Ok so i may sound really stupid with some of these questions but me and my boyfriend are planning an interrail trip for around new years time, we;ve both never done it before so need abit of help with a few things.
1. Which ticket would be best for us? Were both under 26 so im guessing its the youth option.
We were planning on going amsterdam, bruges, berlin, cologne, poland (to visit auswitz) and vienna. Then also maybe italy as well.
We would plan on staying 1 or 2 nights in each city.
We wondered if we would be best getting the 5 days in 10 ticket but then we realised were travelling more than 5 times, but wondered if this ticket can be used to travel around once inside a country or do we have to pay to do this. For example if we stayed in Krakow in Poland but wanted a day trip to auswitz would we have to pay extra for a train to get there or can we use our interrail pass.
Sorry if this doesn't make much sense, im just abit unsure of how the 5 out of 10 days tickets work or whether wed just be better getting a 15 day continuous
2. If we wanted to get a night train from say poland to austria how do we book it?
Thanks for any help

Hi.
1) ONE of your 5 travel days in a period of 10 days is from 00:01h in the morning until 23:59h at night. You can use as much trains as you want on such a travel day and cross as much borders as you want.
For your day trip from Krakow to Auschwitz think about using a normal ticket of the Polish railway (very cheap - I think about EUR 10 for a return ticket per person).
There is a special rule for overnight trains saving you a travel day:

You have to calculate it by yourself. Either the 5 in 10 or think about as well of the 10 in 22 - cheaper than the 15 continuous. And if under the age of 26, you can travel on the cheaper YOUTH tickets:
