Hello everyone, I was wondering if I did 4 travel days, I would be able to go from Rome to Germany to France to Milan? and I can hop on any train during my travel day even if it’s local/ city trains?

Hoi, hoe zijn jullie ervaringen met zitplaats reserveringen? Wanneer je ‘You're ready to board’ ben je dan verzekerd dat je met de trein mee mag en wanneer het niet verplicht is, mag je dan altijd met de trein mee, maar wanneer er geen plekken zijn dan staand?

Hoi, een vriendin en ik willen graag een interrail trip naar Praag, Milaan, Strasburg en Parijs gaan maken in 11 dagen. Wij hadden enkele vragen:Is iemand bekend met Strasburg? Het lijkt ons een mooie stad(je) maar is hier genoeg te doen? Ivm een redelijk korte reis willen we toch i.p.v. naar Wenen dichtbij Parijs en Milaan in de buurt. Heeft iemand anders andere leuke steden? Met welke treinen kun je reizen, die bij de pas horen? Waar is dit te vinden? Zijn dat de ‘partners'? Hoe is jullie ervaring met wel/geen zitplaatsen reserveren?

I’m looking for tips on finding cheap accommodation or opportunities to work in exchange for a place to stay. Does anyone have recommendations for websites, apps, or personal experiences with this?Any advice would be super helpful

I'm planning an Interrail trip from Bologna, Italy, to Istanbul, Turkey, passing through Italy, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Serbia, Greece, and Turkey.Since Albania and North Macedonia aren’t included in the Interrail pass, does anyone know if the train journey between Serbia and Greece is covered? Also, for those who’ve traveled this route, do you think the Interrail pass is worth it for these destinations, or would other transport options be better?Would love to hear about your experiences and tips!

We have a group of 4 traveling 1st class (2 couples).  We purchased our passes but the other couple hasn’t yet.  Does it help with allowing the 4 of us to sit together if we purchase the other their passes under our account so all 4 of us will be on the same account?  Or can they buy their own, and can we all 4 still get reservations to sit together?  Thanks.

Hi everyone, excuse me if I have got this wrong, but looking for some help. I have paid €411.00 for a 5 day global pass, I have had to pay almost 50euro for the eurostar and seat reservations on my journeys are somestimes 15/20euro. Does this sound right? It just seems expensive. Also is it normal to not be able to book trains yet in France and Spain for the first week of June? Thanks so much community! 

HiSome of you may have seen a post ref from me - unable to book night train. This has now been resolved thanks to response from this community.BrendanDB - gave a very good insight in terms of day and night journey. Which has now got me thinking , in terms of if I should do this during day or night now.As it stands our plan and thought process is as per :Night train - 8th May - Oslo to Bergen stay 1 night in Bergen Return leg - Bergen to Mydral - During DAY time ) Mydral to Flam - day time Depending on how train times works out . Either stay for 1 night in Flam or catch a return train from Flam to Mydral and from there back to Oslo ( ideally during day time)Just wish to ask the community your thoughts on  this ?Our thoughts - Night journey  1 way and do day journey on the return legAre the view any different/better from Bergen to Oslo, as oppose from Oslo to Bergen

I HAVE A PAPER PASS NOT A MOBILE PASS.  HOW AM I GUARANTEED A SEAT ON A TRAIN IF THE JOURNEY DOES NOT REQUIRE A RESERVATION?  I AM TRAVELING IN FRANCE 

Using the ferry to go to Evian or Vevey / Chillon, is it possible to get a discount with IR passes? And if so, is this only at the ticket office on the day and do the ferries ever fill up? We only have 4 hours in Lausanne and so have few departure options. many thanks if you can help!

I read a post of two years ago. I want to confirm if this is still the same.My mobile pass and my friends pass are on my phone. Can we also add them to her phone for backup? E.g. when phone battery dies, phone breaks or is lost?

