  1. I love traveling by train around Europe, so getting a Eurorail ticket would be a great idea. Especially in Scandinavia, where traveling by train is so pricey.

  2. Looks at those huskies! Super round up here Natalie and Robson. Seems like many trains I have traveled on around the world require reservations; they fill up so quickly since in many cases, trains are a comfier alternative than buses or cabs.

  3. I traveled from Saint Petersburg Russia to Helsinki and back on a 2 day trip this past February – Easy/ carefree way to get there, no issues – I agree, the train in Europe truly is a great option!
    Thanks for posting all your information – very helpful!
    🙂

  4. Thanks for a great read! You have inspired us to travel by train around Scandanavia this Christmas 2018. Is the train station signage in English throughout Scandanavia & do you have any recommendations for travelling with a baby on the train? Eg 1st class, cabin etc

    Thanks for your guidance ?

    • Hi Sarah,
      We could get along with English all the way. Recommend to download Google Translator and the languages of the countries you will be traveling through. The stations have English signs but not all restaurants 😉
      1st class will definitely offer you and your baby extra comfort.
      Cheers,

  5. Is the Russian portion of the trip from Saint Petersburg to Helsinki included? If not how does one handle that?

    • Hi John,
      No, the Eurail pass is not valid in Russia. You will need to buy a regular ticket for that journey. Or check if you can go to the border (I think the city is Vainikkala) with your Eurail pass and buy a ticket to St Pete from there, might be cheaper.
      Cheers,

  6. Hello,
    very useful information =)
    wanted to check, does euroRail pass covers the city train pass? if i would stay in stockholm for 2 days, the pass can be used?
    Thanks,

  7. Wow ! Great Info. I am planning about 2-3 weeks in Scandinavia and would love to do the train to see the beautiful scenery. One question I have is: When you book an overnighter does the sleeper car come with the original price ? or do you pay more for a sleeper??

  8. We’re going from Copenhagen to Nybro and Kalmar in southeastern Sweden, then to Stockholm over a 1 and 1/2 week period. I had some trouble with the Eurail website, trying to see if there are trains available to get us to Kalmar, etc. Yet when I went on Rome2Rio site, it shows trains running from CPH central train station to Kalmar. Does the Scandinavian Pass cover all train routes, like the one I mentioned?

  9. Another question: Can we take our regular airline-type baggage with us on the train? Are there folks working by the train that can help us? We’re in our 70’s.

  10. Super useful guide to start my first time 12 days Scandinavia trip!! thank you for those good information.

  11. I am from malaysia. I will be travelling to finland, sweden, denmark, german and poland. We planned to purcahse the eura global pass. How to purchase the pass?

  12. Does the Scandinavian eurail pass overlap months. We will want to travel at the end of May and into early June. Would we need a global eurail pass?

  13. Thank you for the excellent information. I am sold on the Scandinavian Eurail Pass by your article. However, I do not plan to visit Finland (basically 2 trips between Oslo-Coppenhagen-Stockholm). Is it still worth it? Related question – can it be used for anything else? Thank you.
