This is our first trip to Europe and the first for train travel.  We would like to see the most scenic route and are in no particular hurry.  We have a Eurail pass.

Hı im sümeyra. İm 33 years old. İm studying at horse bacak riding. I will go to hungary on 1 august from turkey. I want to learn how train baggage weight policy.  So, how much weight can I take on the way there or back? Are there any restrictions on trains regarding this? I'll probably take one large suitcase and a 40-liter backpack on the way there, but I might take more on the way back.  Also, regarding train routes, there's a train from Türkiye to Bucharest that I'll be taking, and from Bucharest there's a train to Budapest. However, my destination in Hungary is Gyor. If there are any friends who live in Hungary and use trains, or who use trains on routes in that region, I would appreciate their comments.

Hello! I will be staying with my family of 4 in Interlaken this July. We will all have an Interrail pass (1st). I’m sure I read before about passes being used to get boat trips Lake Thun and Interlaken. Does anyone know if this is the case and if you need to book in advance or how you go about this? Any recommendations much appreciated!!

Hello,i wanted to post about some of the train museum i visited on my travels. France:Mullhouse Cité du Train Great train museum. Another museum nearby nearby which is also woth a visit is the Musée Electropolis (a combined ticket for both museums is available)Austria:Eisenbahnmuseum Strasshof “Das Heizhaus”. I recommend to visit this museum on one of the event days. (Dampftag, etc.). The museum can be reached by train from Vienna. Eisenbahnmuseum Schwechat: small train museum, easy to reach from vienna. But in my opinion not that interesting. I would recommend the Eisenbahnmuseum Strasshof “Das Heizhaus” over this one.Germany:DB-Museum Nürnberg: Great big Museum close to the main train station of Nürnberg.DB-Museum Koblenz: This one i recommend doing on one of the days where there is an event.Bayerisches Eisenbahmuseum: Lot of steam trains. Best time to visit is on a day where there is an event or some of them are running.Slovakia:There is an outdoor display of old trains near Bratisl

Hi everyone!In a few days I would like to cross the border between Sweden and Finland through Haparanda-Tornio. I have read on the Interrail website that this cannot be done by train therefore there is a bus connection included in the pass. I don't know if this is due to covid but it seems there is no bus crossing the border for the moment.On Maps it seems like the distance between Haparanda and Tornio train stations is about 1 hour walking distance. I don't mind doing that but I would like to be sure it is possible and my only option to join Finland up north.Has anyone done that recently and could help? :)Thanks in advance!Laura

Hi my name is Ada. Im from Turkey. My friend and I think of travelling to portugal, spain, hungary, austria, italy and germany in late july-early august. We are pretty adaptable and social. We want to make new friends. If you want to hang out dont hesitate to contact me on insta!:)) @ada_tnrvrd and my friend @ilayydaadenizz

​@Eurail Community Moderator There are only 2 good connections between Trieste and Ljubljana, with a change in Villa Opicina, so it's important that people can find them. Previously, not all trains were entirely in the timetable/MERITS, but now they are.However, the evening journey with departure at 19:07 from Trieste, is not shown, although there's a direct connection in Villa Opicina (arr. 19:37, dep. 19:45). Maybe the planner thinks that's too short, but Villa Opicina is a very small station, 8 minutes is plenty of time to change, and the only reason for the 19:45 departure is to connect with the train from Trieste.The planner lets you hang around in Villach instead:The train to Villa Opicina is in the planner though:And the connecting train too:Could Trenitalia be persuaded to include this connection in their timetable? I suppose it's a matter of changing the minimum connection time.

On my current trip i discovered Pontresina and the area arround it. I started without a plan and ended up there. But the region arround here is awesome as there a a lot of things that can be reached from the train (Rhätische Bahn). For example Pontresina has a small canyon next to the city. There is a ca. 3,5 km long walk arround it with information. Then a couple station from Pontresina (Mortagratsch) you can hike for 3,5 km to reach a glacier (Mortagratsch glacier) from the train station. The last past of that hike is difficult mountain terrain.From the Mortagratsch train station you can also hike along some waterfalls.Then there is Bernina Diavolezza where you can take a gondula up to almost 3000m.And its also situated along the Bernina railway route to italy if that is something you want to do (nice scenic ride)

Apparently there are no reservations available back to Edinburgh from London Kings Cross on August 22nd with LNER. Lumo may have availability but their services are not listed in the app. Fine to chance it on either with my pass but not having the full picture is inconvenient.

Hi everyone!I started my first backpacking trip some days ago, traveling from Stuttgart to Istanbul via Vienna, Belgrade, and Sofia. I just arrived in Belgrad and am writing this question while waiting for the metro. Since it's my first time in Serbia, I wanted to ask if anyone has any special recommendations besides the usual tourist attractions. I'm really looking forward to tips on hidden cafés, parks, or simply beautiful streets. Perhaps someone is also in the Belgrad and would like to grab a drink with me. I'm planning to stay for 2-3 days.Thanks in advance!Best regards,Lene

I'm always looking for good value for money 😉. This is a single travel day, boarding the Caledonian Sleeper at its first station after midnight (Dunblane), and reaching Turin in time for the Intercity Notte much later the same day.I've also looked at Härnösand in Northern Sweden to Basel. I'm sure there are longer journeys possible. Any suggestions?  

Good evening! We're visiting Copenhagen tomorrow for a day trip. Any tips from locals or fellow travellers who've already spent time there on what we definitely shouldn't miss? Especially when it comes to food? :) Thanks I'm advance!

We really don’t want to have to go via Munich, and were thinking that Innsbruck to Chur might be scenic.Any thoughts, recommendations?

Hi everyone,my friend Clemens (18) and I, Anton (19) are doing an Interrail trip through several Balkan countries this summer. We start from Nuremberg on July 21st, arrive in Sarajevo on July 22nd, and continue through the Balkans before finishing in Chișinău on August 7th.Originally, a third friend wanted to join us, so we already booked a few accommodations and one bus ticket for him — but he dropped out .So if anyone around our age is interested in joining for parts of the trip, meeting up on the way, or wants more details about the route, feel free to message me on insta @clem.stnr .

Hello! I wanted to know if the best route to go from Bruges to Strasbourg on October 17 is the one vía Paris. If you have any suggestions I am open to them. Another problem is that the train from Bussels to Paris in this route appears as “sold out” of seats for pass holders. I dont know what is my better option. Thanks!

I wonder if anybody has a paper copy of the old interrail maps from the mid 1980s. on my first two trips I used the ferries from greece to Italy, which were then included free, and also went as far as marrakech, as morocco was also included, although the eastern block was not (yugoslavia was). I made a scrap book on my return from my first trip in 1982, which had the map from that year included. I also used a  thomas cook fold out rail map of europe, as well as the paper rail timetable book that they produced.  my route with the interrail started in Venlo, as we took a coach from London to Amsterdam, with the intention of hitch hiking to Luxembourg over the following week, but we only got as far as venlo (mostly by local short trains) . my journey then went : Lucerne, Lichtenstein, Innsbruck, Garmisch, Munich, Salzburg, Llubjana, Rijeka, Zagreb, Belgrade, Thessalonika, Athens, Bay of Marathon, Aegina, Patras, Brindisi, Naples/Pompei, Rome, Menton/Monaco, Barcelona, Madrid, Toldeo, Avil

Best trip was from, Amsterdam all the way to Lisbon with interrail 

My favourite train journey is Budapest-Prague, I have taken this route many times, and I surely will in tue future too

Acostarte en el IC Nuit en la Gare Austerlitz y amanecer viendo el mar soleado en el País Vasco francés... Indescriptible 

I visited central Europe, I went from France, to Gearmany and even reached Czech Reupublic, so I have to admit that my dream route currently, would be the one that circles Spain and Portugal!
