Hola tengo reservado un trayecto de tirano a St. Mortiz en el bernina express, el problema es que desde hace 2 semanas estoy buscando trenes de Milán a Tirano para el día 23 de diciembre, pero no encuentro ninguna poción disponible para esas fechas

In a week, I will be travelling from Amsterdam Central to Berlin. How can I quickly see what numbers the cars have and what can I do to prepare, so that I do not have to run on the platform alongside the train frantically looking for the right car? Last month, I traveled by train for the first time and ended up boarding the wrong car, resulting in standing all the way to the next stop to quickly race to the right car. Since I travel first class and have seat reservations, boarding at tje right spot is important. Any tips?

I am currently stressing to make my wish come true and travel to Northern Europe in winter. I only have a week time after Christmas. I am quite young and just finished my first DiscoverEu interrail this year. I am having problems with the timetables on the interrail website as they aren't updated for the Christmas week yet. It will take me almost a whole day to get to the Southern parts of Sweden or Denmark so flying would actually be a lot faster. I am however on a budget and want to be more flexible and mobile and therefore rather take a interrail ticket which I have some experience with. I can't seem to find reliable information as to when the timetables are updated and I would like to get going with the planning of my exact route. Can I just look at timetables from other providers?

I also want to ask if there is any way to find travel groups like with DiscoverEu if I already used my ticket.

I would also really appreciate travel advice for my itinerary. As I said I have to plan 2 days for arrival and departure to Southern sweden. So I only have about 5 days to really experience Scandinavia. I would love to see some of it's winter magic in nature and relax in a sauna maybe. I had the plan to use a ferry and get to the Baltics from Sweden, but it's quite expensive too. I guess there is no way for me to see the northern lights?

Hi there,

My boyfriend and I plan on traveling from Prague to Krakow on December 10th (mid-day) and from Krakow to Warsaw on December 14th (early-ish), we're flying out of Warsaw at 4:50pm.

What is the best website to book these on and ideally with direct trains. Sorry I'm an American (but I DIDN'T vote for trump).

Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!

My family and I are planning on taking a trip to Europe and we plan on going between different cities and countries via train. I heard of Eurail and I've been doing my research and it seems great. I've also been calculating the cost of buying individual train tickets for each leg of our trip and stacking it up against the Eurail pass cost and, it is several times more expensive to book everything individually compared to just getting the Eurail pass.

That being said, what's the catch? I feel like with how cheap it is and how convenient it seems, a Eurail pass just sounds too good to be true. So what's the catch if any? Does Eurail truly cover all the railway across Europe? What can and can't I do with this pass?

Thanks in advance :)

Hoping to go interailing for 14-17 days in April. Was wondering how long is enough time in each of these places: Paris -> Amsterdam -> Prague -> Vienna -> Bled -> Venice

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to bounce my idea off of this sub and see if my plan is realistic. I was originally looking into digital nomad visas but all the criteria is giving me a headache. I have two lovely cats who live w me--is it possible to do schengen for 3 months--leave schengen for 3 months and back again for a year while traveling through those areas by train w my two cats? I'm trying to avoid flying them around Europe every 3 months as I'd have to buy two plane tickets to keep them in the cabin with me everytime.

Thank you

Hi there! I'm planning a trip and could use some advice. I'll be in Amsterdam from November 12th for two days, and after that, I have four days (November 15th-18th) for a short getaway. I have two options and would love your opinion:

Option 1: Traveling through Belgium (maybe Brussels and Bruges) and then on to Paris. I'd explore these cities by train.

Option 2: Going to Switzerland, perhaps to Zurich or Geneva, and taking in the natural beauty there.

I need to be back in Amsterdam by the morning of November 19th. Also, since I'm new to train travel in Europe, any tips on navigating the train systems would be greatly appreciated. What do you think?"

Hello all,

I'm travelling between Lecco and Tirano, the part of the journey between Morbegno and Tirano is rail replacement.

I have added this journey to my rail planner app, and it's listed as a bus with a specific number. On checking Trenord the timetable is showing as requiring two buses to make the full journey, with two different bus numbers. Should I add these manually to my pass and activate them for travel?

Hello,

I’ll be taking glacier express in Switzerland, then I’ll be traveling from Zermatt to Interlaken to Colmar(France) and to Paris.

Should I take Rail Pass, will it be cheaper or should I just take regular tickets?

So as part of an interrail trip i spent about 9 days in sicily recently. I'd potentially like to go back next summer as its somewhere i'd like to explore the island in a much slower way.

Although looking on the map of the island there seem to be a trainline between Noto and Siracusa I'm not sure how operrational this line is.

For instance if i search in the app there currently seems to be travel between these two cities but only by bus. There are lots of smaller stations between Siracusa and Noto e.g. Fontane Bianche which show up in the app but you don't seem to be able to travel from them

Does anyone know if this line is a) a summer only line b) permanently closed c) undergoing repairs d) not available to interrail users ?

Does anyone have an Zugfinder account, and would be willing to look up actually departures and arrivals for me? 😀

I’ve booked Nightjet tickets (with Eurail passes) for a sleeper cabin for me and my family for Budapest to Zurich. English is my main language and I’m very confused with the tickets/reservation. Do I just show the ÖBB QR Code or do I still have to create the QR ticket from the Eurail app? I’m quite anxious as the trip itself doesn’t show up on Eurail and I’ve had to input it manually. Would appreciate any leads as the trip is upcoming!!! 😭

I travelled in an ICE DB train from Paris to Stuttgart. I have an Eurail pass for the trains. In the rail planner app, it showed I needed an additional seat reservation for this journey which I did through the DB app.

