In the summer we are going on a rail trip from London to Bergen.

Our final leg is Olso to Bergen where we will have 1 full day before flying home.

We trying to decide the best way to complete this journey.

Our first option is:

• Train from Oslo to Fläm.

• Nærøyfjord cruise to Gudvangen.

• Bus and train to Bergen via Voss.

Our other option is:

• Train Oslo to Bergen with a couple of hour stop in Geilo.

• The next day go on the mostraumen cruise.

From what I have seen the first option is more spectacular but also more expensive and it will make it a very long day.

Does anyone have any advice?

I’ve been planning a 2-3 week trip in Germany next summer. I’ve read that Germany is among the easier countries to be spontanious in. My question is:

How doable is it to do ”unplanned”? I have an idea of where I want to visit and how many days but I still wanna be able to be flexible.

Ideally when I visit in July, I want to have no trains booked, and no hostel/hotels booked.

Has anyone done this in Germany during the summer and how was your experience?

Typing on my phone sorry for the bad grammar or whatever, thanks for any answers in advance.

Our whole route is Amsterdam - 3 nights Berlin - 4 nights Prague - 4 nights Budapest - 4 nights Split - 5 nights Bled - 3 nights Venice / Milan- 2 nights Nice - 4 nights

We are having problems with trying to get to and from Venice or Milan as it’s only giving us routes going through Switzerland and around instead of directly through Italy. Is this due to Italian trains not being scheduled until closer to the time or what’s the story?

Also if you have any advice about the route please do tell (maybe we are spending too long in a certain place or just the route is too hard to do.) I’d also like to add we are all 20-21 males from Ireland. Thanks.

Hello dear Interrail travellers,

I am planning a trip to Greece this summer and would like to explore the islands.

Specifically, I would like to travel the following routes:

Athens - Mykonos
Mykonos - Santorini
Santorini - Heraklion

Can you tell me whether the Interrail Pass includes all the usual ferry companies or do I have to be very careful not to ‘pay twice’?

Many thanks for your help!

26/06 - Rome to Florence. 27/06 - Florence to Venice, Venice to Milan, Milan to Brig. 2/7- Bassels to Cologne. 3/7- Cologne to Amsterdam. 4/7- Amsterdam to Brussels, Brussels to France.

Eight train rides. From the website, it states that it'll cost me €324/pax. Wondering if puchasing tickets individually would be better.

Wanting to go on a trip in 2026! I think it would be so cool to go hiking to some of the destinations! I want to do most of it by train, and then hiking from city to city per country or just hiking in general! (I am not experienced..)

Is there anyone who would like to join me? Or does anyone know GOOD grouptrips that doesn’t make me broke?

About me, My name is Skye, in 2026 I’ll be 18! I love nature and cooking :)

HIT ME UPPPP:)))

Hi.

I thought, I'd share how to book a seat on the Leo express (runs from Prague to various destinations in Czech Republic and Slovakia). Seat reservations are always free with interrail. But I've encountered a problem when traveling with a child under 12. When you choose an adult and a child, the child's reservation suddenly costs money since you can add an interrail discount to the child.

I've talked to their costumer service and they told me to choose two adults and then book. Since it's free it doesn't matter if it's an adult or a kid that occupies the seat. As long as the pass numbers match.

Hope this saves some confusion for future families.

Edit: maybe add it to the wiki as well?

My family and I are planning to interrail for the first time this summer and was looking at going from Budapest to Prague. It's a long trip without a break and I was wondering if there was a sleeper train we could take? It's something we've wanted to try and this leg seems perfect if it was a thing. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

I'm planning to go hiking a few days somewhere in the pyrenees this spring.

Is there any good option to get there by (sleeper) train, starting in Amsterdam? Preferabele Andorra or east of Andorra.

hi, 19f looking to solo travel in early june. i haven’t looked into all the specifics yet, but my sort of preliminary plan is:

• take the eurostar from london > amsterdam
• 2 nights in amsterdam
• a day/ maybe 2 days in paris
• 4ish nights in nice with day trips to cannes, antibes, & monaco
• 2 nights in milan
• 2 nights in florence
• fly back from florence, potentially with an overnight layover in barcelona

is this realistic? is there anywhere i should add or need more time for? as i said, i haven’t looked into everything too extensively at this point just wondering if this is a good start to a plan :)

My boyfriend and I (24m,21f) are hoping to go travelling this summer once i finish uni in may and interrailing seems like the best option for us. Nothing is booked, im looking into the possibilities.

We’re on a pretty tight budget (no exact figure), so would like to keep the trip confined to the cheaper destinations.

