hey there 👋🏼
welcome to another video ⭐
today i have my ultimate guide to interrail! 🚂
i went interrailing last summer holidays right after my exams were over and it was the best end to a gap year a girl could wish for 😊basically i had the most incredible time EVER exploring the interail destinations, so wanted to share my top tips, money saving hacks, best routes, and general tricks that I picked up en route 💰
i travelled solo for just over 2 months starting in Oslo followed by Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin, Prague, Budapest, Split, Dubrovnik, Ljubljana (and Lake Bled), Venice, Rome, Naples (and Capri), Lyon, Paris, Brussels and finally Amsterdam! It's probably easier to ask me where i haven't been haha 🌍i can't wait to interrail again soon!
i hope you enjoy the video and it helps you plan your own trip around europe by train!
also make sure to grab a hot tea and enjoy ☕
see you soon,
coco 💌

this rule with 7 pm to 4 am is brilliant, it helped me so much, love youu ❤️
It wasn’t dangerous at night?
@@gracehernandez9620 no it is not dangerous for yourself but you need to watchout for people stealing your logage. What I personally did was booking a sleeping cabin they are most of the time close to 10 euros in the balkans. You need to share them with strangers most of the time, but you can close the cabin off so it is the lesser of the risks.
@@ruben-4150 thanks !
@@gracehernandez9620 feel free to ask more questions if things are unclear
I dont fully understand how this rule works-
It still counts as a travel day right? So the only difference is you’re travelling at nigjt and get to enjoy when you get there..?
I kept staring at your eyebrows they are literal perfection wow
I‘m German and Hand to laugh so hard Wehen you Said that the gut who Showdown you flunkyball was from Germany :D we know Hof to Play drinking games 😂
Sameee😂😂
Same here. I am from Austria and we also play this game at partys 😂
I didn't know Flunkyball is not known everywhere
Your voice is so nice to listen to

Miten meni? Vinkkejä?
@@fropsyh Noh, valitettavasti en sit koskaan päässytkään reissuun kun pandemia pisti suunnitelmat uusiksi. Ehkä tulevaisuudessa jossain vaiheessa sitten uusi yritys.
@@tomimarkus Ai, harmi.
Thank you for the tips Coco, really helpful guide! I am going on an Interrail trip in Apil/May so it was good to gain some extra knowledge :). Also from England!
goodluck! you'll have a great time :)
Ah your hair looks incredible! Some great tips - thanks for sharing!
Anastazja Stanowska thank you :)
Awesome and absolutely great informational video. Many of the important things you mentioned about the Rail pass, late evening 7 pm-4 am rule, the places you covered etc etc were very useful for a first timer. I watched a couple of videos on interrailing and none was anywhere near the way you explained. I am SBSCRIBED to your channel. Thanks for making such a fine content.
you’re welcome! glad i could help :)
Loved this video, could you PLEASE do a video on this makeup look its so simple yet beautiful❤️
Meg xxx if you want you can check out my everyday makeup look on my channel because it’s pretty much the same as this look, just add a brown eyeliner ❤️
loved the video!!! you have a new subscriber
thank you!
This was so helpful! I'm interrailing this summer and I will definitely go to Lake Bled and check out the hostel you recommended. Thank you!
You are great and deserve a lotty lot of subsricbers. Also your hair is so pretty :))
mim taylor you’re so sweet, thank you!
I also did an interrail trip and it was SOOOO awesome! Everyone should do it! 🙌
AGREED!
how many days did you stay in every city on average? btw loved the video, so informative and it really cleared up a lot of doubts :)
Pls do a video on what you wore whilst travelling! I’m planning to go next year and need super cute outfit ideas! (That are also good if you wanna pack light for two weeks 😂) love this video!! X
love that idea! ty x
Helpful!

Hey Coco! I love your video! I'm also planning to do an interrail but I can't find a direct train from lake Bled to Venice.. did you take the bus or a train?

you're absolutely correct! it's incredible, you should definitely go :)
had to give it this a like great vid and 221 likes was triggering my ocd lol
ahh i want to do an interrail trip so badly!! wish i lived close enough to europe to just go asap
Megan's Vlogs you definitely should!
