Hi,
I\'m planning an Interrail trip with the following route: Monterosso - Milan - Ljubljana - Heidelberg - Paris - Ghent - Amsterdam - Berlin and was wondering how much the reservation fees are. From Milan to Ljubljana I\'ll be taking a night train with a switch in Villach in the middle of the night. I\'m going to take a night train from Ljubljana to München as well and continue from there with another train to Heidelberg. I checked from the Rail Planner App that there are compulsory reservations on some parts but I do wonder where could I check the price estimation for these. I went interrailing once before mainly in Eastern Europe and there I didn\'t really have to think about this.

Hi and welcome to rail.cc,
in general you can find all reservation prices and information here:
[u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-train-reservation[/u] (day trains)
[u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-night-train[/u] (night trains)
Regarding you trip:
Monterosso - Milan: depends on train category; I recommend to travel with Intercity and/or regional trains where you can travel without a reservation
Milan - Ljubljana: Milan - Villach from 14€ (for a seat), Villach - Ljubljana from 5€ (for a seat), however I could imagine that you can get away without a seat reservation for this last leg
Ljubljana - Munich: From 5€ for a seat (night train Zagreb - Munich, see link above)
Munich - Heidelberg: ICE/IC/EC trains, no reservation needed
Heidelberg - Paris: Reservation required for the international train to France (ICE or TGV), 13€
Paris - Gent: Depends on route, I recommend to travel with regional trains: no reservation required. Thalys high speed train to Bruxelles, then IC to Gent: 20€; TGV high speed train to Lille, then IC to Gent: 10€ or 20€, depending on when you book; blog: [u]https://rail.cc/blog/thalys-paris-cologne/[/u]
Gent - Amsterdam: I recommend to travel with Intercity trains as explained here: [u]https://rail.cc/blog/amsterdam-brussels-train/[/u]: no reservation required; alternatively with Thalys train from Brussels or Antwerpen: 15€
Amsterdam - Berlin: no reservation required: [ux]https://rail.cc/blog/amsterdam-berlin/[/ux]
In general: You can easily travel the whole route without reservations except the trip from Heidelberg to Paris and the Milan to Ljubljana trip. On this trip I would also think about travelling during the day to avoid changing trains in the middle of the night.
If you have more questions just ask, were are glad to help. :)
