Book a seat reservation
While a Rail Pass is the most efficient way to travel extensively, it should be accompanied by a reservation. If you already have a Rail Pass, you can buy the reservation separately.
Who can buy a reservation?
Only Pass holders i.e passengers who have already bought a Rail Pass, can book and purchase a reservation.
Why book a reservation?
If you are planning to travel on board a high speed, scenic or night train in Europe, a reservation is needed in most cases. The reservation is used in conjunction with your Rail Pass and thus guarantees a physical seat, couchette or sleeper depending on the type of train. The price of a Rail Pass does not include a reservation.
Why book it online?
