Get ready to travel

Im planning to travel from Geneva To Naples on 15th May.Could anyone suggest a route with mimimal reservations fees?I know it'll l be a very long day and would prefer not to arrive too late.Thanks

I’ll be travelling this August (Sunday 31st) from Aumale to Paris and then onto Gloucestershire via London.Ideally I don’t want to get into London too late as I know Sunday timetables often get delayed etc on the line from London to Stroud. Do you think this (below) is enough time?I can’t leave Aumale before midday: I’m toying with getting a taxi from Aumale to Beauvais then the train from there to Paris (I have to get a taxi from my accommodation to Aumale train station anyway).There only seem to be trains from Beauvais to Paris every two hours - do they increase the frequency in the summer by any chance? SUNDAY 31st AUGUSTAumale depart: 13:14Beauvais arrive: 14:12Beauvais dep: 14:40Paris arr: 15:57Paris dep: 17:02London arr: 18:30London dep: 19:30Stroud arr: 20:59 Thanks in advance! 

Hi Where I can find my mobile pass number? Is this the same as the pass number, which I received with the order confirmation?Kind regardsHansi

Hello, I’ve plan the itinary I want to do, and now I would like to book the tickets. But I don’t understand how the platform works. For example, when I look at the maps, they say that Bari and Brindisi are linked by a train, but when I go to book a trip and the train available, it always says that it is not available.  What should I do ? Should I see directly with the train lines ? How to you usally proceed ? Thank you very much for your help.  Ambre

Hello everyone!I would like to ask everyone about buying the first class ticket with the second class pass.I have the second class Eurail pass and purchased the first class ticket of TGV with the pass via SNCB. I wonder if it is okay by regulations of TGV to buy the first class ticket with the second class pass.Of course, I paid more fare with my second pass (about 60 €) than with the first class pass (about 20 €). Thank you!

Why do I need a Eurail pass to only travel from Southampton, England to London, England and back to Southampton? Can I just purchase train tickets without a Eurail pass? 

Hi eveyone! This is the first time I have used an Interrail pass. I’m much looking forward to it!I have a Global Pass.  I want to reserve a seat for a journey from Vienna to Brussels. I know the train/s on which I want to travel. I have found the section of the ÖBB website where I can reserve the seats. The Interrail instructions tell me to “go to the ÖBB website or use their app, select your travel details, choose "Interrail/Eurail" as your pass type, and then select the desired train and seat reservation option to add it to your booking”. I have completed the first two of these steps but I cannot find where to choose ‘Interrail/Eurail’. I have scrolled down the page and scoured the website. I can’t find anywhere to chose m Pass Type. Can you please help?

I want to make sure that my planned itinerary makes sense, and that the Global Pass I purchased includes trains that get me to each country from the previous. Here is my planned trip:Start in England. Next stop Paris. (I have purchased the ticket for this separately.)Next stop Amsterdam, NetherlandsNext stop Helsinki, Finland (I was told that Helsinki is NOT a stop on Eurail. Is this true? Is it a special destination?)Final stop Stockholm Sweden.Is this the best order? Are trains available between stops? Anything else I need to know? This is my first, and probably my last trip to Europe. It will take place in May - early June, and Sweden is probably the last stop (or if a better order makes sense that put Sweden either first or in the middle, I’d like to know). Let me know if I can supply any additional information. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi, we’re travelling to Europe in June/July this year. Trying to book a trip from Interlaken, Switzerland to Florence, Italy in early July 2025 but only 1 option coming up which is a 18hr journey. Is it still too early to be booking this trip and can I assume there will be more options available to us in a couple of months when it’s a bit closer to the travel date?Thanks. :) 

quick question i will be  staying in Lyon France is there a nonstop train to Turin Italy or any nonstop trains to Italy at all.thanks in advance

hi everyone..thank you in advance for your insights..we will be traveling around Europe in April-May. We are planning on catching a train from Milan to Tirano and from Tirano, italy take the Bernina Express...And get off in St Moritz and catch a train until we arrive in Lucerne, Switzerland.

Anyone know if I get 4 inbound/outbound days in a 5 days or a 7 days adult global pass as a swede? (I for instance got 4 inbound/outbound days in a recent 7 days adult global pass).I am asking this since I am considering staying a few days in the south of Sweden (Scania) before continuing my itinerary towards France and then finally I go home again to Stockholm, Sweden. And I also thought about doing the same on the journey back, i.e. staying in the south of Sweden (Scania) for one or two nights before using my final travel day to travel home (from Malmö to Stockholm). I might have to use 3-4 days of travel inside of Sweden to make this work. Would this be equivalent to "misusing the pass" (which I saw someone writing in a discussion about these pilots with 4 outbound/inbound trips)?

