INTERRAIL GUIDE 🚂 || How to plan your trip

[@markeasthope7450]

Thank you for useful and informative videos for interrail. Definitely the best i've seen, and i've seen a lot. Can't wait to see the rest of the series.

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

Thanks so much! We struggled so much with planning our trip at the beginning so glad this was useful. Hoping to get the next chapter filmed and posted soon!

[@judebishop6712]

I love how informative/structured each video is!! This series will be very helpful, so thank you!!!!

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

Really appreciate it! Got a couple more chapters in this series so hopefully you'll find them just as helpful :)

Loving this series! It’s so helpful and informative thank you 🧡🧡 just subbed and giggled when I saw your channel name ahahah xx

Thanks so much for insight. Patiently awaiting your next video for this Playlist

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

thanks so much! We've been a little busy settling a new puppy into our lives but hoping to record the next ep very soon!

[@danielpahor8444]

Thanks a lot for these videos. Honestly, I think the interrail/eurail UX is really poor so this is super helpful.

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

That means a lot. The Interrail and Eurial experience was actually a lot worse a few years back - they've made huge improvements with their app and website. Travelling with their paper pass was also cumbersome! So fingers crossed they only improve from here.

[@pedrosguitar]

thank you sm for your videos! i was so overwhelmed trying to organise my trip but you brought the excitement back and now i’m enjoying this time before the actual trip ❤

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

So glad you found the video helpful. Honestly we felt the same at the start. Planning a multi country trip can be really stressful at times but once you're out there it'll be worth it! Also don't worry too much if your plans don't go quite accordingly, it's all part of the messy process we call travel :) At the end of it all I hope you have some really amazing memories you can tell stories about to others

[@zaidtowfiq3410]

Your videos are super helpful, love the quality and can’t wait to see your channel grow!🔥

no worries, planning can be stressful but it's almost always worth doing 😉

[@hectork9930]

I recommend scunthorp and brixton in the uk

[@giacomospaul]

awesome video, thank you so much! :)

[@christinal5705]

Hi, does your first journey, i.e., from Manchester to London, count as the interail outward journey, or is the outward journey only when you go from, London to Paris?

[@issybessey]

This was so helpful!

[@francescoraso4235]

Thank you so much!

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

hope the video was helpful :)

[@francescoraso4235]

@@ChopsticksOnTheLoose Yes, it was! Thank you! I have just some doubts about the reservations...I bought the interrail global pass for this summer but I didn't really understand how and when I have to make my reservations, I hope you will talk about this in one of the next "chapters"!😀 Can't wait to see another video! P.s. I hope you enjoyed "Cinque Terre", it's where a live and it's such a wonderful place!🇮🇹🌏

[@waleedal-esayi5048]

nice informative video. Thanks :)

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

thanks! Glad you liked it

[@CheesePij]

Thanks for your helpful videos! I do have one point I'd like to clarify on: on a 'travel day', am I able to book trips between 2 countries + within the destination country itself?

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

thank you! Yes a "travel day" allows you to travel across multiple countries and within a country as many time as you like. The only exception is your outward and inward train from your "home" country. You can only travel out and back to your "home" country once using the pass. By home country I really mean the place you've decided to start your trip from.

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

hope this makes sense, if not let me know and I'll try my best to elaborate more

[@CheesePij]

it does! thank you so much

[@alexandraadapa2623]

nice video thank you, I would like to get Eurail pass for the family but, no all of us have a phone, how that will work

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

thanks! You can activate more than one pass on one device. Here's a link to the relevant Eurail page www.eurail.com/en/eurail-passes/eurail-mobile-pass/mobile-pass-faq/can-we-add-all-our-passes-to-one-device-even-if-we-bought-them-separately#:~:text=Yes%2C%20you%20can%20add%20Passes,in%20each%20order%20confirmation%20email.

[@StagnantMizu]

How do you know which trains you can take?

