Travelling by train

Hello. I’ve never used an interrail pass before and wondered if anyone could offer any advice. We’d like to go for a week/nine days at the end of May, travelling from the UK, hopefully ending somewhere in Italy, before taking a different route home. Is this an okay length of time for a trip of that sort? Does anyone have any recommendations regarding itinerary? All advice gratefully received!! 

Hello :)I would like to ask you if someone was in Lapland (Rovaniemi) and attended a aurora hunt tour. Is it possible to do it by yourself (like to go the places by yourself?). Moreover, if someone attended a tour which would you recommend and what was the best and worst experience of it? 

Hello :) I would like to ask you if someone had made any experiences with skiing in Lapland (Levi or in other places).Actually, you can book a daily tour to go to the ski area, but I would like to know if it is possible to go and do it by yourself because the tours are a little bit too expensive. Any advice would be helpful (costs, transport, etc.).

Hi,As I can’t view seat avaliablity before buying a 2 month pass, how likely is it that I will miss out on seats in July If I purchase a pass now? I am travelling through Spain, France, Switzerland and Norway. Many thanks for any help  

Hi. I'd like to travel from London to Athens by train. I will have two weeks at the end of March/beginning of April this year. I could fly back to the UK if necessary, but would prefer to do the whole journey overland. Any advice gratefully received...many thanks

Hello! This is my first time using Eurorail and travelling on Europe’s trains (I usually take planes) and just wanted to make sure that I have got everything right for my trip. Tomorrow I am taking the train from Amsterdam to Berlin. We have activated our card and bought our seats even though it said it was only recommended.Do I just show the QR code that it shows in my pass for the day?How long should we get there before the train leaves?Is there any customs? I have the photos of our eurorail stuff here, is this all correct? I found the site and seat reservations a bit confusing.  

A first timer here on using Interrail passes. I will be using a first class pass. I am going to travel from Hamburg to Venice with my family and we will use the Brenner route, traveling from Munich. I read that there was a supplement fee that you had to pay if you entered Italy from Austria. I bought my tickets through the ÖBB website, but I mistakenly booked them using the “Seat reservation only” option. I can’t get my tickets refunded, and I am worried that the ticket could be refused.I was wondering if it was possible to pay the supplement fee by local means instead. Can you speak to a staff member in Munich or on the train if you want to pay it there? If so how do we do this?

I am think I am might be really confused or doing this wrong. I purchased a 5 Day Global for one month. I have started to reserve the trips - Amsterdam to Antwerp, Brugge to Paris, Paris to Amsterdam. It looks like I could have gotten all of the tickets for $213 US by just buying them directly. Or, am I doing the reservation system wrong? So what is the benefit of the pass? 

I will be there in October.  Right now scheduled to fly home from Verona. Would prefer to fly home from Venice.  What are the fastest choices to travel from Verona via train to Venice?

We will be traveling from Sicily, through Florence to Lake Garda and eventually up to Paris with our mountain bikes.  They are expensive and I do not feel comfortable leaving them in the luggage area.  If we booked a family sleeper car, could we bring the bikes into the room?  Thanks, karen

Hello,We will have a car and climbing / bouldering in Fontainebleau. Then I need to get to Munich by train. I have 2 days to get to Munich were we fly back to NZ. I can do a one-way car drop off (not expensive either) in Southern France. I was thinking about Dijon, but not sure.Then take a Train to Munich- but I can’t seem to find a route.OR, I could return the car to Paris - but that feels like back tracking.  I read an article about a sleeper / couchettes from Paris to Munich but I can’t find that either.Question: How would get from France to Munich? Could I go Dijon to Zurich to Munich? Thank you!

I’m finding the app. / website is very confusing to use. Our initial international trip is London to Amsterdam and the app. has defaulted to that being an outward journey but first we need to get from home to London which is an entirely UK based trip … which I don’t appear to be able to book. How do I do this? We won’t need a reservation for the journey so is it okay to just turn up and show our pass QR code, i.e. does every train just accept that as a valid ticket when no reservation is required?

We will be based in Florence, Italy for 14 days and want to go to a few other cities for a day or two. Thinking about Vienna, Venice and Paris or Munich.  We want to know the best way to get to them by train. 

I'm planning an Interrail trip and would like to visit the following cities:Sofia (Bulgaria) Skopje (North-Macedonia) Mojkovac (Montenegro) Belgrade (Serbia) Budapest (Hungary) Bratislava (Slovakia) Prague (Czech Replubic) Final Destination, home (The Netherlands)However, when I use the Interrail website to plan my route, it says that it is not possible to travel between these cities by train. I'm wondering if there are any other train routes that I might have missed, or that someone else knows a better way to travel?

I already travel fromZermatt to St. Moritz.Now I want to go from St. Moritz to Luzern.…What is the best way?And the fast one?Thanks a lot.

Boa tarde!Gostaria de saber como identifico o ticket para embarcar em percursos dentro da  cidade que estou, por exemplo.Estação Paris gare - Choisy Le RóiPreciso fazer várias vezes esse percurso, além de precisar ir para os pontos turísticos de Paris.Eu não sei onde pego aquele QR Code para andar nos trens, se não há reserva paga. Outra questão é em relação aos dias que seleciono para usar os ticket, por exemplo Eu comprei o passe para 10 dias durante 2 meses. Então só posso usar os trens no dia que eu registrar um dos 10 dias?

I am a first time Eurail rider. I am looking to go from Paris to Zurich in mid to late June and nothing is available. Is there some kind of event or shutdown going on during this period? The train scheduler wants to send me north to Brussels then across to Germany and down to Zurich, it is like an extra 4 hours.

Hi everyone, extremely knew to the concept of interrailing, heard of it but never considered it a viable option. My intention would be to travel with my bike in tow, it’s only a small BMX bike.  i’ve seen in the FAQ’s that it is at the discretion of the rail companies as to whether they alllow travel with bikes, but was curious to ask in here if anyone had any first hand experience? i assume travelling with a bicycle ain’t hugely unusual and i am hopeful i will be able to make it work on my travels this summer. Thanks in advance,Chaz

Hi!I’m going to take a ferry to Igoumenista next week. Then I want to explore Greece, does anybody have done that? I know there is no train station in the area, but there is a lot of buses, so maybe I can travel by bus for the beginning.

Hi people. I want to know if in the passes include the night sleeper trains.
