurail pass directs you to a Lner website, it asks for a reference number to reserve seats. What number do you put? 

There is no proposition of reservation except through Barcelona to go from San Sebastain/Donostia to Bordeaux

I have a 7 day/month mobile pass.  Once we booked the 1st day (QR code) we tried to add the next day’s trip but the App won’t let us.  We can input the journey but can’t get the QR code to reserve the trains.  Haven’t tried the 3rd day.  What’s the problem?  Need answer ASAP. Thanks, mgg

Hi all, I am looking into travelling to a few destinations around Europe with my family (potentially UK to Germany, Belgium and france and then back to UK) and visiting some of the cities Christmas markets, would getting the interail global pass over 7 days provide me with the passes we would need or would there be extra costs along the way? I have looked on the Eurostar website and the cost added quite quickly so am trying to work out the most efficient way to do this.

Hi My rail journey planner has stopped working when I am offline with no internet. It has always worked in the past.It does still wirk when online.Any thoughts please??

Hey, I’m new to the Interrail Pass and I’m a bit confused about night trains.If I’ve understood correctly, if a night train is direct, it only counts as one travel day — the day of departure. So I’ve been checking the night train maps to see which routes I could take overnight.For example, the Budapest–Prague EuroNight IC 575 shows up as a night train included in the pass. But when I check the timetable to make a reservation or just to look at it, it shows a route with several train changes.Is that because the timetable doesn’t show the direct train? How can I reserve it?Or is it because there actually aren’t any direct trains? Would that mean it uses up two Interrail travel days even though it’s listed as a single route?Thank you very much for your help,Vicky

Hello everyone!I need to go to Germany in the next day and I just found out my Germany pass could not be valid… I thought that would be the right one, since I’m going from home to Hamburg/Bremen… But looks like Trains from Slovenia are not valid for this pass?Do I have to buy another one? It is very urgent… THe departure is on Thursday! Please, someone help!Ilaria 

Genève-Cornavin to Interlaken Ost on Oct 29 with a 1st Class Eurail Pass. Is a seat reservation required on this route via Bern? Also wondering if there’s any advantage to reserving on SBB InterCity trains

Lyon → Geneva (Oct 28)Lyon Part-Dieu to Genève-Cornavin on Oct 28 with a 1st Class Eurail. Is it TGV Lyria that needs a reservation, or TER regional option with no reservation. Late morning or early afternoon travel. 

Dear All Community member,I have plan to visit Interlaken and Zermatt next December (exact date on December 24th, and December 25th) each trip take from Basel. I have seen the schedule on the eurail app, which state that seat reservation optional.I do not have experience to visit both places before during christmas holiday. May I ask your suggestion whether it is necessary to book seat reservation for both trip during christmas holiday? Thank you for your help.

Hi, We are getting a 15 day in 2 month pass for a family of 5, 48, 47, 18, 15 and 15. Just wondering peoples thoughts as to whether the 1st Class pass is worth it compared to the 2nd class pass (about 25% more expensive). Will be travelling through December and January
