Are seat reservations required?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, seat reservations are required for certain train routes and services in Europe. While it is not mandatory for all trains, it is highly recommended to reserve seats, especially during peak travel periods and on long-distance journeys. Reserving a seat ensures a guaranteed spot and avoids the risk of standing or not finding available seats. Seat reservations are particularly necessary for high-speed trains, overnight trains, and scenic routes. They can be easily arranged through Rail Europe's website, customer service, or at the train station ticket offices. Costs for seat reservations may vary depending on the country, train type, and class of service. It is advisable to check the specific requirements and availability of seat reservations for the desired train route prior to travel.
