How do I use the Eurail Pass? Which app do I need?

Last updated:2025/08/27

You’ll need to download the dedicated app “Rail Planner” to use your Eurail Pass on your mobile device.  

Download: iPhone| Android  

Once you receive your pass, you must first activate it within the Rail Planner App using your pass number.  

After activation, you’ll need to add each train journey you plan to take to your pass within the app. Only the train journeys added to your pass are valid for travel.  

 

! Note: The app interface is currently only available in English. If a train requires seat reservations, you’ll need to pay extra to reserve a seat.

Bonus from GoByTrain: When you purchase your pass from us, we’ll provide you with step-by-step written and video guides to help you understand how to use the pass. We also offer one free in-person workshop (in Taipei) to walk you through the Rail Planner App so you can travel with confidence and peace of mind!
