I just wanted to let everyone know that there was a landslide in Norway that affected the rail corridor between Trondheim and Steinkjer, which includes the F7 route to Bodø and Lofoten. The highway is also blocked, so it's unclear how the replacement service will run and how long the disruption will last. If you have any specific information about this, please comment below.

Hey i am Tarik 18M from Turkey and just travelling stockholm by myself with my interrail pass.Anyone in stockholm wanna have beer or coffe? I am here until 3rd of september.

Hello, I'm traveling from Ljubljana to Verona by train. The schedule says that a supplement is required for the Italy Pass, but have a Eurail Pass. Do also need to buy the supplement, or is this just an issue with the app? If do need the supplement, can purchase it on the train? Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’m planning an Interrail trip for October 2025 and I’m a bit unsure if I’ve added too many days in each city. I really don’t want to feel like I’m stuck too long in one place if it’s unnecessary, but I also don’t want to rush it.

Here’s my current plan: • Berlin – 5 nights • Prague – 5 nights • Krakow – 4 nights • Budapest – 4 nights • Vienna – 4 nights

Do you think this is a good balance, or are some stays too long? If you were me, would you cut a night or two from any of these cities to add another destination?

Any feedback from people who have done a similar route would be super helpful!

Thanks 🙌

I'll be going on vacation for the second half of September and I plan to backpack around central Europe. In an effort to make the most of the trip, I've planned out roughly where I'd like to go below. I'm looking for feedback since I've never been on a train trip this long. Any suggestions or advice are appreciated!

Hi! I'll be traveling from Stockholm to Abisko in a few days, but the only train at my disposal has a 22 minutes change in Boden. So this raises the question: do trains wait in case of delay? Worst case scenario, what should I expect to happen?

Thank you for the help!

Hi! I'm looking to travel from Copenhagen to Stockholm on the 22nd of December but upon checking SJ, there are no available tickets yet.

From what I've seen so far they release winter tickets around November on a specific date. I'm just wondering if trains are operational on the 22nd and on the week of Christmas as well!

Hey Guys, I need a specific help. I have bought tickets for the InterCity Notte and we we're running over two hours late. Now I want to get my 50% refund, but I have no clue we're and how to request ist. Also the website of Trenitalia don't help me at all. Had anyone in this community done this bevore and could Help me?

Hi all,

Wife and I are starting next month, we're flying out to Sweden to start with eventually back to the UK via Eurostar in November.

On my account I've bought our 2 passes (15 travel days in 2 months). Reading seat61 it's possible for us to have the app on each of our phones and load our respective passes, or, to load both into the app on one phone and use that for both of us.

As we will always be travelling together any advice on which of those two scenarios is preferable?

Also, when we need to, how do we book seat reservations so we are sat together? Do we need to do this via the train companies? Daughter and friend went interrailing in the summer and because they had separate passes and booked reservations in the interrail app separately (but at the same time) they usually ended up not seated next to each other.

TIA.

Me and a friend (21 years) want to do a interrail route. We’re thinking of these cities: Krakow, Prague, Budapest, Berlin, and Split. Is there another city that we MUST go to (or a city that we dont need to go)? We are both social guys who love making friends and party. Thankyou

TL;DR

Trip to France (up to 1 Week) and Scotland (1 Week) Planned Timeframe: 30.03.26-11.04.26 Wishes for trip: Lots of nature, quiet places.

France Planned Place to visit: Boulogne-Sur-Mer/Regional Nature Park of the Opal Capes and Marshes (Other recommendations/places to visit in the vicinity are extremely appreciated)

Scotland Currently Planned Place to visit: Cairngorms National Park (NEED recommendation on place to stay)

Questions First time travelling with Interrail: Any pointers on what to do, how to use the app, guides, planning? When do train bookings for Spring 2026 usually start? Any places near my chosen route that you would recommend visiting?

Hi everyone,

I won an Interrail Global Pass in a raffle in May this year and have been planning on what I wanted to do with it ever since. It's thankfully valid for an entire year as I've had extreme difficulties thinking what I wanted to do but I pinned it down on wanting to visit two friends of mine, one visiting in the North of France and the other one in Scotland.

