Do I need a reservation or a surcharge when travelling with the Interrail Pass?

You will need a reservation to travel on many of Europe’s high-speed trains and on all night trains. You cannot travel on these trains without a reservation.

Please also note that a reservation including surcharge is required for high-speed trains between Germany and France and for Eurocity trains between Munich and destinations in Italy.

You can make your reservation for almost all European trains up to 6 months before departure online here, at DB points of sale and at www.interrail.eu, for some trains up to 3 months before departure.

The Interrail Pass does not include reservation fees.
