Interrail Train Timetable

Step 1: Fill in your departure and arrival station, choose your travel date and the time you want to depart or arrive. Hit 'Find Route' to search for trains.

Step 2: You'll see a list of connections, informing you about the duration of the trip, if you need to change trains and whether you need a seat reservation for that particular train. 

Step 3: Click on the '+'-symbol to see the details of the connection, like the train number, railway company, transfer time and the on-board facilities. Click 'Show all stops' to see all the places the train will stop.

Step 4: When there is an 'R'-symbol, you need a reservation to travel on this train.

If there is no 'R'-symbol, there's no need for a seat reservation.

Some city names can only be found when you use the local spelling. This is the case for Prague (Praha), Lisbon (Lisboa), Belgrade (Beograd) and Copenhagen (Koebenhavn), among others. Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris is listed as Roissy CDG.

Many European cities have more than one railway station. When you're not sure which station to choose, always go for the first one in the list. This is usually the biggest station and is located in or near the city center. Please note that there are exceptions to this rule. For example, the station that's closest to the city center is Santa Lucia. However, the timetable lists Venice Mestre first, because this is the station most night trains stop at.

If you want to travel on trains that don't require a seat reservation, you can travel on slower local trains instead of high speed or intercity trains. Simply click on 'Show more options' and play around with the 'All trains except high speed' and 'Local trains' filters.

If the options above haven't helped you find a train or route you like, you can select the option 'Via this station'. Fill in a third station and instead of searching for direct routes from A to B, the timetable will now search for a route via C. For example, say you're traveling from Amsterdam to Paris, but would like to visit Brussels along the way. You just fill in Brussels as your 'Via station' and let the timetable come up with a route.

Please keep in mind that:

• Trains in, to and from France can become fully booked. Try and book your reservations for trains in France as far in advance as possible to guarantee your seat.
