Good to know!

Reservations

For some trains, like night trains and high-speed trains (for example Eurostar, Thalys and TGV), it's mandatory to reserve a seat. These reservations are not included in your Eurail Pass. You can buy them through our Reservation Self Service for 95% of the trains in Europe. 

Try and book your seats as far in advance as possible, for most trains you can do this up to 3 months in advance. This is especially recommended if you are taking popular trains, are traveling in a bigger group or are traveling in high-season. 

It's also possible to avoid trains with seat reservations all together, by traveling by regional train. Regional trains may be slower, but they're a great way to discover smaller towns and villages.

"Great website"

I like how your website is organized and contains all of the information that one needs to buy the correct pass, see timetables, and book/reserve seats on the trains you need to take to reach your destination(s). The site is straightforward, informative, and well thought out. I've never travelled by train in Europe but I already feel like I've done it many times.
