Free travel in your home country is limited to just 2 trips Interrail passes don't give unlimited train travel in your country of residence, but since you've been allowed to use a global Interrail pass for one journey in your home country at the beginning of your travels from your home station to either a border, airport or ferry port and a trip back at the end.
Although there is no requirement that the return trip has to be to the same station you started from at the beginning of your travels. This domestic journey can involve more than one train, but must be a continuous single journey between a point of origin for example your home station and a border, airport or ferry port.
This forms part of your normal free travel allowance, it is not additional, so you need to record the journey on your Interrail journey form as normal and if you have a flexi pass this uses up a travel day on your pass - but of course this one travel day lasts from midnight to midnight and you can use as many trains as you like in that time. So if you live in Great Britain, one pass day would cover you for a train journey from your home station to London then a Eurostar passholder journey to Paris or Brussels, then any onward trains beyond Paris or Brussels made that same day.
However, Eurostar counts as a train in your home country, so it would not be OK to travel up to London, stay overnight and take Eurostar next day as this would be two trips. Passholder places are controlled by quota, but should have wide availability if you book well in advance and reasonable availability even on the day of travel, although at busy times not all trains will have passholder places available I can tell you that the quota sits in the 3rd price bucket down from the top out of a dozen buckets, so is widely available even at short notice, but not on the busiest trains, and occasionally not at all on very busy dates.
Yes, if you have a flexi-type pass, a journey with one of these Eurostar passholder fares requires you to use of your travel days, although of course you can use other trains as well in the course of the same day.
Alternatively, take a ferry to mainland Europe If you prefer to travel by ferry rather than Eurostar, or if you find all the cheap Eurostar fares sold out, there is a cheap ferry option. It's a wonderful way to reach the Continent! Which trains are covered by Interrail, once you're in mainland Europe? An Interrail pass gives unlimited free travel on all the train services run by the national train operator in each of the countries it covers.
These aren't special 'Interrail trains', these are all the normal, regular trains operating in that country. Interrail passes also cover certain private operators, especially in Switzerland, see the country-by-country guide. An Interrail pass does not give free travel on underground trains, buses, trams or metros in big cities as these are usually run by an urban transit authority, nor on some small private train operators such as Euskotren narrow-gauge trains in Spain or the Circumvesuviana railway in Italy Naples-Pompeii-Sorrento.
A leaflet comes with your pass and explains the details, or see the country-by-country guide. How to find train times around Europe on which you can use your Interrail pass Use the excellent German Railways online timetable at www. It covers pretty much the whole of Europe.

It will also show which trains have compulsory reservations.
Go to www. This is this a great Europe-wide timetable app which you can use to check train times whilst on the move as the timetable works offline, with no mobile data costs.
What about ferries within Europe, for example to Greece? A few euros for port taxes needs to be paid, and cabin berths are extra. Continuous passes are valid for as many journeys and as much train travel as you want to cram in for the whole of their period of validity, which starts on the date you specify when you buy the pass. With Flexi type passes, the overall day or 1-month period of validity starts ticking from the date you specify when you buy the pass, and when you want to spend one of your 5 or 10 days unlimited train travel, you write the date in one of the 5 or 10 'day' and 'month' boxes printed on your Interrail pass.
What does an Interrail pass look like? Example pass : This is a days in 2 months Interrail global Flexi pass. The real thing will be printed on security-background ticket stock.
As you can see, the overall validity period here is from 29 February to 28 April, and there are 10 spaces marked 1 to Simply write the date in one of those spaces each time you want to 'spend' a pass day. Each box gives free travel from midnight to midnight or beyond midnight when using a sleeper train , subject to paying any reservation fees or surcharges of course.
A Continuous pass looks very similar, but without the 'flexi days' boxes. Courtesy of Rail Europe The Interrail pass travel diary The Interrail train travel diary: You simply need to fill this out each time you board a train.
You send it back after your trip free postage and it's used for market research purposes. If you forget to fill it in, most conductors will simply wait while you get your pen out if they even bother asking to see it in the first place , but in theory there could be a 'fine' so remember to fill it in before or as soon as you board.
You can ask for more pages at any main station if you run out of space. Larger image. Filling in the travel diary The classic paper Interrail pass comes in a cover, and attached to that cover is a blank travel diary. Each time you take a train, you need to record the date, where it's from and where it's to, in black or blue ink - that's in addition to filling in the travel date on the pass itself if it's a Flexi-type pass.
The railways use this as market research, helping them to allocate Interrail revenue between operators. To make it clear, Brussels to Nuremberg with a change in Frankfurt requires two separate entries, Brussels-Frankfurt and Frankfurt-Nuremberg. However, if a conductor found you had made only one entry, Brussels to Nuremberg, they should point it out and maybe ask you to change it but that's all. In theory there's a fine if the conductor finds that you haven't filled it in at all, but in practice most conductors will simply ask you to do so if you haven't.
However, there's always the risk that you'll meet a jobsworth, so play safe and fill it in while you're waiting for the train or as soon as you get on. Mobile Interrail passes were introduced as an alternative to printed passes in September The mobile pass sits in an app on your smartphone, and instead of the printed travel diary, you simply use app's journey planner to select and add a trip to an in-app travel diary, or you can add one manually.
When must you make reservations? You can just hop on some trains spontaneously, sit where you like and show your pass to the conductor when he comes round. The country-by-country guide explains which specific trains require a reservation in each country and roughly how much it costs, but here are a few simple rules of thumb for planning purposes Local, suburban or regional trains In almost all countries you just hop on, find any empty seat and show your Interrail pass when asked by the conductor, there's nothing more to pay.
On most of these trains you can't even make reservations if you want to. You can just hop on, find an empty seat and show your Interrail pass when asked, nothing extra to pay. SuperCity trains in the Czech Republic require reservation. And international journeys from these countries to or from France, Italy or Spain do require compulsory seat reservation and usually a supplement or special fare.
Remember to factor these fees into your budget. Railpasses have lost their 'convenience factor' in these countries as you can't just hop on a train spontaneously. However, you'll seldom find trains fully-booked except at key holiday periods and can make reservations until shortly before departure.
This makes it relatively expensive and inconvenient to use these particular trains with a pass. However, for most other reservation-compulsory trains there's no passholder quota, you can normally pay the passholder reservation fee to book yourself onto the train even 15 minutes before the train leaves. Only very rarely at very busy times or dates do trains get full. See the country-by-country guide. Overnight sleeper trains : You always need to pay a supplement and make a reservation for a sleeper or couchette on overnight trains, in all countries.
With Interrail flexi passes, an overnight train only uses up one travel day, see here to learn how this works. You need to pay a fee to use a couchette or sleeper with your pass, the fee is usually per bed, not per compartment. Berth fees for passholders are listed for specific routes in the Interrail pass reservation guide.
If you have a flexi-type pass, an overnight train only uses one day on your pass, the day of departure. Here is the new rule, :which replaced the old 'After ' rule in January A Flexi pass day normally runs from midnight to midnight. But if you board any overnight train before midnight, and do not change trains after midnight , you only need to use one day on a Flexi pass, the day of departure. It no longer matters what time your sleeper train leaves on day 1, or what time it arrives on day 2.
The date you write on your pass is that of day 1. As normal, you get unlimited travel from midnight to midnight on day 1, so can take other trains on day 1 in addition to the sleeper train, all on the same pass day. The Interrail Pass does not include reservation fees. You will have to show the ID document that you entered on the Interrail Pass when your ticket is inspected on the train. Your Interrail Pass gives you a host of discounts, such as for hotels and museums.