We will be travelling from England.

1. prague (thinking of flying from gatwick)
2. krakow
3. budapest
4. zagreb
5. ljubljana
6. bled

seems the cheapest airport to fly home from is Rome, so maybe several nights in Rome after Bled? i know rome is not budget friendly but definitely somewhere i’ve dreamt of going so would not be opposed.

people who have travelled those areas of europe, are there any must see destinations or attractions?? feedback and suggestions so welcome!

Looking to plan an upcoming trip, I was wondering what most people do, if I was to stay in Hungary for 1 week, should I stay in 2,3,4 etc places within hungry or keep a base in let’s say Budapest for the whole time

Hi everyone,

Planning on going interrailing with my partner during mid June to early July this year.

We have the following route in mind : Milan (3 nights), Venice (2 nights) , Ljublana (2 nights) Vienna (3 nights) Budapest (2 nights) , Zagreb (2 nights), Split (2 nights) and Zadar (2 nights). We need to start in Milan and end in zadar due to the flights. I think we have 20 nights in total to stay so can add a few more in some places.

Does anyone have any advice? Wondering if Munich could fit in somewhere?

Also was thinking about including day trips to lake bled, Bratislava and maybe lake como or plitvice lakes.

Any suggestions/feedback would really be appreciated :)

Hey everyone,

I write you because maybe someone of you can give an advice. A friend of mine is supposed to travel tomorrow from Venice to Vienna taking the railjet at 09:56, but it has been cancelled and ÖBB only wrote that a replacement will be organised by Italian railways... Has anyone of you have been in a situation like this and knows what is the alternative?

Thanks in advance 🙏

Hey, i want to use the High-speed Train from Oslo to Stockholm. As this website says, there should be one running at 07:27. Arrival at Stockholm is 13:26. Do you think it's possible to reach the ferry at 16:45?

And if somebody know, when does the timetable for the 10.06.2025 will be available?
Love this comunnity, thank you in advance!

Hey I am 19 f and going to do interrail this summer July and August 9is there anybody hoiw wants to meet on the way I am traveling from Austria to Germany to France to Spain and Portugal if someone is interested write me I would appreciate if I am not alone the whole trip

I will book nightjet from Paris to Wien in April but there's notification about – timetable subject to change. I think the construction is already finished.

I know that there's notification that "The Nightjet train from Paris to Vienna was suspended from August 12 to October 25, 2024 due to construction work in France and Germany"

So, I wonder that it is just a notification (if any in the future), or it is already planned.

But if there is a plan, why they let us book the Nightjet with that notification.

Is anyone has an experinece in these few months.

Hi - I am planning a trip to Switzerland in late April. The base for my trip is going to be Interlaken and I plan to take the golden pass express from Interlaken to Montreux on one of the days. However, I also want to be able to spend some time in Montreux and Gstaad during the same day.

The first train from Interlaken is at 9:07 which reaches Montreux at 12:27 and I want to spend a couple of hours there. Then I plan to take the last golden pass express at 14:33 from Montreux to Gstaad and take a 2 hr pit stop at Gstaad.

Should I anticipate any challenges on the public transport front as it will be late in the evening by the time I leave from Gstaad to Interlaken. Cant see any direct connectivity on google maps at the moment.

I only have a day to cover the golden pass express, Montreux and Gstaad and want to make the most of it.

Please let me known if this is too ambitious and needs to trimmed down.

My wife, daughter and I are travelling to France for 4 weeks, and since we have our accommodations booked (Paris, Lyon, Antibes, Marseille, Avignon, Paris), we're starting to think about train tickets between our stays.

Here are the major train legs that have, and wondering if it makes sense to get a rail pass (5 day pass) or buy individual tickets? My daughter will be 9, and we're ~40 if that helps (possibly she will ride for free?).

• Paris to Lyon
• Lyon to Antibes
• Antibes to Marseille
• Marseille to Avignon
• Avignon to Paris

Does anyone have any insight? If the answer is a rail pass, is the process to buy the rail pass, and then head to the trains website and book seats?

Hi, Me and my friends are trying to plan an interrailing route for around 2.5 weeks from 9th June to the 25th.

We all have different places we want to go and are planning to go through the route below:

Amsterdam - 2 nights Brussels - 2 nights
Zurich - 2 nights Milan - 1 night Venice -2 nights Slovenia (Lake Bled) - 2 nights Zagreb - 1 night Split - 2 nights Dubrovnik - 2 nights

Is this route feasible to do in the time? Would there be any changes to this route anyone with experience would recommend??