Beyond visiting them I also wanted to see a lot of nature. My last holiday was 100% city-based and I'd really like to see some big national parks, lots of nature and peaceful areas. While France was relatively easy to figure out, I'm having lots of trouble with plans for the UK, as for the time I'm planning (30.3.26-11.04.26) trains aren't ready to be booked yet and I would like to know when the soonest availability for them would potentially start.

This is also my first time travelling pretty much on my own and also the biggest trip I've planned PLUS the first time I've ever used Interrail. I would love any pointers and guides (I've spent the last hour checking through the sidebar) you might share about how to efficiently use it.

Thanks for reading and for helping out. If you guys have any more questions or if anything is unclear/I left something out, please do tell.

Hi redditors! I have a question regarding the following scenario. I'm traveling overnight from Stockholm to Hamburg using my inbound travel day (outbound has already been used). Can I continue my journey from Hamburg to another city in Germany on that same day. The clause mentioning homebound travel days states that the rules for overnight trains apply but doesn't go into detail at all so I wanted to ask here to be sure. Thanks in advance

Hello everybody
I arrived from Munich in Paris with an 3 hours delay. Missed the train to Barcelona and had to stay overnight in Paris with courtesy of SNCF. Plan was to stay overnight in Barcelona and take the train to Sevilla next day at 8:30 or such. But as we arrived next day in Barcelona at 14:00 of course we also missed the train to sevilla.
At that day there were no more trains to sevilla so I took a train to Madrid and stayed there one more night that was not planned. Next day then I took the train to Sevilla, from Sevilla I took the Bus to Faro. The Bus tickets were also payed for one day before.

So the 3 hours delay on the first train let me miss the train to barcelona, the train to sevilla and the bus to faro and had to stay one night more in madrid.
The costs for that delay summed up to about 500€ (travelling as family). Eurail is refunding 212€ only. Basically a delay compesantion and reimbursement for reservations to barcelona on the new train. But all costs after Barcelona they are saying they will not refund.

Is this ok? Does anyone have a similar experience and was able to get all costs refunded? I´m happy having 212€ back but feel like they should minimal also refund the extra reservations I had to pay for barcelona - ,madrid, madrid - sevilla and refund the lost reservations barcelona - sevilla. Basically refund all railway related costs...

Any suggestion? :)

So I am currently on a fishing boat in Alaska planning on being done around October 31st, and I start school on January 17th. I am used to being super busy with absolutely no turn around time, so don’t be alarmed, I know I have a pretty optimistic trip in the works. I fly into Lisbon on the 5th of November, I bought a 2 month nonstop eurail pass, so here is my route plan:

start Lisbon, Porto, Madrid, Barcelona, Geneva, Interlaken, Zurich, Munich, Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, krakow, Warsaw, Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn, ferry to Helsinki, ferry to Stockholm, rent a car and road trip Norway, fly to Paris for my birthday (dec 20) Copenhagen for Christmas, and Berlin for new years.

I understand that going at a slower pace and staying 4-5-6 days per city would be much more enjoyable. I have done other trips at much slower paces. (My last trip was 3 months in one country) But my goal for this trip is to travel light and move fast, see as much as I possibly can, learn about each of the countries and cultures I visit, but not dwell in them.

I plan to come back later in life and visit these countries and do more like 2-3 weeks for 1-2 countries.

I am looking for advice on anything along my path that I should make sure not to miss. Any castles or cathedrals? Huge cliffs with stunning views? (Shorter) hikes to die for?

I plan on doing some guided tours to sights like the D-day beaches, holocaust camps, culture tours, and things of that nature so I would love recommendations for that. I’m not big into spending a bunch of money on tours that you can go do or see for free, but I believe that some things are a much better when you pay for an experience.

Am I overlooking anything? I know a lot of people will tell me to slow down, which I very well may change up once I get there depending on how I’m feeling. Thoughts?

For the last 25 days a friend and I have been traveling through europe with the global pass and we've consistently been running into a problem. When we load a train ticket in the evenning and then take the train through the night the train ticket wont load again in the morning, so we then have no ticket.

Were both currently stuck in breclav beeing asked for tickets that we could load in vienna but are now unaccesable. This is extremly frustraing.

This if my first time going to Europe with my SO. We have about 50 days and I would love some feedback on the route i’ve planned so far. This is all a bit last minute so the route has kind of been thrown together.