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

The easiest way is to use the railplanner app and search where you're travelling from and where you want to go. The app will then pop up with trains you can take using your Interrail pass. It'll also tell you whether the train requires a reservation fee as well so you won't get caught out.

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

Forgot to add, if you'd rather do your planning on a desktop then you can use their page "Search Train Times in Europe" which also does the same job. here's the link www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/interrail-timetable#/

[@StagnantMizu]

@@ChopsticksOnTheLoose thanks for replying, and have a nice summer!

[@anaprosser]

Hi I want to travel from València to Edinburgh the second week of August and back the third week of August.Can I use interracial all along including night trains to save up on accommodation?

[@ajrulloda2361]

Last I checked Bosnia Herzegovina does not use mobile Eurail Pass yet. Only Eurail Paper Pass on ZRS trains. Hmm. can one get mobile and paper at the same time?

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

You're correct, it seems as though ZRS trains aren't covered by mobile passes for now (we just learnt this ourselves). Unfortunately we're not entirely clear on how best to proceed and hether you can get both a mobile and paper pass at the same time (normally you can't). Would suggest reaching out to customer services at Interrail to ask but it would seem the best method would be to use a paper pass in this case. We did use a paper pass on our first Interrail trip and it was fine too, not as convenient as you need to fill in the train info each time you take one but wasn't too difficult either.

[@maluasebastiao2444]

Hey thanks for the videos, I have traveled a lot by plane, but I love traveling by train and have been thinking about interrail for years but just don’t know how it works. Can you customize it for example do like 1 week 2 countries ? Or 3 countries in 10 days ? Ans how about accommodation?

[@Hezron1416]

This is a great idea. 👍🏽

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

Hey, no worries! Of course, you'll probably one to get a global pass which allows you to travel any country. Then you can customize your trip however you want. So if you one to spend two weeks in Italy (we did) then that's fine, then you can spend the next week travelling through 3 or 4 countries. How you want to travel is up to you! Accommodation isn't included with pass but with Interrail you do get some special promotions with certain places (check out the Interrail app benefit section). In general, accommodation in Europe is as cheap or as expensive as you want it to be!

[@harryreed6046]

What's the quitiest and cheapest months to go interailling?

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

You'll for sure want to skip the summer holiday months but after that it's really dependant on the countries you're travelling to e.g. do they have public holidays or festivals happening. But in general you could travel most times of the year and just avoid peak times and you'll be fine. In terms of cheapest, are you referring to the Interrail ticket or travelling around Europe in general? If in general then anytime outside of Summer will be fine. Let us know if you have any other questions

[@harryreed6046]

Well I am thinking of starting my 3 month interaill around Europe at the end of January next year up to end of April, surely, those months should be quiter?

[@Amanda-kg5uz]

Does EURAIL/Interail pass include public transportation like metro's?

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

Usually it doesn't but if you go to the Interrail Benefits page you can see if the pass includes local transportation. For example, in Alsace (France) our passes included buses around the region but this isn't always the case. The page you want to check can be found using the following link www.interrail.eu/en/plan-your-trip/pass-benefits

[@cuttercutter6379]

Could anyone give me some good recommendations of where to go please? I'd love to see some beautiful mountings/lakes and have fun nights out in city's with amazing food. I'm looking to go for a month. I'Il be leaving from London. I was thinking of this route, what do you think? Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, bled, Venice.

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

The places you've chosen are all great - we did Amsterdam, Vienna, Bled and Venice on our own trip. There's a good mixture of nature and city between those places. But if you really want to see some amazing mountains you could add in Switzerland or the Dolomites in Italy. If you look at our first episode of our Interrail Guide we list out our itinerary. Also, we're planning to release a future episode which covers some of our favourite things to see/do on an Interrail Trip so be sure to subscribe to see it when it comes out!

[@leoo6658]

Do you have some tips/places/ activities do check out in Amsterdam, Paris, Monaco, Milano, Venice, Rome, Split, Ljubljana?

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

Hoping to get round to doing an episode that touches on some of the places we visited - if there's enough interest!