Hi! This is my (22F) first time travelling solo and I have some doubts about my interrail itinerary. My idea is to start from Budapest and end in Lyon. This is a rough estimate of the lengths in each city:

• Bucarest (ROM): 2 days and 2 nights (night train to Bucarest)
• Budapest (HUN): 3 days and 2 nights
• Salzburg (AUS): 1 day and a half and 1 night
• Munich (GER): 2 days and 3 nights
• Interlaken (SWI): 1 day and a half and 2 nights
• Lyon (FRA): 2 days and 2 nights

I’m aware that almost every other day it’s travel day but I kind of wanna make the most of it. I’m hoping to make cultural tourism in Romania and Budapest, to make friends and go out in Budapest and in Munich and to hike and bike from Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen. Maybe I should add a day in Switzerland and remove Austria all together? I am not particullary interested in Lyon but it’s the closest to my home so I have to catch a train there. What should I change? I’m on a tight budget so I can’t extend much more in Switzerland but it is one of the places that I look forward to visiting the most.

Is it feasable, and would I find enjoyable? Advice needed!

Also, anyone from Spain know if I should wait for Verano Joven? I’ve seen that the 10 travel days pass was 50% off but were the other passes at a discount too?

Hello will be travelling in Europe May 14-23. I'd already booked a roundtrip ticket from Paris -> Brussels (91.07 CAD). I wont be staying in Brussels, will be staying in Bruges (May 14-16). From Bruges I will take the intercity t rain for a day trip to Ghent (22.58 CAD round trip Bruges -> Ghent). Then depart Bruges May 17 to train to Amsterdam for a one night stay (May 17-18). From Amsterdam, head back to Brussels to catch my returning train to Paris.

When in Paris, I plan on mostly staying in Paris with daytrips to Versailles and Lyon.

With all these train tickets, I was wondering if its worthing buying either a Eurail Global Pass (since I will need it for visiting Amsterdam and doing day trips in France-- total travel days: 3-4days) or just buying a One Country Pass for France when doing my day trips.

I have ADHD and planning and budgeting, figuring out all these numbers..not my strong suit. Was wondering what was the best most affordable option?

My rountrip train ticket from Paris-Brussels is non refundable so I am stuck there, cant get a refund hence why I decided to just explore Belgium. I made a mistake of booking and not looking carefully at details. Would really appreciate all the help I can get.

This is my first international trip so a bit overwhelmed, i ask for lots of grace thank you!

So I booked a night train and On my order conformation, it has my girlfriend and I's name. when I get the PDF ticket, it only gives me one ticket with my girlfriends name but two seats. Is this normal?

First of all, sorry for my poor english.

I thought that if I book a OBB Nightjet Sleeper cabin with the correct number of occupants, I would get the entire cabin. However, when two of us (an adult female and an adult male with a Eurail Pass discount) booked a Nightjet Sleeper 2-person (Double) cabin, it seems we were assigned in different cabins (Wagon number 401, Seat numbers 31 and 41).

After testing the booking process, partially applied Eurail Pass discount might have caused this issue. Could this really be due to the Eurail Pass discount? If so, how can we resolve this issue with the cabin assignment? I’ve already emailed OBB about the problem, but I’m looking for advice.

hello! i'm a solo female traveler visiting ljubljana in april for work, and planning to take a couple of personal days in budapest before going home. this will be my first time traveling in europe, so please excuse my lack of understanding! i'm looking at my options for traveling between the two cities, and would prefer to travel via train with as few connections as possible, but i will be traveling on april 19, and it seems that the direct train from ljubljana to budapest does not run on saturdays? maybe?

i've looked at a couple of different booking websites, but am struggling to get a clear idea of what the next simplest journey option would be, as well as whether i can book a legitimate ticket online + this far in advance. can anyone recommend an available rail route on a saturday, and/or what site i should purchase a ticket from and when?

any advice on any part of my question is greatly appreciated - luckily i have ample time to figure this out!

I'm planning a trip to see as much of Italy as possible in 16 days. The trip will be in March of 2025, and I would like advice on getting around Italy, both intercity and local.

I have checked out the Eurail pass, and it may not be for me due to the reservation costs in trains. Is the best option to book tickets in advance via Trenitalia?

Does the Trenitalia pass include reservation costs on all trains?

Here is my itinerary:

Me and my friends are planning to go from Brussels- Luxembourg - Munich- Vienna- Ljubljana - Rijeka - Zagreb. This is over a 2 week span was wondering if any experienced travellers would advise how to distribute the time between these days and/or if any small changes should be made to the route.

does anyone know how i can get from patras to athens. open to any changes but i can’t find it anywhere