Great video!! I think you can also mention RT⑦⑦⑦E at TrainPal checkout to save budgets lol.
you’re so pretty! Love your video! I just subscribe:)
Great video! I have a question. I want do interrail this summer and you mentioned going to lake Bled from Lubljana. It's a hour drive so did you take the bus or taxi? How do you really travel to places if it Isn't by train?
Great video!
thank you!
I won a DiscoverEu interailling pass and came across this video! Thanks so much for the tips and suggestions of places, will definitely go to visit ljubljana! Would you suggest a big backpack for interrailing or a small suitcase? my friends and i are planning on only staying in airbnbs, so i'm not sure which one would be more convenient
venus aby i took a medium sized rucksack for 2 months and i still felt like i had too much stuff!
but if you’re staying in air bnbs then a suitcase may be nicer because you won’t be hurting your back and don’t have to be as cautious with you belongings
(sorry for the late reply!)
Where and when are you going? I also won one! ☺️
How did you win them?
@@emeliekjellerstedt6837 same!
How did you win them ?
hey girl! At the moment I’m planning my own interrail trip. Quick question, is it possible to travel from Dubrovnik to Ljubljana with interrail, and so not how did you travel between these places?
Love this video!!💗
Pls do more clothing hauls!!😘
Lucy J I’m broke rn so haven’t bought anything new :( but I will as soon as I buy stuff!
Coco Day ok thanks!! X
Did you travel by yourself? Also do u have any tips for a big group? Thanks! A great video! 👌
This is amazing advice! Im about to do a Europe trip with my best friend and was wondering if you think the hostels were safe? We are a bit scared as we've heard some horror stories about dodgy people at hostels stealing etc...
Alyx Fox i think the majority are very safe! i also heard some weird stories however i didn’t experience anything bad apart from a few really loud snorers haha
just be aware of the people around you and don’t be afraid to ask the staff for help if anything worries you!
Hi I'm going with two friends this may/june and I loved your video. We're all 17 when we go, will that be a problem you think? Also do you know places you can win an interrailing pass?
Very thankful video! I'm planning a trip for next year, solo as well. Were you scared at all? How did you keep your belongings (and yourself) safe?
good luck! you'll have so much fun :) i was scared at first but soon felt very confident and just excited! i kept all my stuff in a huge rucksack and i had a padlock on it and i also plan on doing a whole video about being safe while travelling soon :)
Hi, when you book hostels for the night, and for example get to the destination around middday, what do you do with the big backpack, do you always have to carry it? I heard there were lockers in some cities
Loved your video, very very helpful for planning my trip. One thing that confuses me is wheather or not you can take a train to one city and then take the next one from a different city in the same country. Like for example travel to Rome on one of your travel days and then take the next train another travel day from milan
i'm sure you can but i never tried
Hi Coco! Quick question:
How did you go to Dubrovnik? As I can't seem to find a train that goes there. Is it only possible to get there by bus? And would you recommend it as a destination?
As someone who also wants to go travelling solo could you tell me/do a video about whether at any point you felt unsafe and how you overcame any difficult situations?
yes! i will film a "travel safety" video soon :)
V good vedio..very informative
Hi, great video! Just a lil question, been seeing a lot of things about reserving seats on trains and it seems like it can be quite expensive! What were your experiences with this? Thanks in advance 😁
QALEBCUINNHWG hi! i can’t remember exactly how much they cost but i think the majority ranged between €1-€10 but my longest train from naples to lyon in france cost €20 to reserve!
it depends i think so just be prepared :)
Brilliant, thanks so much!
Can you please do a curly hair routine because you hair is amazing x
aww thank you! i will add that to my list :)
Hey, so last summer I went on a city trip on my own (to test if solo traveling is something for me). I really enjoyed it. I went to Prague by Flixbus (don't recommend that bus, it was horrible 😂), stayed at a hostel and did some free city Tours. I all really enjoyed it. But there was one down side. I ended up not really meeting any people at all. I'm an introvert person and the hostel i stayed in didn't really had a common room or whatever. But there must be something I should do differently next time. Do you have any tips for me? I'm planning to do an interrail trip in about 2 years and would be great if I meet some people along the way. Also I'm not in my twenties anymore, which most solo travels are. Do you think that might be a factor why I didn't really meet any people?