Hello everyoneI purchased several seat reservations for Spanish AVE and Alvia trains via the Interrail reservation service and happyrail.com. By accident, I put the Interrail mobile pass number instead of my personal ID number in the field while booking through happyrail.Would that be a problem while boarding the train? Or is there a possibility to change this wrong information?I also need to do some reservations for regional trains (Santiago - Vigo, Vigo - Porto, Badajoz - Merida, Merida - Sevilla), which aren’t possible to book online. Has anyone already tried to buy a regular ticket for these trains and change it later to a seat reservation only at the ticket office in Spain?

Hi, I was hoping to get some advice from experienced travelers and natives on this forum about my family’s travel plans. We are from the states, visiting Paris and Switzerland, and are debating between the Eurail Global Pass and the Swiss Pass. We will be staying in Paris for 2 days, traveling for 6 consecutive days around Switzerland, and finally staying another 2 days in Paris. We are not sure about our plans in each city yet but our train route is going to be:Paris → Geneva → Bern → Spiez → Interlaken → Grindelwald → Spiez → Luzern → Zurich → Interlaken → Zweisimmen → Paris Would a Eurail Global Pass or Swiss Pass be more logical for us? We are also open to suggestions and recommendations on what to do in each city as this is our first time in Europe. Thank you for your time.

Hello,I’m trying to book the sleeper from Hamburg to Stockholm on 1st August. It says there is track work and it can’t be booked yet. Trains are bookable for the 5th August though.Does anyone have any idea what track works there are and when the timetable might be published?Also it seems I can no longer do a test run to find out Interrail prices (I haven’t bought the pass yet) because it needs a valid pass number (I tried an old one and tried creating a pass cover number which didn’t work).Thank you.

Hi there, I'm unclear on the rules about outbound journeys. I have a global pass for one month. I plan to leave Glasgow and travel to the Hague as the first stop on my trip. The trouble is, i planned to take the overnight train from Glasgow which leaves at 23.40 on the first day of travel. I then plan to wake up in London and take the eurostar on to bruxelles at 09.10. I'm worried that I would use up my outbound travel day on the 23.40 train and then not be able to travel from London across the border the next day.  Do I need to make the outbound journey to cross the border all in one travel day (0.00-23.00)? Thanks.

HI I intend to travel from Norwich to London to catch the Eurostar. This involves activating the pass and using one of my days. What I am unsure about is if there are any peak time restrictions on using the interrail pass, for example boarding a train which arrives in London before 10am. ( Greater Anglia’s definition of Peak time train) 

Hi everyone, I am in Switzerland and want to take my son on a fun mountain day trip from  Basel on saturday for his birthday. He's turning 12 and I'm looking into the different opitions glaciers, snowparks, gondolas up beautiful summits etc. what would you recommend? We have a 1rst class interrail ticket so also open to suggestions on perks and discounts it might be worth making the most of. Probably won't go skiing as it seems a bit short and pricey once you get all the equipment plus my son has only been skiing once so he'd probably have to take lessons to enjoy it. Thanks for your adice!

So I am able to go from Stazione Termini Roma to the Francfort sur le Main to Gare de l'Est? we are not very familiar with high speed train stations so I just want to make sure we go to the correct train station. and do we need reservations for these train specifically

Hi,our planned schedule is the above 4 cities. Any advice/suggestions/ideas more than welcome.thanks in advance,Ashley

Do I need a seat reservation for that journey? in OBB there are no seats or reservation is not necessary? In a eurail it does not say anything about whether this route needs a seat reservation. On trains in Austria they always ask me to reserve a seat, I have Eurail first class, only for my first class do I need a reservation?

Family of 4 traveling to UK and Paris. I believe I have read enough articles to post my question. It appears that I will need to book 4 Eurail Global passes since we are traveling to multiple countries. Arrive in London on 4/10 and will take the 10:00 train to Paris. That train requires an additional pass. We would need a 2 day pass to have a return from Paris to London on 4/13. We would then make seat reservations on 4/14 from London to Edinburgh (no additional passes purchased) and then seat reservations for the Edinburgh to London return 4/20 (no additional passes purchased).  Is there any reason to purchase a 5-day versus 4-day global pass? Does the above itinerary work or make sense?Appreciate any help you all can provide. Thanks!

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!
