Do I need to make reservations if I have a railpass?
Reservations are generally not mandatory, although they are recommended for busy times and routings. Reservations are required for some high-speed trains such as the TGV, sleeper trains, or, if you want a couchette during an overnight journey. Reservations can be made at any train station for just a few dollars or in the U.S. for an additional service fee. Couchettes and Sleeper compartments are extra.

Train Tip
Talk to other travelers and Europeans you come in contact with. Be friendly and open-minded. Most Europeans are more than happy to talk to friendly travelers. Share information about your home town and they will be happy to reciprocate. Bring some pictures of your life to get conversation going. An added advantage is that your fellow travelers will help you check out the local scene. People will be more than happy to tell you their favorite spots in areas you may not already know about- no one knows more about Europe than the locals!