Hi Thijs! Especially for introvert people the right situation is a great push to meet people and friends. In an hostel with a common room is soo easy to start a conversation (it needs just a deep breath before). Then, activities are always a conversation passepartout, where you share an experience there is immediately a connection. Good luck for your next trip!
Some hostel's have a design layout that allows for more social interactions. My 1st hostel in Turkey I was really disappointed that I didn't make many friends and I blamed it on my introvertedness and then in my second hostel it was so easy to make friends because we usually had breakfast together or everyone would be in the common area in the evening.
When you say Travel days do you mean from country to country? Would I for example have to write down if I was getting a train from one area of Italy to another just for a day trip or using the metro in Paris?
Hi !! Your video was very helpful !! I am from USA and I'm traveling to Europe starting in London and ending in Germany for 2 weeks and 5 days do you think the interrail pass is a good idea ? or should i just book each train individually and also does it include taking a plane ?
Just answering for people who might have the same question:
If you are not from Europe the ticket is called eurorail. I am not sure what the differences are but for interrail you need to be from europe or live there for a while.
The ticket includes trains but you might have to pay a few euros for a seat reservation on special trains or if you want a bed on a night train. No discount on flights just trains, busses and some ferries.
Hi! Your video was extremely helpful! I have a question! I am studying abroad in Spain this June and after I am trying to plan a trip around Europe. I am trying to decide whether it is better to go alone or go with a friend? I’ve been to Europe twice before with family and a group and I had a hard time making other connections and meeting people. So basically on one hand I agree with you that I will prolly meet more people alone. But also I feel like it is maybe a lot to bite off all on my own and having a second person would be nice to help with cooking and planning etc. Which do you think is better?
Levi Stidham i would say if you really don’t want to go alone, then only go with ONE friend because that way, the two of you are still approachable to other solo/group travellers and you will still make friends. when i went i noticed that groups larger than 3 would keep to themselves and weren’t as sociable because they were intimidating and also didn’t NEED to makes friends.
hope this helps!
Hi hun! Love the video. I just had a quick question - were you able to use your pass to go between cities in the same country (EG when you went from Rome to Venice), or did you have to book them outside of the interrail pass?
Lizzy Hood hey :) i definitely uses my pass from Lyon to Paris but the Rome to Venice trip i can’t remember :/ pretty sure i did use it but even if i hadn’t, a trip that short would only cost a couple euros x
@@CocoDay amazing thank you! x
Does someone know in aprox. how much time do you receive the interrail pass after ordering it
Very nice video
❤️
this video is so useful and also girl in red for background music (yess!!)
omg she's so good!
good drawing of timo werner in the background
so i know that i am not that early but i am planning to go on an interrail trip next summer (2020) and you said that you only spent about 15 £ per night in a hostel- i did some research and i was asking myself if you slept in dorms with other people because i am a bit scared about this and i would prefer a hostel where i have my own small room with my friend but those hostels are very expensive on what i found on my research. How did you (or other people here) manage to spent that less money? Do you have any tips or can you share your experience with dorms or other accomondations?
You’re so pretty!!
Thank you for vedio
I hav a? .... abt 7 PM rule.... from prague to budapest my train reaches in the morning 6am... 9 hrs journey..... So it will be consider 2 days as it is after 4am
Jose Ku oooo i’m not sure about that sorry! to be safe you could contact the customer service of interrail or just count that as 2 days, better safe than sorry!
This might be already too late but if you bought your pass in 2019 it doesn't matter what time your train leave or arrive. So 7pm rule is old now but if you googlw "7pm rule" you'll find the new information
thanks this was really interesting! what language did people speak mostly when you were socialising in hostels?
sorry this is so late but almost everyone speaks english!