[@MariettaChissou-kp4fu]

What about bringing your dog with you, is it possible?

[@Kevin-jx9xf]

Can you explain how the train transfer work?? I am confuse because some of the train change time is very short. Do you have enough time for the train transfer?

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

Sure, on the app you'll notice some of the train transfers will say short - typically this means the connecting train is on the opposite platform. This has been true for us 9/10. You will get the odd one which requires you to run up and down the stairs but normally this shouldn't be the case. What we would recommend is taking a look to see if there is an alternative train you could catch should you miss the intended one. It never hurts to have a backup plan

[@sanaa.2195]

On the app there is an option to change the time of transfer, it's default is 5 minutes but you can change it. So if you add 30 minutes of transfer only, then only those journeys will be shown.

[@BB-jp9rh]

anyone have any good ideas to go? im 19, queer and going solo. i'd love to go to some cities like amsterdam or berlin but would also like to do some beaches, sunsets, chilling etc

[@EsterLamberti]

Hi! A very useful video. I'm going interrailing on July with some friends and I have a doubt: can we use the Pass to go from our city of residence and also go back after we finish our trip or do we have to buy separate tickets from the Pass? Thanks :)

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

Hey, which city are you travelling from? If it's within Europe then this should be fine - you have one outbound and one inbound train to your country of residence (again if it's in Europe/covered by Interrail)

[@EsterLamberti]

@@ChopsticksOnTheLoose hii, i have already made my trip!! I really enjoyed it! but thanks for responding. I saw the inbound and outbound trips in the interrail app so doubt solved hehehe If you ever do one more video about interrail can you warn the people who are interested that some trains, like highspeed trains, you also have to pay for a seat reservation? Because I didn't know it and for some trains I had to pay from 10 to 27 euros, that's a thing to have in mind if you're on a budget. thanks again for the video, it was very helpful

let's go on vacation to Indonesia, there are many tourist attractions in each region. each region has a culture and tradition that is different from other regions from different regional languages ​​and foods that are unique to the region. On vacation to Indonesia, don't forget to eat Indonesian food, but remember to be careful, Indonesian food tastes spicy. holidays to Indonesia exist; Nusa Dua and Nusa Penida in Bali Borobudur temple in Central Java Prambanan temple in Jogja Thousand Islands and Angel Island in Jakarta the peak of bogor with views of the tea garden and the Indonesian safari park in bogor, west java, close to jakarta Riau-Kepri and Batam are close to Singapore and have the same culture as Singapore and Malaysia, namely Malay culture and traditions. Raja Ampat in Papua the island of komodo live ancient animals that still exist, namely the large lizard Nama'y komodo, Lombok, Gili Trawangan, Lake Kelimutu, Mount Rinjani in NTT Tangkuban Parahu Mountain, White Crater and Saung Angklung, a musical instrument made of bamboo in Bandung Ijen Crater and Mount Bromo in East Java Sianok canyon in West Sumatra tana toraja in South Sulawesi Lake Toba and Bunaken Marine Park in North Sulawesi Wakatobi in Southeast Sulawesi and there is another that is Derawan Island, Maratua Island, Karimunjawa, Weh Island, Sumba, Jomblang Cave....

does anyone go this summer? if so, let's catch up somewhere

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

Hope you (and anyone else that went this summer) had a great time!

[@noahblackwelll]

Don’t plan trust me it’s more fun but I guess with planning it’s more peace of mind

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

There's positives to both, we like to have a rough plan which allows some randomness in between - if that makes sense...

[@LineEwa]

here's the trick, don't plan. been interailling for almost 3 months now and it's been incredible going with the flow!

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

Definitely one way to do it. We personally prefer to have some stuff planned though

[@paulroberts6304]

My interrail is cheaper than what you advertise.

[@ChopsticksOnTheLoose]

Hey, thanks for letting me know. Prices can vary from each person, depends on where they go, what they do and also the varying prices from year to year. Glad things worked out cheaper for you than it did for me.
