How to pack for the journey?

Pack up lightly, but don't forget anything important. The size of the backpack should match not only the length of the trip, but also the destination you are traveling to. Take an extra pair of shoes if you travel to mountains, and for a beach, don‘t forget a towel. And especially, leave some free space for souvenirs. To make sure you don't miss anything during your trip, we suggest taking these 12 things with you.

Backpack Travel documents Not big, not small, in a sufficient size Don't forget an insurance card

Money Sunscreen If an ATM isn't at hand Don't get burned, but tan

Food Head cover Not all trains have a restaurant car Against rain or wind

Camera Swimsuit To make your experiences live forever To a wellness center or to a beach

Phone accesories Sunglasses Charger, headphones or a selfie stick So that sun does not hinder the view

Music Hiking boots For relaxation while traveling Proper footwear is essential for tourism

How to properly fill in a ticket and travel diary?

In the case of traveling with an Interrail ticket, some data must be written on the ticket or travel diary. Always fill in the data with a blue or black ballpoint pen. Do not write data with a pencil and avoid overwriting data which is prohibited for Interrail tickets. If you do, the ticket can be confiscated by train staff.

Contact details

Fill in your contact details at the top of the travel report. At the end of your trip, you can send Interrail by mail to the address written on Travel Diary to receive a great gift.

Travel data Before each trip, it is required to have journey details entered in the Travel diary. It is necessary to list the day, month and time of the journey, as well as the boarding and departure stations, and also the mode of transport. In the case of a Global Pass, be sure to enter start and end dates of the trip in the "Outbound journey" and "Inbound journey" boxes.

Travel calendar The travel calendar is present only in case of FLEXI tickets. Each day of the journey is marked in a box, upper is the day of travel and the bottom is the month of travel. If you make a mistake, cross out the wrong date and enter the correct date in the next box. In this case, however, you lose one box without compensation.

What about reservations?

Interrail Pass covers the price of the fare on selected trains but does not cover the cost of seats and other types of reservations. In case you want to book a seat on a train, it is necessary to pay a little extra for a seat, bed, couchette or a cabin. If you want to avoid the payment of extra fees, use a train with optional reservations or regional trains for which seat reservations are usually not required.
