*Reservation highly recommended.
**Mandatory on some connections, optional but highly reccommended on other connections
***It is highly recommended to make reservations beforehand. When making a reservation at the train station counter, even though possible, busy trains might already by fully booked by then.
***Although reservations for Leo Express are free with a Eurail pass, they are still mandatory. You won't be allowed to travel on Leo Express trains without booking the free seat reservation beforehand.
