Solved

I should explain two things:(a) My wife and I know precisely which trains we plan to take for our trip.(b) When we travel overseas we like to have both belt and braces.  So in the past we have always had both of our tickets on each of our phones and also have had printed copies.Will this work as a plan for our trip which involve seven days of travel.Some time before we travel we will activate our passes and put each of our own tickets onto our respective passes.We will then take screenshots of each of our tickets which we will then ensure are put on BOTH of our phones.We will also have make printouts of the screenshots of the tickets.Then as security against something going wrong and having to change our plans, we will deactivate the passes, and we will then reactivate them much closer to the time of travel and this time input the tickets for real.Peter

A Kolding au Danemark, seulement 10 minutes entre 2 correspondances,  pour changer de train vers Hirtshals. Sur la même plateforme. Est-ce jouable ?

I hope this isn’t a frequent question; I have had a search. 🤞🏻I have the Rail Planner app on my iPhone (and have deleted and reloaded it just in case).  When I’m in the Planner selecting journeys for my upcoming trip I select a train time and then click on the slot to go through to the details screen (screenshot) with a view to booking seats and, at that point, the timing of the train at the top (dark blue background) is correctly showing what I’ve selected, but the train time (against why background just below) is displaying ONE HOUR earlier.I have checked that my iphone is set to ‘automatic time’ in settings.  Nothing like this happened at any point last year when I was planning and then away travelling for 2 weeks.  I’ve also asked my travel friend to check her app (we both have iphone 15s) and it is NOT happening to her, so I presume the problem is centered around my iphone.  Has anyone met this problem or have an idea why it might be happening please?  thank you in advance. 

Hey, i was trying to add to my pass some train from london or edimburgh, but doesn’t matter which destination i put, the interrail.eu website tell me i can’t boo kthe seat from this website. What i have to do for booking seat and adding this trains on my pass?

Hi, although tickets are available for the Berlin to Paris nightjet, it is impossible to get seat reservation (nor couchette) on any night train on this route as for february, march or april.I tried on OBB website, nightjet website, DB website none is working. As for the interrail booking system, I must already own a pass to try to see the fees.Any information about why is it so difficult on this particular route?

I honestly don't understand what this means. English isn't my mother language and sometimes I struggel. But maybe I'm just dumb. Does this mean, that after the 1st of April its included in the pass? Thanks for the help🤗

For the trains that don't require seat reservation it is enough to show the QR code from the Discover EU App, or it is necessary something else, too?

On the eurail app it states that passholders get 10% discount on all get your guide bookings.This is not the case.only your first booking. Now I wonder what else is false and misleading on the Eurail app

I have a plan to travel to Sweden, Denmark, Norway in April, with 14 days.  lands at Stockholm (start) and back to Thailand at Oslo (end). I would like fellow members to recommend a travel route and interesting places to visit using the Eurail pass Scandinavian. Not too rushed. Please help.😊

How do I book for the Bernina Express?Do I search Bernina Express or Milan to Zurich?How do I know it's rhe scenic route?Apologies for the stupid question,  very newto me😉

Hello!  Me and my friends are first time interrail travelers and we just started to plan our trip for June 2025! We’re super excited! :)  We want to go to South of France, especially Cote D’Azur, and Switzerland. We’re thinking on buying the 15 days global pass. However, we have some doubts on:what’s the best way to go from Monaco to Switzerland? do you have any interrail rote template on Cote D’Azur? are we loosing a lot by not going to Italy? Would you rather go to Italy instead of Switzerland?   thank you so much for your help! 

Planning my first big trip!I want to fly into Sofia on July 22nd then visit Veliko Tarnova before leaving the country (ideally to Brazov) I know there are repair works but it seems almost impossible to get out of the country!Is there any quick way e.g. in 10/12 hours to get into Romania? or do I just have to skip Bulgaria which would be a great pity

Hello,my husband will be traveling to Italy this April. I am looking into a pass.

I nearly got caught out on this one, remember i havnt been on a train about 30 years never mind travelling to switzerland from ireland and travelling around on trains, there was a transfer that stated short transfer,11.55 pm - 03.55am, ( could be differnt time within minutes), it stated 47 hours or such so i thought it was a bug, what i didnt know is trains stop at around 12 at night and resume at around 4 next morning, only i noticed i wouldve been stuck at a train station 4 hours or looking at hotel, another thing the airport closes also 4 hours

Hello Community, I'd be extremely grateful for some advice on a 14 day trip itinerary in August I'm trying to pull together for my family (kids aged 8 and 10) The more I look the harder it seems to become, with night trains etc etc.  I have a rough outline, which is below 👇. But Im getting stuck on the details. Please please please help. I'm more than happy to copy try and tested routes. The trip outline is; Leave London, travel to Paris and stay for night or two, then travel into Switzerland, to stay around or at Interlaken for 4-5 days, then head to coast resort or town where ideally there is a euro camp or equivalent (france). From the resort, head back to London or if more appropriate fly back. Thanks all