Now, even with the pass and the seat reservation, the Sncf agent claimed that it is not valid as the seat reservation through DB app is only valid within Germany and not for international travel. I was fined 35 euros for this.

Now, I tried to search cannot find anywhere that the DB reservation is invalid for this. Did I get scammed? If yes, is there anyway I can dispute the fine and get a refund?

Edit: I went to the DB office at one of their stations and got a refund of €5.2 (the amount paid for the reservation through DB app)

I also sent a mail to SNCF but they replied that they cannot do anything about this issue.

Hi everyone,

I just made a booking few minutes ago on Nightjet from Zurich HB to Vienna Hbf, but I actually meant to book a ticket from Zurich to Budapest-Keleti instead. Here are the details of my current booking:

• Current Route: Zurich HB to Vienna Hbf
• Date and Time: Departing Zurich HB on Thu, Dec 26, 2024, at 21:40 and arriving in Vienna Hbf on Fri, Dec 27, 2024, at 07:58
• Train Number: Nightjet EN 40467
• Ticket Type: Couchette carriage - Sparschiene Comfort incl. Reservation

Intended Route: I wanted to book a ticket from Zurich HB to Budapest-Keleti on Tue, Dec 24, 2024, departing at 21:40 and arriving at 09:19 on Dec 25, also on EN 40467.

Does anyone know if Nightjet offers a way to cancel or modify a ticket for cases like this, especially if it was just booked? I haven’t been able to find clear instructions on their website. Any advice on whom to contact or how to handle this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello everyone.

I booked 4 trips with regiojet (actually 2 but back and forth tickets), and when I was booking them on the RegioJet's app on my phone.

I chose the seats each time myself. I always chose one of those single seats in the configuration "[seat] [seat] [aisle] [seat]".

However all my four trips got their seats changed in the last minute with "a comparable type of seat" which was in fact just the regular 2 seats on each side of the aisle.

So, I am thinking that they use bait and switch (sell something and deliver something else)? Or maybe they resell the tickets at a higher price and if someone buys it you're out of that seat.

Maybe I'm being conspiratorial, but wanted to share and ask if someone knows more?

Thank you very much if you will answer me.

hey, I've decided to go interrailing at Christmas this year my rough route is hamburg,Berlin,krakow,budapest,bratislava, vienna,prague.. in krakow Christmas day and vienna new years eve.. just looking for suggestions on things yo do something a little different maybe.. cheers

My italian passport expired and my documentation is not even an italian ID because i live in Spain, and here european citizens have this piece of paper called NIE instead of a normal DNI (ID). Would it be possible to still travel in january at my own risks? or would I be kicked off any train I set foot on, no exceptions?

this is what the interrail website says about travel documentation. I was wondering what do u guys think it would happen if i try traveling with my NIE and my expired passport which expired more than 6 months ago but maybe having those 2 would be enough to prove them im european. Have u guys been asked for ur documentation a lot of times?

Thank u in advance

Hi all, how do I buy a supplement for the train from Amsterdam to Brussels? I’ve tried looking but it’s wanting me to purchase a full ticket. TIA

I am currently trying to get to Krakow on Monday 11th from Ceska Trebova and the inter rail app says I require a seat reservation but Rail Europe says I do not. I have tried to book a reservation through the Czech website, but I am unable to do so. I have not had this issue before, so I am confused.

Does anyone know which is correct, and if I need a reservation what should I do?

Hello everyone!

My boyfriend and I are planning for a trip to Europe in June next year (for roughly 3 weeks). We have never been to Europe before so hoping to get some opinions on our travel plans.

It would be great to get some recommendations for transportation (trains, flights, etc.) as it is quite confusing to navigate through what is more time-efficient and convenient. We are planning to get the Europass, likely the 10 days within 2 months option however, not sure if it is 100% worth the money either

If you have any favourite spots or must-dos in these cities, feel free to share!

We will fly out from Melbourne and land in Edinburgh (Have not fully decided whether we will land in London and then fly out or catch the train to Edinburgh - pending how many trips we have to make the entire trip and whether we get the Eurail pass or not)

Draft Itinerary:

1. Edinburgh (3 days); Train/Fly to London
2. London (4 days); Train to Paris
3. Paris (4 days); Train to Switzerland
4. Switzerland (2 days); Train to Vienna
5. Vienna (2 days); Train to Bratislava
6. Bratislava (2 days); Train to Krakow
7. Krakow (2 days); Train to Warsaw
8. Warsaw (1 day); Train to Berlin
9. Berlin (3 days); Fly back to Melbourne

Thank you so much in advance for any help you can provide!

I am thinking of planning an interrailing trip for a few weeks from March going into April. Does anyone have any advice on nice places to visit over these months? I am thinking of flying to Berlin, then travelling down towards Italy through Austria and Switzerland then around Slovenia and Croatia.

I'm planning on travelling southern europe (portugal, spain, northern italy) in march and april.

What type of clothes should I bring? What can I expect the weather to be like?

Thanks

I’m trying to book a high speed train to milan and it is providing me 3 options what is the difference between priority vs normal 2nd class?

Thanks in advance.

My family of 4 (myself, husband, 4yr, 6yr) need to take a train from Amsterdam to Poznan (preferably) or Warsaw on Dec.19. However, once I type in our names for booking it never actually lets me pay! I always get an error or that the train is booked depending on the website! I need help, this is stressing me out!

A very minor detail/factor but i'm going to get a new phone before I go off on my adventures. My iPhone 12 is about to bite the bullet I think, screen is about dead and battery also (intensely used). What phones have people used for a prolonged interrailing trip? Preferably experience with the 13 Pro Max, 14 or 15 as I'm wanting to stick to iOS.
