Online European timetables
We recommend the European timetable offered by the German railways.
Or you can use the ÖBB timetable below by entering your destination and departure date.
The ÖBB also offers the option to download a specific schedule as a PDF.
Average travel times
This map shows the train travel time in hours between popular InterRail destinations.
National timetables
For specific schedules of national trains, you can consult the websites of national railway companies.
You may find local trains not listed in the international timetables.
Finding times at the station
Departure schedules and platforms are posted at displays on all train stations. Larger stations also have computerised boards that provide up-to-the-minute information. The station platforms also have displays confirming the next train's departure time and destination.
Printed timetables
We recommend the European Rail Timetables by Thomas Cook Publishing. An updated version is published twice a year, in summer and winter.
You can download a concise timetable booklet from the Eurail.Com website. Most info also applies to InterRailers. This timetable is printed only once a year, so check an online timetable too.
Printed timetable books of most European countries can be ordered from the Timetable Distribution Center, St. Gallen, Switzerland.
