Nous sommes 2 complètement novices avec Interrail et l’informatique, donc besoin d’aide pour préparer voyage en train de Toulouse à Stockholm. D’après nos recherches, il semblerait que les étapes soient :  -Toulouse/Paris -Paris / Hambourg -Hambourg / Copenhague -Copenhague / Stockholm (soit 4 trajets, c’est bien ça?)Puis retour par le même trajet = 4 trajets supplémentaires; donc pass global 10 jours, c’est bien ça?Question 1 : le trajet de Toulouse à Hambourg, compte-t-il pour 1 seul jour ou 2 jours? (exemple : si on prend un train de nuit de Toulouse à Paris, la suite du trajet de Paris à Hambourg démarre sur un 2e jour ou compte pour le même 1er jour?)Question 2 : idem pour le retourQuestion 3 : quelqu’un aurait-il déjà fait ce trajet et si oui, quelles sont vos suggestions?Merci merci! 

I am going on a trip soon and will be using the mobile pass for the first time. I read and watched the video on how to use the mobile pass but it was very fast moving, even pausing and re-watching. I have the 7 days in a month mobile pass.12 years ago I had a paper Eurail pass, again for 7 days in a month, I simply picked the train I wanted, by writing the train and route on paper, and hopped on. Sometimes I even boarded the train first, sat down, then wrote down the name of the train I was on after departure. Is it still that simple? I don’t know why but it makes me very nervous because it seems a lot more complex, with hard deadlines on when to book and choose a train. I see ‘up to 24 hours’ etc. I am now a family of 4 and imagine myself frantically trying to link the train I need for 4 people at the last second, or trying to activate the day too early and losing one of my days. I’ll be in Italy and Switzerland. Most of the trains I am taking need reservations, which I already got th

As a single woman travelling how safe is it with the sleepers trains? Any top tips would be greatly appreciated 👏 

Hi guys,I’m organizing my first trip in the Baltics and I was thinking about moving with LuxExpress, since trains are not the best around there. I was considering a night-bus from Warsaw to Vilnius and then day buses for Vilnius-Riga-Tallinn. Someone more experienced than me can please tell me if LuxExpress is a good company? How are the night-buses and the buses in general? Most importantly, is it safe to book now for August? And finally, how can I get a discount if I’m less than 26 y/o?I’m more accustomed to trains so I have no clue of how buses are or work… 😅Thank you very much in advance

We are travelling as a 6 next week (from 11th) around Italy and France. On the first day we have booked an overnight train and on the last day we have booked a fast train. On the other 3 days of travelling we are taking it easy and taking the day to travel on slow trains. Am I being naive by not booking trains for those days? I understand that not all trains can be booked but I don’t want to get caught without a train to get on.Any advice would be great.

It’s my last of my 7-day train  within my 30 Day Interrail Pass, but not the last of the 30-day range.I’m leaving Oslo at 15:45 and will arrive in Hamburg at 05:58 in the morning.To get to Frankfurt, I’ll need to book a separate ticket, since it’s not included in my pass. Is that right?Thank you

I’m trying to book tickets for my family on a Eurail 1st class pass.I’m looking to go Spiez → Venezia San Lucia on 11th October 2025.When I look for reservations on Eurail website/app, it tells me I can’t reserve the Spiez → Milano Centrale leg due to lack of availability. (both 07:44 service - EC 61, and 08:44 service - EC 43)Similarly, if we left earlier and got the regional train to Brig, it won’t let me reserve the Brig → Venezia EC 41 service (07:41 → 12:42).When I look at OBB, it brings up the 07:44 service from Spiez, via Milan, but states that the reservation is only for the Milano → Venezia leg. The 08:44 service states that it is booked up already! If I try to look at the same route via RailEurope, it doesn’t come up with any trips at all!!Any ideas about how to navigate this? My understanding is that the EuroCity services from Switzerland to Italian destinations do need reservations, but nothing seems to be coming up. Is it likely that all these services are already booked,

Hi all,I’m trying to book Eurostar travel for January 2026 using my Eurail Global Pass, but Eurail keeps showing the message:“Sorry, the journey details for this date are not available yet.”However, when I check directly on the Eurostar site, trains are clearly running for my chosen date. I’m still within the 6-month window, so I was expecting pass-holder seats to be bookable by now.Has anyone else run into this? Is this just a delay in Eurail releasing the schedule? Or could the pass-holder quota already be sold out? Any insight or tips would be appreciated! I’d like to avoid paying full fare if possible. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, We'll be venturing to Denmark and Sweden this summer and this is new territory to me when it comes to operator pass validity and the reservations. I am doing the planning mostly with bahn.de as they include everything, however the information about reservations being required is conflicting with the information on interrail's own planner (which I prefer not to use for planning as I know it can be outdated).So my question is: where do I find the ultimate truth whether a reservation is required or just optional?I can make reservations on SJ.se and the cost of 35 SEK which is of course not a a great sum, however their English-version website is not clear about whether the reservation is optional. I prefer not to fix ourselves beforehand (our freedom-lesson from earlier trips) and therefore take trains without compulsory reservation. Here is an example of contradictory information for a particular journey we want to make on 5 August:10:23 ODENSE (Denmark) EC 1198interrail planner s

Hello trying to book a reserved seat. Need to do it at the station and no one understands the Eurail pass. I am in Bulgaria. cannot help please? 

