Advance reservations
On some special trains, like for example the Alaris and the Thalys, the number of seats available for Eurail travelers is limited. Also for this reason it's highly recommended that you make advance reservations.
- Seat reservations will cost between USD 4 / AUD 5 / EUR 2 and USD 25 / AUD 30 / EUR 15 if you book at the local ticket window.
- You can book your seat reservations up to 90 days before your actual trip.
- Bitte beachten Sie, dass für manche Züge Zuschläge anfallen. In diesem Zuschlag ist die Reservierungsgebühr bereits enthalten.
Generally speaking, all night trains and long-distance express trains require a reservation. For more details, please check the chapter about besondere Züge on this website. Reclining seats and berths also require reservations.