Hey how long did it take you to get from Budapest to Split, struggling to find a good route :)
Anjali32 i had to get a bus for around €20 and it said it would take about 4 hours but ended up being more like 5 because of traffic
hope this helps!
Hi there,
Thinking of planning an interrail trip...
One thing I am confused on...
Do you just write the train you want to board into your pass or do you have to show your pass at a ticket office and get a train ticket?
Can you just jump on the trains? And is the interrail pass your ticket? You said you would be booking your next train when you arrived in a country? Can you explain what you meant by this? Thanks
if you want to reserve a seat then you can buy an additional ticket (usually under 10 euros), but otherwise you can just write the train you want to go on on your interrail ticket!
you can just jump on trains but be aware that you may not get a seat if it's one of the busier trains so you could sit on the floor or have to reserve a seat
and i said i booked my next train when i arrived in another country because i did reserve seats at the ticket office literally when i got off another train (i just felt more organised this way and knew i wouldn't have to sit on the floor haha) you don't have to do that though!
how do you know where your staying did you have to book a hotel for every country!
Hi how much is it to book reservations with a global pass? :)
I was planning on traveling to Europe with these travel packages next August 2020 because it would be much more affordable and i feel I’d be able to travel to more places. It’s a little scary because my boyfriend and I have never done anything like it let alone stay in a hostel 😭 I’m doing more and more research and it seems like such a normal thing to do there.
Anyway, when you did go to places or when you went out with people, where did you leave your backpack and valuables? Many have said to never leave your belongings in hotels etc 😫
Same!!! 🙏
most hostels have lockers so make sure to bring a padlock or 2 :) but if not, i always kept my valuables in a fanny pack on my body x
Coco Day THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Also, from what time to what time is considered a travel day for Interrail (Im assuming the same goes for eurrail)? or is it per trip from one location to another?
Kaycee Festin travel days aren’t done as a 24 hour count down, it’s done as literal days... so if you travel on a monday you can travel again any time on tuesday even if it’s not 24 hours later :)
Hello!!! I wanted to know how did u do on your interrail? Did u plan daily/weekly activities and main poins before going or was it done spontaneously?
hi! i actually only planned my first 2 cities (transportation, accommodation and activities) but for the other 14 i planned absolutely nothing and did everything spontaneously :)
BUT i did have ideas of what i wanted to do in each place like visit a certain landmark or museum, i just usually made a plan on the first day in each place which took at most an hour, you could also do it on the train!
Very helpful I'm only halfway through the vid but just wondering did you travel alone?
Oh wait just seen you went solo 👏
Love the girl in red in the bg!!!
i'm obsessed!
what do you do when you arrive in a new town so early in the morning at 4am?
i never really did arrive that early, i tried to time it so i arrived at least when cafes opened so i could wait in those before checking in
but if you have to, i guess you could wander around, wait in the train station or start planning you day??
what's the benefit of flying from the UK to Europe rather than just using the pass?
I was thinking of going by myself or with another person but when it comes to taking pictures of yourself how did you do it ? Sounds dumb but I’m curious 😂
JustBritney. i actually didn’t get many of myself, but just ask someone and i’m sure they’d help!
will i have to fill out all the whole pass before i travel or just for the trip that i would be on. like can i add the departure and destination as i travel ??
actually disregard comment, sorry :)) you answered it already in the video
I am german and yes it is flunkyball😂
Paris 55555 thank god! i thought i was going crazy 😅
Its Bierball!
Jawoll flunkyball, das ultimative sommerspiel
I don’t get the reservations of the Interrail trains, like what if I’m in Paris and I decide I wanted to stay longer I couldn’t because I’ve already reserved my train seat for the next location??
Fay neerg you don’t have to make reservations if you don’t want to, as long as you write the train time on your ticket you can get on the train BUT you might not get a seat if all of them are reserved ALSO you could be kicked off the train if it has too many people on
Does it cost money to reserve tickets with Interrail? And did you purchase a first or second class ticket? Thanks!
i think so but i'm not sure, the interrail website will tell you
and definitely second class! first is too expensive and the trains in europe are so nice that second class is very comfortable :)
@@CocoDay Thank you!!
where do you apply for it?