Bonjour, Nous souhaiterions faire cet été Bordeaux-Stocklom en train via Berlin.Pour les tarifs, Paris-Berlin avec ou sans carte Interrail j'ai pu faire des simulations, et la différence n'est pas flagrante. Mais, pour le train Berlin-Stocklom, c'est moins clair, mais j'ai l'impression que le pass serait intéressant 😅. Seulement mon mari prendrait 1 carte adulte interrail, et ma fille de 10 ans en aurait 1 de gratuite (profitons !!). Notre fils (16 ans) et moi, nous n'en prendrions pas. Si j'ai bien compris, il pourrait avoir 1 cabine privé à 347€. Lors de la réservation, comment cela se passe-t-il ? Il ajoute nos noms à sa réservation ? Ou faut-il que tous les passagers aient 1 carte Interrail ? Je ne risque pas d'avoir une mauvaise surprise lors de la réservation ?Je vous remercie pour votre réponse et votre aide.Julie

Hallo, lch versuche für die Strecke Barcelona nach Granada mit AVE über Rail Europe Sitzplätze zu reservieren (Interrail Global Pass)?Aber in der App kommt der Hinweis nur an Bahnhof möglich? Danke  Peter  

I am very frustrated that Interrail does not cover many small railways in Italy despite comparable prices to other big countries. And I do not think Interrail is very clear about this. My question is this. Several small railways have been taken over by Trenitalia - the latest is Sistemi Territoriali from Venice. Others include FSE which covers the WHOLE of the Italy boot and FCU in Umbria. As Trenitalia is now the operator, does Interrail now cover these lines. If IR is not valid, why not ? David Haydock  

There are no connections shown in the timetables of major train companys (Interrail railplanner, OBB, DB) from Verona to Gorizia Centrale in July. It only shows a connection trough Villach, which is not really logical (and veeery long). The logical route is in the timetables of June. Does anyone know if the timetable is still incomplete for coming summer? Of is something happing with railworks in July around Gorizia Centrale?

Hope someone can help me please. I have a 7 days EURail pass and I am going to these countriesLondon to Praque . FlyPraque to Vienna 4 hrs train. Buy ticket approx. Euro 20Vienna to Budapest 2.5 hrs train Buy ticket approx Euro 20 to 30Budapest to Zurich will take overnight train using EURail pass Day1 Zurich to Lucerne 1 hr train . Using EURail Pass Day 2Lucerne to Interlaken area for using EURail Day Pass 3 to 7 My question is whether it is a waste to use Day 2 Pass to Day 7 Pass in Switzerland or should I use  it to travel from London to Praque or Zurich back to London instead of flying. Night train would be good but I cant find any such night train except from Budapest to Zurich. Will my EURail pass be well utilized in Switzerland in terms of savings?-

Hi there,I’m trying to book a train from Paris to Amsterdam on Sunday, April 13th. Weirdly, Eurostar doesn’t have any bookings possible on their website for that day (greyed out that weekend as well as Fri-Sun the weekend after, Easter weekend) and other 3rd-party sites (raileurope.com, omio) do have train options with Eurostar but require two transfers… Maybe there’s no service for the holidays? Not sure...So now I’m looking at Monday, April 14th since those have direct trains but I’m not sure how I can book one ticket with an Interrail pass and three tickets without an Interail pass for my sister and her two kids. I live in Berlin so it’s not possible for us to get to a Eurostar terminal to book the tickets. I could try asking a friend but was hoping there might be another solution? Any help would be much appreciated!Thank you!

Hej hej interrailers, i want to go to Norway and Finland on my trip. Do you know if it’s possible to go from Norway to Finland (over Sweden) via train or do i need to fly from one country to the other?Thanks for your answers and recommendations!Lea

Desperately trying to make reservations (2nd class Interrailpass) on a train (any) from Girona to Alicante on Wednesday or Thursday 5th or 6th if February.Tried several apps. Nothing works. Has anyone travelled this stretch? Tips are welcome as I am at the end of my wits

I am traveling with my daughter (3yo). She does not hold an eurail pass, since you can’t purchase one for minors under 4. I will be taking trains leaving and returning the European Union (going to and back from London) but I don’t know if she needs to have a booked seat for those trains. 

I wanted to ask questions on how seat availability is on trains which state “This is a popular train. Seat reservations are recommended but not required.”. For example theres a train from budapest to Prague but it says seats are recommended. Obviously if its possible to save money I would want to not pay unnecessarily for seats that are available without booking. For context we are group of 4 people and was wondering if all 4 would be enough for these kinds of trains. Would highly appreciate someone who has done this trip before and has experience to give advice on the subject
