Where can I check the number of seats left in a train?
Already have a Pass?
You can use our reservation booking tool to check how many seats are left in a train before booking your seats. All you have to do is log in, search for the route you want to travel on, and select your preferred train from the options.
Don’t have a Pass yet?
We’re currently working on making this information available to our travelers before they buy the Pass. Until then, you can check the number of seats left for Eurail Pass holders on most railway carriers' websites. You can find more information about this on our How to book seats page. Please note that the number of seats on a train for Pass holders differs from the total number of unsold seats on the train as seats for Pass holders are usually limited.
We suggest the following platforms for checking if there are still seats left for Pass holders:
