Get ready to travel

Hello,I have purchased seat reservations on the Bernina Express and I am about to do the same for the Glacier Express. I chose reservation only as I will be purchasing a Eurail Global Pass very shortly and intend to use that for the ticket itself. A local travel agent has advised to book the ticket itself and link the seat reservations immediately as I risk not having a seat on my chosen travel date. I am wondering if this is correct as I was under the impression that a seat reservation was a guarantee of seat. I am reluctant to link the reservation just yet and book the ticket itself as I understand this deems my Eurail pass non-refundable as it is ‘activated’ and my trip is still some time away. Can anyone please confirm if this is correct? 

Hi, everyone I would like to know if there is an Allegra unit in the Bernina Express. We are planning to do a return trip from Chur to Tirano and use the panoramic train only in one way thanks!

HelloThis July i am going on a trip with my friends, and we are boarding on normal trains for almost every destination. However, on our trip from Amsterdam to Berlin we decided to book an European Sleeper through the interrail web.Is it necessary to add that reservation to my pass or can i enter the train only by showing the ES ticked i have reserved?If it is necessary, how do I add it to a travel day?Thanks

Hi, I am struggling to find a train from Budapest to Zagreb on July 10th 2025. Would anyone be able to help me out? I tried to book one on MAV website although it came up with reservation error every time. I would appreciate any help, thanks.

Hello -My wife and I are both seniors (over 60) and we live in the United States.  We are going to travel to Italy from August 18 through August 30, 2025.  We want to purchase the Eurail One Country Pass for Italy for 4 days in first class. What is the current cost for this Italy 4-day first class pass for two seniors?Thank you

I have selected all my reservations, want to pay but there is always a message that my data cannot be stored, so I can not pay. How can I change that or what am I doing wrong?

Hi everyone, I’m a swiss person planning to travel around from Basel, as I live here. I know that Badischer Bahnhof counts as Germany, which is very useful. I know that Basel SBB is also on the french boarder, but unfortunately in the app there is no option to pick SBB (France).  Do you know if that still works, let’s say I travel from Basel SBB to Barcelona? Or would it be helpful to just pick a trip from St.Louis to Barcelona and pay the first little bit?  Thanks for your help! 

Hello! I'm leaving soon on my Interrail pass. I want to take a train from Paris to Luxembourg on the morning of June 28th. But it says the information isn't available. What should I do? How do I reserve a seat? Or can I get on without a reserved seat? 

HeyI'm going on my first train trip with Interrail tomorrow. I'm wondering how it works in the cities I'm going to. Can I use my Interrail pass to travel by train, bus or metro to get around the cities?The cities I'm going to are:AmsterdamParisNiceMonacoVeniceMunichPragueIf anyone knows how this works or has experience with this situation in these cities, I would appreciate any help!

Hi, I want to buy an interrail pass for the summer, but I am not sure yet, how many travel days I will need. This is why I do not want to buy a pass yet. However, I already know that I would like to travel from Brussels to London at one specific day. I read in this post https://community.eurail.com/ask-the-community-40/making-eurostar-reservations-before-buying-pass-15151?tid=15151&fid=40 that you can make seat reservations before buying a pass by entering a 8-digit random pass number.However, the website tells me that my random pass numbers are invalid and does not allow me to proceed with the booking. I also tried the pass number of an ancient pass, but it leads to the same problem.Do you know how to solve this issue ?Is there still a way of making Eurostar seat reservations before buying a pass ? Thank you in advance !Best wishes,Anne 

Hello, everybody.I have a kind of “extreme scenarios” questions.I bought a global pass, 15 days within 2 months.I have some problems, and I have to split my vacation into two different periods this summer.Scenario 1:I use my inbound/outbound, but I still have left some days of travel. How does it work?Can I use them anyway within the 2 months? (Of course I need to exit and come back in my country at my expense).Scenario 2:Can I use all 15 days outside my country of residence?So, instead of counting 2 days as inbound/outbound, just use them as normal days of travel outside my country of residence?Thank you!Marco

I don't think Renfe actually post long-distance (as opposed to Cercanias) Ancho Metrico timetables *anywhere* on their website, and I wasn't having much luck googling, so in the end I emailed them about the León-Bilbao line, and they sent me this.Annoyingly I don't think it's viable for me to use this train for my own purposes (the 15 minute change at León from the daily train from Vigo/Ourense is way too tight), but hopefully anyone else wanting to can make use of this rare timetable.Not sure if the permanent replacement bus between the city centre and the Universidad stop departs from the main station or the closed FEVE station, that's a question for the next person to investigate! Also consider finding out which of potentially 3 places in León it may be possible to acquire your free ticket to access the platforms…If anyone else has any obscure FEVE timetables, tips or whatever, you're more than welcome to post below, or start a new thread if you like as I'm not sure I can change the

Why are there two times set for a train that leaves from the same station?