Start in London September 25th, 4 nights

London>Paris, 4 nights

Paris>Brussels, 2 nights

Brussels>Amsterdam, 4 nights

Amsterdam>Berlin, 3 nights

Berlin>Prague, 3 nights

Prague>Vienna, 3 nights

Vienna>Budapest, 3 nights

Budapest>Bled 2 nights (Day trip to Ljubljana)

Bled>Venice, 3 nights

Venice>Zurich, 2 nights

Zurich>Interlaken, 4 nights

Interlaken>Nice, 3 nights

Nice>Avignon, 3 nights

Avignon>Carcassonne, 2 nights

Carcassonne>Barcelona, 3 nights

From Barcelona we are hopping on a cruise that takes us to Florence, Rome, and Lisbon and then back to NY.

Too many stops? Places we should add or decrease a night? Any and all feedback is welcomed, thank you!

I'm currently in Ostrava and tomorrow morning i'll take a train to Zilina

The rail planner says the train (Ceske Drahy FT345) requires a reservation unless I stop at Cadca and do Cadca-Zilina with a regional

I tried looking up the train on the CD website and I can't find any info about reservations

https://www.cd.cz/en/vlak/345/31.8.2025/5434434/9.46/5617915/11.26/

Do you hace any experience with this route?

Hello,

I am flying to Berlin from Canada on Dec. 17, then I plan to take the ICE to Hamburg on Dec. 19, and from Hamburg I need to get to Milan by Dec. 21 - normally I would've taken a flight, which most people would probably recommend, but being a train enthusiast living in Canada where trains really suck I would love to try to complete this Hamburg-Milan journey on rail. I almost booked a Eurowings flight but now brainstorming about taking öbb nightjet from Hamburg to Zurich, then whatever direct train available from Zurich to Milano Centrale, what do you think about this option? To that I also have a few questions:

1. According to DB I can't book any of these tickets right now (even ICE from Berlin to HH) because the schedules for mid-December will be released on October sometime - is this true also for sbb/öbb/trenitalia?
2. On the nightjet site I chose the first Saturday of December just as a test to gauge how much the overnight train would cost me, and I am seeing options for "Miniabteil" which I've never heard of before, as well as the option for 4/6 couchette/liegewagen. Has anyone ever tried this "Miniabteil", do you recommend it? I'm a solo female traveller so at the moment this new offer sounds enticing to me, as the private sleeper wagons are out of budget for me and couchettes don't really offer privacy. Also, if you have been on this new ish configuration do you recommend top or bottom, or it doesn't really matter?
3. From Zurich to Milano Centrale which website should I choose to book this separate ticket online, SBB, Trenitalia, somewhere else or does it not matter? I wonder if there something similar to DB Sparpreis angebot where if you book in advance you can find high speed tickets at discounted prices.. I am familiar with booking tickets on DB site but beyond that not much.
4. I was looking at the timetable for Hamburg -Zurich and noticed that the train arrives in Basel SBB at 8:10, then Zurich at 10:05. Just curious, is there a break in Basel, or does it really take 2 hours from Basel to Zurich?

Thanks in advance for your help!

From the UK travelling in October. I''m planning my route, looking to fly into Milan and work my way across and up central European countries to Berlin. Then I'm stuck in whether I should make full use of the interail pass and go Berlin -> Amsterdam -> Bruge -> london or whether I should just buy a flight back from Berlin. I'm not to fussed on Amsterdam or Bruge and I've heard the train from Berlin to Amsterdam can be rough? This would give me more days to enjoy the other countries im visiting already in a packed itinerary (Italy, switzerland, austria, maybe slovenia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Germnay) although the flight will add to the costs. Interested to hear if ananyone'done anything similar / has any recommendations.

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a trip to the Balkans in February 2026. I’m a big public transport enthusiast, so besides regular sightseeing, one of my main goals is to photograph buses, trams, trains, and so on. One of the reasons I chose the Balkans is because you can still find many classic vehicles here that have already disappeared in countries like Germany.

The “red route”:

15Feb - Athens

16Feb - Athens (or Patras)

17Feb - Athens

17Feb - (Flight)

18Feb - Sofia

19Feb - Sofia

20Feb - Skopje

21Feb - Skopje

22Feb - Prishtina

23Feb - Prishtina (or Prizren)

24Feb - Tirana

25Feb - Tirana (or Ohrid)

26Feb - Tirana

Red route will be with a friend. We’re planning about two days per city. One concern I have is weekends — I don’t know if North Macedonia and Kosovo are also relatively quiet like many other European countries, with fewer buses on the road. I’m worried that I might miss some of the vehicles I want to photograph if service is reduced on weekends.