I have checked the rail planner app, and Rail Europe.Railplanner states £6 reservation fee for all trains from Sunderland to London.However rail europe states no reservation required.This has confused me, and Im wondering how to log the journey as free.

Hi all,I am travelling through Italy, France, Switzerland and Slovenia this April-June, and I am trying to determine the best value option for train travel. My first journey will be on April 22, my last on June 3. I’ve listed every planned train journey below.I’m trying to determine the best-value option. Should I get a Eurail pass, a Swiss Pass, or a combination of passes and single fare tickets?Are all the below trips worth using a whole day of a pass, or are some/all of the journeys short enough/regional enough for a standalone ticket to be better value? If so, what days would you use a pass on? What pass would you suggest?Complicating things somewhat is the fact I’m travelling with my partner up until Lyon, and we would obviously like to be seated together on those train journeys we take. He has the option of buying a shorter pass too, if it represents good value. I’ve indicated Naples > Rome Florence > Pisa > Lucca > Florence (Day trip) Florence > Cinque Terre (prob

I have a Global Pass 1st class. I’ll be travelling next March and April from Brussels to Berlin, from Berlin to Vienna, from Vienna to Ljubljana, from Ljubljana to Venise. Réservations are not required, not compulsory, but I’d like to know if it would be  better to reserve to make sure I have a seated place. Thank you.

Hi, I will be travelling to those cities mentioned from March 14th, to MArch 31st, 2025, what in your consideration, would be my besto choice to purchase a ticket? Im travelling with my whole family. Appreciate your comments, :)

I'm travelling from zurich to prague on 27 March 25 but have been unable to make any reservation on any of the apps/ sites for the direct night train ( leaving zurich at 19.56 arriving prague 09.13am the next morning .I understand that this is possibly because the seats have sold out however will I be able to just board the train on the off chance that I can find a seat or worst case sit on baggage on floor? I have a 15 day in 2 month interrail global pass but my itinerary is tight on days so don't really want to use more days than absolutely necessary please help 

How do I start my trip planning on the Eurail app?I would like to be able to stop at many different places along the way

Hallo,Ich habe meine Interrailreise um einen Tag vorverlegt: Ich habe meinen Pass deaktiviert und für das neue Datum aktiviert. Ich kann jedoch für dieses neue Datum keine Reservationen vornehmen. Das System sagt mir, mein Pass sei an diesem Tag nicht gültig. In der App sehe ich jedoch, dass mein Pass für diesen Tag gültig ist. In einem anderen Forum hiess es, man müsse ein paar Tage warten. Es ist jetzt vier Tage seither und ich kann immer noch nicht für den Abreisetag reservieren. Danke für jede Hilfe. 

Hi everyone, we will be traveling with Eurail in April. I wanted to include Northern Spain, but it seems as if most trains are not part of the Eurail network?Does anyone have experience here, and some advice? Thanks!

Hey everyone,I will be travelling on a One-Country France Pass through France. I live in Germany close to the border and want to take the local train Offenburg-Kehl-Strasbourg to cross the border. I also own a Deutschlandticket which is valid up to the borderpoint Kehl (Gr) (which is a few metres further than the physical train station of Kehl).My question is if I need an additional ticket for the section Kehl (Gr) to Krimmeri-Meinau (first stop in France) or if my interrail will also cover this stretch.Maybe this is kind of similar to Basel SNCF/SBB being included in the one-country France pass.Any suggestions?

Compré un pase de 22 días, que aún no vence y me restan 13 días de viaje pero la aplicación no me está dejando hacer ninguna reservación, que puede estar pasando??

I seem to be getting conflicting views as to whether I can travel from Zagreb to Split using a Eurail Pass.

I am planning on travelling to Europe from the United States for my first trip in May, visiting England, France, Netherlands, Finland, and Sweden (and maybe more). I am probably going to purchase the Eurail Global Pass to travel from country to country. My first stop is in England; next will be France. I’m not clear as to whether the Eurail Global Pass includes the train from London to Paris. Can you tell me if it does? If not, what additional ticket do I need to purchase, and how do I purchase it (is there a website? do I purchase in advance or at the time of travel? anything else I need to know?) Thanks in advance.