I got a eurail pass for 4 days in one month and have it all planned out to go from london to paris to madrid.. etc, but I was wondering if I can use my pass for shorter local journeys in each city on travel days as well? For example, I’m going to arrive in Paris around 11 in the morning and want to use that day to explore the city. Can I just my eurail pass to get around the city that day or is local travel not included? And if It is included how do I go about adding those journeys to my pass? 

Hey, I live and study in the netherlands but I don't have a official rental agreement and I´m not officially registered in the netherlands. Is it possible to use my student ID / Proof of enrolment as a official residency document, so I can choose netherlands as my country of residence? Generally, is there a general rule what counts as a general residency document? Happy to get some help with that :) GreetingsRikky

Sortirem de Lió i anirem a Lucerna.L’app ens ofereix el trajecte Geneve-Lausanne-Zurich. Però, per passar per llocs més atractius, estem sospesant el trajecte Geneve-Montreux-Visp-Spiez-Interlaken. Són massa canvis en un dia? Ens podem fiar dels horaris dels trens suïssos? Sols ens apareix reserva opcional entre Visp i Spiez i ja l’hem fet. Però voldríem assegurar-nos que és viable. Arribaríem al destí a les 20:30 aproximadament. Tenim un Aribnb reservat. És massa just el timing? Què us sembla?

Hi, I am trying to do my seat reservations through Eurail but when I log into my account it shows I don’t have a pass. I have gone back and forth with the Live Chat but I have still only managed to book the two trains I can using Eurostar. I need to book the rest. Any help?

I’m into my second class pass for a few days now in Norway.  I’m having no luck reservation of seat on train if it’s required through eurail app. Entur website seems to require i buy ticket to reserve seat which doesn’t make sense.  I have to call customer service to reserve seat, lengthy wait but i get the reservation for seat.  Why is this so difficult?  I am thinking of upgrading to first class pass.  Any suggestions?

Hi guys!I know I have to activate the Flex Pass in the app by scheduling its 1-month validity period by 31st of August 2025, but I don’t know when I will travel or where, so I have no idea which day I will start my trip. Will I lose my pass if I don’t do it? Can I pick a random date and change it when I will plan my trip? Any help would be really appreciated.Thank you,Maria

Hello, I already created a trip that is linked to my DiscoverEU interrail pass. I would like to share it with the people I will be travelling with. I have already tried sharing the trip as a link but it opens in the Eurail planner mobile app. Is there a way to share a trip in the DiscoverEU app? Are my friends forced to use Eurail planner?

Good morning,  I have a reservation that can’t be refound. i am planning to change the trip plan. It seem that the reservation can not simply be cancelled (i don’t need the money back). What will it happen if I don’t use a reservation?    Thanksregards

Could you please let me know if there is a train route available from Östersund to Gällivare? The route is shown on the Interrail map for 2025, but the planner doesn't show any connections. How can I check if trains are actually running there? Does anyone know?

I saved two trip with two different names for my up and coming visit to England. Without my consciously doing so, the app has linked the SECOND of these trip to my pass, even though the dates is obvious after the first trip. Will this be the one I get when I activate my pass? In which case I really have to start again otherwisew I’ll be out of synchronisation. (How) Can I do this? HEEELP

Hey everyone. My boyfriend and I are travelling from Paris to Hamburg 01/08/25 and I just got the last seat reservation, so he didnt get anyone. Does anyone have a spare that we could buy? Please help if you know someone

I cannot book seat reservations for an Inter Regio train in Romania. I need to travel to Ploiesti Sud to then go on the night train to Vienna and at first it showed that i can only book the seat 30 days before departure and then it changed to “No price results were found” and when i clicked on more it said to book in person at a main station in Europe and when i went there the lady had no idea of the pass, said that i need to give her something printed but she had no idea what, she didn’t want to see my pass or anything from my phone and then she just said that i can only buy the ticket at full price. I then found through another question that i can book it though MAV (https://jegy.mav.hu/) but it doesn’t work either. At the last step of selecting the seats for the train that stops in Ploiesti it says “Failed reservation”. Is there a way to book the seats online or like at all? 

Hi All, Have been learning a bit about travelling with a bike in a train in Germany. (Might help some others. And also others might have better solutions)I found this quite challenging: 1) Tried the Eurail app - this does not seem possible. 2) Tried the db Bahn app - but this seemed difficult to do without also purchasing a normal ticket as well.3) Tried ringing the db bahn.. And discovered a lot of the fast train (ICE) legs were already booked. 4) Decided to then use db bahn to filter a trip without fast trains.. which then allow bikes without reservations. It made the trip longer.. But possible! (I don't think there is a way in the Eurail app to filter out the fast trains.. So had to cross reference from the db bahn app) Now an travelling on the train.. But got in trouble because I was travelling before 9am on a regional train.. Around 60 Euro fine.. But thankfully my Australian accent + tourist ignorance saved the day!) The train lady then explained you also need a bicycle pass for

Hello I am new to this and have made two errors and cannot for the life of me work out how to fix. I have put my journeys on my pass for each day, but when I reserved the ACTUAL seats in first class on one leg I have put in the wrong date. When I try to change it is says it is non changable and non refundable. Do I just leave these and lose the money and rebook seats on the correct day and pay again or is there a way to change.  My husband, daughter and I all got 7 day in 1 month passes and I have started a booking for all three of us and we are all on the same trains for the first 4 - then our daughter goes off on her own with friends and is on different trains and destinations to us, but I mucked up and started the booking with all of us together and now need to seperate it so I can book the last three journeys seperately - but can’t work out if I can do this or if I have to start again. I have paid for seats on each of the four journeys I have booked so far in the one booking.Hope t
