Reservations
The reservation information provided here applies to European rail travel only.
Reservations are recommended for certain day and night trains in order to be sure that you have a place on a specific train.
A ticket or Railpass will allow travel on most trains, but it won't ensure a seat or sleeping accommodation.
Reservation fees are not included in the price of a pass or open ticket.
You can make reservations at the train station on the day of travel, or up to 2 months in advance.
Most high-speed trains, night trains, hotel trains, and other special trains require reservations.
These can be made in Europe for an extra fee. Fees for seat reservations are approximately £3.
All seat, couchette, and sleeper reservations can be purchased in Europe (at train stations).
