Hello, there!
I\'m going to start an Interrail from Rome to Bergen, A/R :)
I have a problem with trains reservations.
Via DeBahn, I signed which trains will need compulsory reservation, but my doubt is: where do I get these reservations? For each train I cannot go to the company\'s site, because I cannot find where to set I have an Interrail pass, so I always get normal costs, instead of those 3, 4€. The only reservation I found is on night train between Oslo and Bergen (7€).
My question is: may I get reservations in train stations? (with a day of advance, not on the same day)
Please, can you help me?
Trains with compulsory reservations I\'ll get:
Praha - Krakow
Krakow - Warszawa
Warszawa - Berlin
Koebenhavn - Stockholm
Stockholm - Oslo
(Oslo - Bergen [night])
Oslo - Hamburg
Trains with suggested reservations I\'ll get:
Monaco - Wien
Wien - Praha
Amsterdam - Bern (Switzerland)

Hi!
Thanks for supporting us by buying through [ux]https://rail.shop/interrail[/ux] :)
The standard way to buy reservations is at a railway station. You can normally buy also reservations for foreign countries (ie you can buy Warsaw - Berlin in Prague already).
Prague - Krakow: Buy locally in Prague
Krakow - Warsaw: Buy locally in Krakow: Domestic reservations are free of charge in Poland
Warsaw - Berlin: Buy in Krakow or Warsaw
Copenhagen - Stockholm: Recommended to buy in Berlin already
Stockholm - Oslo: In Berlin, Copenhagen or Stockholm
Oslo - Hamburg: No reservation needed. How do you want to travel?
Monaco (German Monaco right?) - Wien: No reservation needed
Wien - Prague: No reservation needed
Amsterdam - Bern: No reservation needed, but the ICE from Amsterdam to Germany can be quite busy so if you want to make sure to get a seat, make a reservation (but not in Amsterdam since they will charge you extra booking fees in the Netherlands). Personally I wouldn't get one.
Have a nice trip! :)

Man, you've been very kind and helpful.
I guess it could have been a trivial question, but it's very complicate to understand everything through Interrail's page; on the contrary, this forum is fantastic, I had just this doubt that I couldn't figure out through any post I read.
I hope I'll be helpful too when I'll finish my Interrail.
Thank you!

You're welcome mate! Thanks for the kind words.
Many things dont look that easy at first but as soon as you'll hit the rails everything will be fine. And the best thing is to ask if anthing is unclear.
It'd be great to hear from your experiences, especially up north in Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
