On our first day of travel we have to get to St Pancras (from Reading) to access our booked Eurostar train.That means travelling on a peak time GWR train that would normally cost £60 in rush hour. I know that domestic travel on the day of commencement and day of returning home are covered by my pass--but how do I access tyhat? Do I just show up at Reading station and ask to get on the peak rate train by showing my Interrail pass--or do I have to book a train with the benefit of my pass?And likewise, what is the prorocal coming home?

Hi Interrail Community!I’m looking for epic recommendations — places where I can ride a hot air balloon, soak in natural hot springs, slide down natural water slides, visit stunning photo spots, or do anything truly unforgettable and bucket-list worthy. I’d also love to hear about scenic routes, unique local experiences, iconic photo spots or any jaw-dropping ideas that made your trip legendary. What would you definitely recommend? Thanks in advance!

Hello friends,I entered the location and date information I would like to go to in the travel planning section. I made a selection from the results and saved it with the "save Journey" button. After saving, was my ticket purchased for my trip? How can I view my ticket? What will I show when the conductor asks for a ticket?

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?

Heyyy, my name is Ilma and I‘m a 18 y/o female who lives in West-Germany and I‘m looking for travel buddies who might have the same or similiar destinations.I thought about travelling to France, Spain and Italy and staying about 3-4 days in the capitals and then another 3-4 days in another city in those countries.We wouldn’t need to be travelling the whole 30 days together and or paths may split, but that wouldn’t be a problem - it would just be nice to not be whole time alone. :)

Hello Interrail community,I bought the global pass 15 days within 2 months. Within this trip I would like to go on the first month on a big trip (visiting 4 countries and several cities, but of course starting from my country of residence) using about 11 travel days and on the second month (weeks later after my first trip) i want to travel to only one other country/destination.I read, that you are only allowed to travel twice within your county of residence. So does that mean, when my first trip ends, the way from my origin country and back is not included anymore for my second trip?The second trip would be from Austria (country of residence) to Amsterdam.Thanks a lot for your time and help!Kind regards,Andreas

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.

HiI have purchased Global Euro Pass and also purchased few reserved seats. However I am unable to create and save the itinerary under the Trip Name. Please help. Regards 

Hello dear community,We already have a ticket, route season ticket, and/or GA Night travelcard for Switzerland. We're wondering: If we still have travel days left that we don't need for trips abroad or back to our home country, can we use them within the validity period for a trip that takes place exclusively within Switzerland—i.e., a trip that doesn't involve leaving the country?Danke euch

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

The title says it all really.I purchased a 6 day one-country (senior) 1st Class pass for Poland for Euros 135.What came in the invoice was a 2nd class pass. 🤔 I went back in to check if I had made a mistake, because then I would cancel it, get a refund and get the correct ticket. But that is the correct price and I’m not stupid..I was careful as I ordered it. Also, the chatbot didn’t recognise the pass number. Kept telling me the pass number wasn’t correct. I was literally reading if off the email letter by letter and ummmm I know my surname. Anyone else had this problem? It seems very odd for a system to make this kind of error. Best wishes, Mark

I’m planning to take the Eurostar to London Paddington and the travel further north from London Kings Cross on the same day. I assume I’ll have to book seats for both journeys. What happens if the Eurostar is delayed and I miss the booked connection? Can I just get the next train north?

Hello! I am planning a trip from Amsterdam Central to Prague Hlvani Nadrazi. I can save 16 euro and about an hour and a half of travel if I do a 5 minute transfer from Schwandorf platform 4 to platform 5 headed to Prague Hlvani Nadrazi at 5pm on a Monday. Do you think I could be successful with this transfer or would it be better to spend the extra 16 and 1.5 hours of travel? Thank you so much for the advice! I’m new to eurrail and appreciate learning from the experience of others. 

Hello,I have a Global Interrail Pass and I'm planning to travel on the Euronight train from Zagreb to Celje on Sunday, 3rd of August. The train departs from Zagreb Glavni Kolodvor at 18:10 and arrives in Celje at 19:54. This train goes all the way to Stuttgart but I only need this short leg of the train which is also not overnight. However, I'm having trouble making a seat reservation for this part of the journey through services like ÖBB, where it says currently not reservable. This is possibly due to construction works. Would this mean the train isn't even running? Furthermore, would you need a seat reservation for this very short journey as it is not overnight or would my interrail pass be enough? And if so how can I make a seat reservation as it's not currently reservable.Thank you for your help!

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

I was told that if I want to be able to pick a seat and rest, get a first class ticket on eurail and get a reservation.  Now it tells me I don’t need a reservation and there doesn’t seem to be an option to make one even if I don’t need one and it doesn’t even ask about the ticket type.  I assume there are a limited number of first class tickets on any given train.  Does anyone know how I navigate this to put in my ticket type and pick the seat?  

So my girlfriend has a Discover EU pass while i have an Interrail pass. We want to sit close to each other in trains that require seat reservetion, however we cant form a group in the booking system. It says that there are different passes and cant be connected or put in a group. Does someone know a solution?

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
