Hi! I was told that night trains will require reservations... Problem is I don't know where to do it =S I'll need night trains from Rome to Paris (i found Artesia night train), Paris to Madrid, and Madrid do Lisbon (i know Lusitania Hotel Train)... If someone know where i can reserve it please say something thanks

Hi!

If you know the dates for Paris - Madrid and especially Madrid - Lisboa already then you can do it at a CP station. In principle you can make reservations for all these trains at staffed railway stations in western/central mainland europe. Ie Milano Centrale, Roma Termini, Paris Bercy/Lyon/Austerlitz etc, Madrid Atocha/Chamartin...
However the reservation for the Lusitania could make troubles in other countries than Spain or Portugal. It sometimes works, sometimes doesnt...

Oh, and if you want to save a little money on the Paris - Madrid route have a look at the bottom of the link: paris-madrid-night-train-t1133.html

If you prefer reservations by Internet, go to www.tgv-europe.ch/fr/billet-train - despite its focus on TGV, it offers seat/bed reservations on night trains as well, as long as they touch France somehow (so not sure for the Lusitania)

Alternatively, go to www.renfe.es/. There the Lusitania is for sure.

just on problem: i have interrail ticket so where can i reserve by the internet? tgv-europe.ch/fr/billet-train this is a good site but it doesn't have the interrail ticket option, i would have to buy a normal ticket (very expensive).... If i would reserve in the station where it departs two days earlier do you think there would be possible?