Since the 16th of April, Arriva Denmark calls itself “GoCollective”, since Arriva Denmark was bought of “Mutares”, a German company which tries to return the company to recognized and undisputed profitable market leaders...The question now is: Is Interrail still valid at these trains, now operated by GoCollective? Please update your information concerning the valid danish transport operators as Arriva is still named.

I have a night train reservation (couchette) from Warsaw to Budapest, but my plans have changed and I want to leave the train earlier, in Bratislava. Will this be a problem? I remember that attendants on some night trains take in your passport and only give it back in the morning, so if they don’t return it on time that might be a problem.

Hi,  I have created a journey from Amsterdam to Brussels (without reservation) and Brussels to Paris Euro Star (with reservation using b-europe.com) for today.  Unfortunately there is strike in Amsterdam today so I am not able to take the train to reach Brussels.. now my reservation for which I paid 116 euro ( for 2 adults and 2 kids) are going waste as I am not able to reach brussels today afternoon.I connected with customer care of SNCB (b-europe) and they said that your reservation can not be refunded and also can not be changed because you have not done booking with us for your previous connection (from asmsterda to brussels)EU rail team says that we also can not do anything as you have not done the reservation on our portal.  This is really pity and eurail is creating confusion by giving option to allow people to do reservation through different provider. Even If I apply for refund for delayed or cancelled journey, I will not get refund of 116 euro. and neither there is a possibil

Hi, I'm Annika, 18 years old and from Germany. I'm looking for someone to travel with in August 2025. I can't really decide where to go yet, but I'd like to see Scandinavia, or England and Scotland or something like - Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Salzburg and Munich? Just some ideas... I'd like to exchange some ideas and find some new friends :) You can dm me on Instagram; @annika_217

I am trying to delete trips that I will now not be taking. When I hold down the journey the only option given is to see the trip in detail. There is no option to delete, or no …. to go to. thanks for your help.  

I have a Eurail pass and plan to use it for the NOMAD/SNCF train from Deauville to Paris. That train line requires free reservations to bring a bicycle on board. There seems to be no way to reserve it through Eurail and when I ask them for guidance, they say to contact SNCF.  SNCF meanwhile tells me to contact Eurail since they are the travel agency. Does anyone have any guidance for this problem? I would rather not wait till boarding time to make the reservation at the station. 

I just noticed our seat reservation AMS-Zurich (July 21) got canceled and refunded (night jet) this was the start of our holiday, so the rest of our two week journey kind of depends on it. Any advice how to make sure we will get there in time (hopefully with night jet couchet). 

Bonjour 😊, je cherche la solution la plus simple et économique pour faire le trajet Berlin Stockholm le 21/07 pour un adulte et 2 enfants. Plus de places assises reservables sur le site DB Navigator entre Hambourg et Copenhague, impossible d'entrer le numéro des pass InterRail sur le site SJ pour réserver des sieges. Il reste le train de nuit Hambourg Stockholm en sièges inclinables à 57,60€ pour nous 3 sur le site InterRail. Si je prends les billets sur Internet est-ce que l'on peut choisir les places pour être côte à côte ? Encore merci pour vos conseils.

Hi.I managed to book the seat reservations for my Interrail trip for the routes in Spain and France, except the ones in Portugal because I’ve been told i can only reserve them via a counter there.But between Montpellier and Stuttgart i couldn’t buy a reservation. My train would normally leave July the fifth via Marne la Valley Chessy. Ive tried raileurope.com and happyrail.com but for both it isn’t possible for that specific route. Does anyone have another idea to help me out? Thanks in advance.

I am trying to make a free mandatory bicycle reservation for a French SNCF train, which I plan to take using my Eurail pass.  I asked the SNCF AI answer bot how to do that and it told me --“The Eurail pass is a transport package valid only for train travel in participating countries; it doesn't allow you to reserve additional services such as a bike space.”Additionally, SNCF seems to require me to have a ticket in order to get a bike reservation, and does not seem to recognize a Eurail pass reservation as a ticket.So if I want to travel with a bicycle, I cannot use a Eurail pass?

Sono bloccata e non riesco più né a prenotare né ad acquistare!

Where can I find a list of guaranteed Italian trains on June 20th? I understand there's a Nationwide strike but some trains are guaranteed to run. I am specifically looking for Fr9628 from Rome to Milan at 1120 am and Ec18 from Milan to zurich at 1510 on June 20. I also bought seat reservations through Rail Europe on those routes, so would there be any possibility of getting my seat reservation money back if those trains do not run and if so is that through rail Europe or the Italy train company? Thanks
