Good trip ideas starting from Copenhagen

I would highly appreciate it if people could suggest trip ideas for a month (10 or 15 travel days) starting from Copenhagen. It can end in any country that’s fine but gotta make sure the country that’s at the end of the trip has a flight back. I would love it as a community to pitch in some ideas and maybe this could be used as a reference for people to look at without spending time deciding how long each train takes to avoid missing travel days.

Different types of seat reservations - nighttrain

Hi i have a question, I'm new here. I want to book a seat reservation a night train. In the app it says that different types of seat reservations are available, for example bed in shared compartment is available for 37 euro. However when I  go to the booking site to book it, I only see normal 2 cl seats as an option, but I want to book a bed. Where do I see all options, and how do I book the bed options? Thank you..(I'm stressed)

Guys, I wanted to know if it is mandatory to do the day of travel in and out of your country during the 7 days of travel. Are they optional? Can I use those days directly outside the my country

Planning my first interrail trip

HiI've been looking into the possibility of interrailing around Germany with my 8 y o daughter this summer. I would like to plan a bit before I buy the Pass and see whether it's a good idea but I am experiencing difficulties figuring out prices and booking etc.I think I would need a one country pass for Germany. I've understood I could also travel on a night train from Italy, but the app planner does not offer the option of the Nightjet and if I try on OBB I get a price which seems close to a full price for a couchette. Is it all this complicated, having to counter check on three apps to figure out which train, how much and do on? It feels s bit daunting... please provide any advice for first time planner with kid, that would be very appreciated. Many thanks!Cristina

Sleeper Cerbere to Paris

Hi, I want to book the sleeper from Cerbere to Paris in August, for me, my husband and my son. On Seat 61, he says that if you want the whole compartment to yourself you can add and pay for phantom children. I just wanted to check - is it really ok to do this? I’ve had a look at booking on trainline (without using the interrail pass) and I can’t seem to find the option to just book the whole compartment (because there’s only 3 of us I think?) so I’m considering booking the non-existent kids! So my questions are: Can I book WITH the pass and add phantom children (or can I not do this because the ‘phantom children’ won’t have a pass? Or should I just book without the pass and add the phantom children?? I’ve promised my son a sleeper train at some point in the holiday otherwise I would maybe avoid it! Thanks everyone :-)

Best experience UK First class

Hi,maybe somebody has experience how to travel best in UK with an Interrail first class ticket?I have seen, there are different companies e.g. for London - Edinburgh: LNER, Virgin, …Would it be best to go by LNER because there is free food? Are there other good advices, like especially comfortable trains with first class ticket, or lounges we have to see?Maybe also some nice trains for train lovers (like old diesel Intercity trains e.g. Edinburg - Inverness)?And maybe special advice when you arrive with Eurostar at 8pm in St. Pancras. Would it be good to go for one more station heading to Edinburgh for cheaper accommodation than in London?Thanks, Thomas

Ticket Error Issue

I booked a trip from Paris to Geneva via the Eurail platform and then reserved the seats on the website. The return train ticket worked but I got an error on the train to Geneva saying that the reservation and payment went through but the tickets couldn’t be retrieved because of a system error. Does anyone know what to do?

rail planner app telling me journeys overlap when they definitely don’t

I have reservations on Eurostar from London to Paris 5/19 leaving at 12:31 arriving at 15:58, then on the night train from Paris to Toulouse same day leaving at 22:13. The app won’t let me add the night train to my pass as it keeps saying the journey overlaps with another. Clearly it does not. I’ve also had trouble with the app showing incorrect times in the list of journeys added to my trip, but correct after opening the journey. Not sure what’s going on.

Overnight travel from Bayeux to ride Glacier Express in June

My sister and I have never traveled in Europe.  We are in Bayeux, France until June 7 and rather than get a hotel, we thought we would ride the overnight train to a connection to catch the Glacier Express or the Bernina Express on the 8th of June.  Is that possible?  Our next stop is Fussen, Germany. Also, is it true that we can ride a local train that follows the same track that is much less expensive than the Glacier Express or the Bernina Express?

Wherer do you reccomend to go?

Hello! Can anyone help me recommend a route for July?I would like to leave Arad at night, arriving in Budapest at 8:50, where I will probably stay 2 nights. Can someone help me with recommendations for a route that leaves Budapest and ends up here. I would like the route to last somewhere at most 7 days, and not be necessarily long or expensive (I prefer it to be cheaper :) )I mention the fact that I have a 7-day travel pass

Messed up travel days - this a solution? (nighttrain)

Hi all. I have a 4 day pass. Will travel 3 days on it then take the night train from Amsterdam to Zurich (leaving Amsterdam at 19.05) and then travel the day to get home in Italy. However, is it right that the day I get on the night train and the next day travel as two travel days…? I messed that part up I believe.Could I solve it by buying a regular ticket from Amsterdam to the first station where the train arrives after midnight (Bonn)? Amd activate my travel day from Bonn? Only 20€ I saw, would be an easy fix, right?

Seat Reservation unavailable on Interrail page but available on RailEurope

Hi there, I am considering booking a seat reservation on the TGV from Lausanne to Avignon TGV on Sunday, the 20th of July, for 7:52 am.I have to book it on the Interrail web page, as I won my pass with DiscoverEU, and this year they are providing 4 free seat reservation credits only through the Interrail seat reservation page.Does anyone know why the seat reservation appears unavailable (see image below) on the Interrail page yet available to purchase for €29 on RailEurope?The DiscoverEU person I was dealing with was not able to help me. They advised me to choose a different route/departure, or if I wanted the seat reservation, I would have to pay for it on Rail Europe.The problem is that this direct train saves over an hour compared to taking a different departure/route and only goes once a day. I have to travel on Sunday.Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

Purchase tickets separately

Hi, I am going on a trip with 3 other friends this summer. We have all bought the Eurail pass and am starting to book some night trains ahead of time. One concern I have is ensuring that we are all in the same cabin when booking couchettes. I have added my friends to my trip, but that just makes me have to pay for their tickets as well when booking. Is there any way to have my friends pay for their own tickets but still ensure that we will all be together on the overnight trip? Thanks!

Global Pass Confusion

Hi,Could someone please clarify: if I purchase a Eurail Global Pass, will it allow me to travel on high-speed trains operated by companies like Deutsche Bahn (DB) in Germany and Trenitalia's Frecciarossa in Italy? Specifically, can I use the pass for both domestic journeys (from one city to another city in Italy or France to explore whole city) within a country and international trips between countries, such as traveling from Germany to France and then to Italy?Thank you!

Reservations in Italy questions

This my family’s first time using Eurail in Italy and I have just a couple questions. After getting the passes for my family a couple months back I first used the website to route our travel and made all of the necessary reservations. Then, just a couple weeks back we activated our passes in the app, looked up those same routes and added those journeys to our passes. I’m still getting emails from Eurail however reminding me to make my reservations, which I have already made. Was the order in which I first made reservations and then created the journeys and add them to our passes in the app wrong? Related to this, for those trains in which we have reservations, do we need to only show the train attendants that PDF ticket, or do we also show them the QR code for the same journey in the app? Finally, those Trenitalia reservations ticket don’t indicate whether they need to be printed or can just be shown on our phones. Are printed tickets necessary? Thanks very much.
