Hi

I am planning on doing this route in mid june to early july with 4 others

Will I need a reservation on any of the trains? And if so how do I book them in advance?

Hi Ronaldo!

Do you know more about the connection?
There are some trains where you need a reservation and some you can drive without a reservation.

The reservation you can do online example here on Raildudue or at the Ticketcounter from the train company.

E.g. Amsterdam to Berlin

How do we ensure we get seats on the 09.02 train

Can we pay the 4 euros online in advance? And where?

'InterRail: reservation possible but not required
2nd class: EUR 4
1st class: EUR 4 '

Hi.
I would save the money on this train. :)
As like written: you do not need a reservation for this train - [u]https://rail.cc/en/train/amsterdam-to-berlin[/u]
If you want to have one, order it for example together with your rail pass here on railcc. An other option is to buy it somewhere at a station (attention to handling fees!).

Do you think that I won't have problems if I don't reserve earlier my trains on July and do it at the stations?
I don't need to hurry during the trip.

And one more question: Is Your timetable actual for upcoming summer? My travel will include several international connections and I have read that these are likely to change. I have already planned my trip with Your timetables and it wouldn't be hilarious if I end up with total mess in my plans :)

Hi.
The schedules are up to date!
The changes in June are only minor changes - no worries. So usually there are no changes at all - if there are changes, then only for some minutes. And not on the routes you will travel. :)
Yes, you will also be fine - as for your route you won't need reservations. Except for Prague to Venice, there it depends which way you want to travel - but by day train connection you won't have problems getting a reservations as well at the station in Prague or in the train (example Munich-Venice). Zagreb-Split: you have to buy it at the station.
Peter :)

11:10 Milan - Monte Carlo 13:40 12/7
5:55 Nice - Barcelona 18:39 13/7

17/7 21:50 Madrid - Porto 7:45 18/7
16:47 Porto - Lisbon 19:30 5EUR 18/7
21:18 Lisbon - Hendaye 11:28 7EUR 19/7
20/7 19:32 Hendaye - Paris 7:07 6EUR 21/7

I'm wondering if the Hendaye-Paris train 19:39-7:07 is still available. It can't be reached through the Train connections menu but You do have it in Your database

Note:
17:02 Trieste - Venice 18:48 9/7 = EUR 10

:idea: For Italy check here: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation/italy/it[/u]

17/7 21:50 Madrid - Porto 7:45 18/7 is not free [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/madrid-to-porto[/u]

20/7 19:32 Hendaye - Paris 7:07 6EUR 21/7 - the train runs - but still waiting for the summer schedules confirmed. But calculate with it. :)

And if you like the information on railcc, support us and buy your official Interrail pass via our partner link [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux]
Thank you. :)

For the Trieste I couldn't find any information on railcc and found on the official page.
Do you know then a way to get to Venice from Plitvice(or Rijeka) to Venice in one day without having to hitchhike or go through Ljubliana.

Madrid - Porto: Yeah, I forgot to note that in plans ;)

Can we have the Theft/Loss cover when ordering through your site?

Hi.
For Rijeka to Venice have look at this route:
Except for the border crossing Slovenia-Italy by bus (~ EUR 1,50 - [u]https://rail.cc/blog/travel-lake-bled-train/[/u]) it is free. So you can save the EUR 10 for the high-speed-train. :)

Yes, there is the Rail Safeguard Plan Plus protecting your Interrail pass against lost and theft. If you like, just add it to your order - see here: [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux]

Another possibility would be to go to Sezana as described in Peter's link, then take a bus either directly to Trieste, or to Villa Opicina only, then by vintage tramway to Trieste, then by train to Venice.