If two days in Prishtina feels like too much, we might switch one day to Prizren. But since we’ll both have a backpack plus a 20-inch suitcase, moving around like that might be a bit inconvenient.

After that, my route is not yet finalized. I generally avoid long bus rides over 5 hours (because of toilets), which is why I didn’t include Sarajevo.

The “purple route”

26Feb - (Flight)

27Feb - Treviso

28Feb - Venice

01Mar - Trieste

02Mar - Ljubljana

03Mar - Graz

04Mar - Vienna

05Mar - Vienna

06Mar - Budapest

07Mar - Budapest

The purple route pretty close to my friend's route. The tricky part is Ljubljana. Some of the older buses there only seem to run on weekdays. So my friend’s plan is: fly into Venice Wednesday evening → Treviso Thursday → Ljubljana Friday → then back to Venice and Trieste for the weekend, before continuing on to Austria on Monday. Personally, I find this a bit awkward.

My idea would be: Venice and Trieste on the weekend, Ljubljana on Monday. But that leaves Thursday and Friday open — so I need somewhere to go. Options I’m considering: Ohrid in North Macedonia, or somewhere in Italy. The issue is I already went to Bologna and Verona earlier this year, and Vienna and Budapest as well (though only for 3 days each, so maybe I still have more to see). Any other suggestions?

----

The “green route”

27Feb - Shkoder

28Feb - Podgorica

28Feb - (Night Train)

01Mar - Belgrade

02Mar - Belgrade

03Mar - Novi Sad

04Mar - Subotica

05Mar - Szeged

06Mar - Budapest

07Mar - Budapest

I noticed there’s a direct overnight train from Podgorica to Belgrade, which sounds interesting. But I do have some concerns — Montenegro and Serbia are less developed than Italy, so I’m not sure if I might face issues like unreliable bus timetables, the connection from Novi Sad to Szeged, or general safety while traveling with luggage on my own. I’m also unsure about the practical side of the train itself: It looks like you can not buy the ticket online. I'm not sure if it will sell out., and how can I keep my belongings safe while I’m asleep on board?

I’d love to hear your advice and suggestions. Thanks a lot!

Getting on a nightjet train tonight our of Amsterdam Cental (headed to Basel) with my wife. Nightjet seems to just issue one ticket for two people. Question is how do I get through the turnstiles to get on the playform with just one ticket? Do I just scan it twice or do I need to get some assistance from OBB? Seems like a weird oversight.

Hi!

So i read the luggage restriction for all tgv from france going to spain will be:

• (sncf website) 2 pieces of luggage/person with dimension of 70 x 90 x 50 cm + 1 hand luggage with dimension of 40 x 30 x 15 cm

• (some bloggers and google search basically) 3 pieces of luggage with dimension of 85 x 55 x 35 and a total weight of 25 kg.

Im gonna move from paris to barcelona and obviously my total luggage will exceed 25 kg. BUT i can break it into one 18 inch luggage (will put super light matters here), one cabin luggage (will be heavy but not up to 25 kg), and one backpack (for others like gadget etc).

Do you guys have any tips on this luggage restriction things? Is the luggage checking really that thight witb train from paris or is it the matter that there is no enough luggage space in the train? My very last resort would be by sending the biggest luggage from paris and it will bleed out around €120.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

So I need to go to Zaragoza and come back, and I am not allowed to use ANY planes. I thought InterRail might work. Any ideas on the route? BTW, I need to be in Zaragoza on the 27th of September, and I will be leaving Zaragoza on the 2nd of October

Hi everyone! I’m going to be on exchange in Amsterdam for 2.5 months (October-December) and would ideally like to make trips on weekends around Europe (Germany, Switzerland, northern Italy (Dolomites), Ireland, Scotland, etc.). I’m trying to decide if Eurail would be worth it for these types of trips? I’ve seen some mixed opinions and haven’t travelled in Europe before so wanted to get other opinions!

Also taking any travel location recommendations! Thanks in advance:)
