do i need to reserve seat for a 4 year old child?

Hey Guys, I'm 18 and this summer I want to do my first interrail with a travel buddy. I need help with planning as I bought a 15 days global pass to go and come back to ItalyThe city from where I am starting is Palermo which I'm going back before the end of the pass. The route would be Palermo-Zurich-Wien. Then I will be stopping at Bratislava to go to Prague (Bratislava-Prague) and Krakow (Bratislava- Krakow). After that I am going from Bratislava to Budapest, and Budapest-Bucarest-Istanbul-SofiaNow here comes the problem. From Sofia I wanted to take a shortcut from Sofia to Belgrade but I can't find anything to go to it. Also because I wanted to go to Zagreb and Ljubljana before going back to Palermo. I need y'all guys help you figure this out and also to see if any of you have tips or did this before

France and Spain - How to travel on trains with minimum or no extra fee ( France : TER, Intercitie, regional, etc. Spain : Largo Recorrido, Regional, Cercanias, ( Talgo ? )) in other words, NOT on TGV or AVE high speed, so as to avoid extra costs : do some need a seat reservation ? Can this be done in advance / or at stations ? I'm asking for advice from experienced Interail travellers about how to keep any seat reservation costs to a minimum or travel free on slower services...Is it better to book through national rail providers websites ( SNCF / RENFE ) rather than on the Interail site or links, to avoid extra admin costs, etc. ? or does it seem that we are directed to tickets with extra costs - or is it a case of being flexible and travelling more slowly on regional trains in order to be able to use Interrail Global Pass with the least costs or none, to improvise if referred on a daily basis - though you might find Interail quotas not available and be forced to pay extra to travel..

Hello. My wife and I are planning a trip to Europe in September 2025. We will visit France, Switzerland and Italy over a period of 3 weeks. Our major means of transportation is intended to be the Eurail Pass, but we will be spending some time in the Jungfrau region of Switzerland, and would appreciate some advice on the best options for travel there. Our current plan is to buy a 7 non-consecutive day pass and also a 3 or 4 day Jungfrau pass. We would use the Eurail pass to travel from Paris to Colmar, Colmar to Lucerne, Lucerne to the Jungfrau region (Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald probably), and then stay 4 nights there. We understand that the Eurail pass would be strictly limited in the Jungfrau region, so we would purchase a 3 or 4 day Jungfrau pass to get around between Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, Murren, Wengen, etc, while we were there. We would then use out Eurail pass to take us out of Switzerland and on to Italy, where we would spend the remainder of our vacation. I’ve done some

Alguien en español que me enseñe a utilizar la APP? Estaría dispuesto a compensar $$$. :)  Porque no entiendo los videos de Eurail son muy malos y su app es peor :/ Ayuda :)

I use to travel with paperpass and prefere that. But due to the discount right now, and I don't yet now my travel date, I consider trying the mobile pass. But are there still problems when using the app, or are most of the problems people experienced solved? I am not super keen to rely on technology, if it is not working properly or difficult to use.

Hello, my family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children) is planning to utilise the Nightjet service from Amsterdam to Basel in July 2025. We are understanding that these cannot be booked at moment, but had two queries we are asking the community for assistance 😀We are planning to purchase a Eurail Global 4 day Pass & reserve a 4-bed couchette; will the Eurail pass offer a discount on the total fare? Will we only need to pay the reservation fee?Also, because the travel is overnight, would this count as 1-day or 2-days against our pass? We are planning onward train travel in Switzerland immediately following our morning arrival into Basel.Thank you! 

I would like to travel from Barcelona to Alicante or Elche on December 24 using a Eurail Pass. I have the following questions: For trains like the Eurostar, I was able to check seat availability on the Eurail website even without purchasing the pass. However, for the route in Spain mentioned above, it seems like I can only make a reservation after obtaining the pass. If I purchase the pass but there are no available seats, the pass would be useless. Therefore, I would like to check seat availability in advance. What is the best way to do this?

Hello! I’m trying to figure out the travel day scenario and how it works. When I do the planner it says I should need 4 days, but then takes me to purchase 5 days. Right now we are looking at doing the following 4 trips. Rome → Bologna (Thursday mid day)Bologna → Rome (Friday morning)Rome → Florence (Monday morning) Florence → Venice (Wednesday morning) Based on this I assume I just need a 4 travel day in one month. But it isn’t helping me enough to explain it properly.  Additionally, is it better to go pass vs individual. Our travel friends did first class pass. But we have an extra day of travel over them.  thank you!!

HelloI can see ECD 9551 on the NSI website for the above date:  https://www.nsinternational.com/en/traintickets-v3/#/search/BEBMI/NLLLC/20250412/1357/1638?pax=A,Abut I can’t see how to confirm that it is running (trains to Amsterdam Centraal aren’t) nor how I can use my Eurail Global Pass.Could some kind soul please post detailed instructions on how to do so or is it just a question of turning up as there are no seat reservations?Thanks  Graeme

 I'd like to ask because I want to book an Eurail Pass seat but it doesn't work. If you try to book a seat without logging in, it will pop up as shown in the picture belowbut, Log in to the account where you registered your pass and click on the seat reservation and it disappears like the picture. So I can't make a reservation. Does anyone know the solution?

Hello! Looking for some advice/help. Me and my partner are planning on traveling from tirano to Milan on Tuesday 7th January. On Google maps and eurorail planner it doesn't seem to show this as an option (in January but it does show for December) and instead routes back over the Alps and via the mainline railway.On the Italian train websites it shows services available. Just wanted to check are these services running in January?
