Get ready to travel

Can I remove pass from iPhone and added it again? I didn’t fully activate it.

Wondering if I’m calculating my travel days correctly as well as a couple questions about the pass. Plan is to fly into Amsterdam (aug14) stay until the 16th, take a train morning of 16th to Brussels & stay here until 18th. 18th morning train to munich staying until the 20th which then will take a final train to Krakow Poland. Totaling 3 travel days, offering me the 4 day global pass. Curious if trains will be necessary around the city while staying in these towns while sight seeing/exploring and if this will affect my pass usage days? Also curious if I will need the eurail pass from the airport to my part of town when arriving into Amsterdam or better to take local Ubers/cabs? First timer going across the pond so any tips welcome. 

I plan on being in Europe for a total of 34 days. I will be staying about a week in each of 4 cities in the Netherlands, Germany and France and 1 week on a cruise to Norway and Denmark. I calculate this would require 6 travel days from my arrival to departure. If I am reading the tickeing options correctly, the best way for me is to select a Flexi pass for 10 days which would permit up to 4 day trips within the the areas I am staying in addition to the necessary intercity travel. This instead of a continuous pass for 30 or more days.

I am hoping to travel in the opposite direction - Bordeaux-Bilbao-San Sebastian, but all routes take me a very long way via Barcelona. The Eurail website advises this is being updated, but wondering if anyone has travel this route successfully?

I am purchasing global passes for my family, we are traveling in June. Can I buy them now, and then our start date is just whenever we first use them? Or do I indicate somewhere what our first travel day will be with the passes? 

Hello everyone, when I planned the journey Amsterdam - Brussels - Luxembourg - Paris - Lucern - Chur - Tirano - Milan - Verona - Venice - Vienne, there were 10 segments that are in accordance with 10 travel days, I guest. Why did the Eurail website calculate 11 days of travel?

Dear interrail community,To be sure:If at one point (before activation) we would decide to annulate our global pass:can get a refund in money or is it in a refund in a kind of Interrail voucher for future Interrail purchases?thanks!Toon

I am traveling 2 days and selected the trains I want to take. They nicely show up in My trip. I did the seat booking through https://www.raileurope.com 1) because the yellow wheel in the interrail app kept spinning and ii) its is cheaper and you have control of the seat. Handy, because I am traveling with a bike.Now I am curious/uncertain whether my trains are actually booked. On certain trains where the booking of seats is mandatory I used the above website. How can I test the generation of a QR code for a travel day. The pass is active from 17 April 2025 and the trains in My trip are for 17 and 18 April. I had a look at the tutorial on YouTube but that is not so useful.

Hi,I’m trying to figure out an itinerary to travel from UK through France & Spain to Morocco on the Tarifa-Tangier ferry in January - I read that Man in Seat 61 highly recommends this route. However having got as far as finding trains as far as Antequera-Santa Ana (using seat61’s suggested itineraries) I’ve now got rather stuck. I’ve not found any departures at suitable times from Antequera to Algeciras, looking on the interrail planner, renfe.com and raileurope.com so I’ve no idea whether the itinerary is feasible, so daren’t book anything yet. I’ve a few questions…Is it too soon to expect train times on this route to be published? There seems to be one train time published on the route but at a totally unsuitable time - the one mentioned by seat61 doesn’t appear, although if I look at dates in December there are far more trains.According to seat61, the Antequera to Algeciras trains are Media Distancia. Do these require seat reservations?And finally, I read that interrail passhold

Does anyone have any recommendations for apps for train travel in Spain, France and Italy?

Hello,I would like to make a reservation for a sleeping compartment for a couple (male and female) in the SJ night train from Hamburg to Stockholm.Following instructions from a previous topic discussion, I manage to add my Interrail number pass through SJ company booking website, but I can either : Book “bed in sleeping compartment” and have to choose between Men or Women compartment for 1,660 SEK (Interrail fare) Book “private sleeping compartment” for 3,710 SEK (it looks that the Interrail fare doesn’t apply)By selecting OPTION 1, can my partner and I be in the same compartment or does it mean I have to book a private compartment (without Interrail fare) for my partner and I to be in a gender-mixed cabin ? Thank you for your help !

We (2 adults and 1 Youth) will be traveling to Rome in July 2025 and want to take a train to Germany, Austria, or some other destination to spend a couple of days then travel back to Rome for the last day of our vacation.  I need help on how to go about this.  Do I need a Eurail Pass or can I simply book passage by train? Are there restrictions or hurdles I need to jump to travel between countries in Europe?

Why can’t I book optional seat reservations on the eurail app

For some reason I am unable to do a bike reservation for trains crossing the Alps. For example EC67 from Bazel SBB to Milano.  DB (also app)  say that price is unknown. With Trenitalia it is not possible to reserve for a bike without a personal ticket. Any experience in this? How to communicate with Trenitalia (I already did) that I do not need an additional personal ticket. Btw, does the 3,5 euro ticket one can buy with a Trenitalia ticket guarantee a place on the train for by bike?Many thanks for your time!

Bonjour,Ce sera notre première utilisation d’un pass interail et d’un train de nuit.Nous souhaitons aller de Milan (après une journée de trains déjà depuis Bruxelles), vers la Sicile (on doit encore voir si on va jusqu’à Syracus, Palerme ou Messine).La date étant fin avril, la réservation n’est pas encore possible sur Trenitalia, mais est-ce qu’il faut réserver les couchettes via interrail (43 €/couchette), ou peut-on le faire via Trenitalia justement pour moins cher ?Nous sommes 2 adultes et 3 enfants, dont la plus jeune à 4 ans, du coup on prévoit de voyager dans une cabine de 4. Peut-on réserver pour 4 couchettes uniquement ?Merci pour vos retours,Joachim

I don’t really understand how travel days work and which trains I can take. For example if I take a night train anywhere before midnight from the country I’m departing I’m still under 1 travel day?. Also how would I know what trains to take when departing? (Cause I’m trying to start the destination from gothenburg to berlin but unaware how to actually start it) Any tips?
