With HappyRail, you can book almost all Interrail seat reservations in Europe online via our international train planner. Simply select “Reservations” in the planner to book seat reservations without purchasing a new ticket.
Since 2002, HappyRail has been helping travelers with Interrail passes and seat reservations across Europe.
In the table below, you’ll find an overview showing where reservations are required, typical reservation costs, and whether reservations can be booked online.
