All ticketed passengers may carry up to three pieces of luggage. The largest piece of luggage may not exceed 85 x 55 x 35 cm (height-width-depth). The total weight of the three items of luggage may not exceed 25kg.

On the Eurail and most European train networks, luggage policies are far more relaxed than those of airlines. The general rule in 2026 is that you can bring up to three pieces of luggage per person (usually two large suitcases and one smaller piece of hand luggage). There is no official weight limit, provided that you are physically able to carry your own bags onto the train and store them yourself. However, specific operators have guidelines: Eurostar limits adults to two bags (up to 85cm) and one hand luggage, while French TGV trains may technically require you to be able to carry all your bags at once. Most trains provide overhead racks for smaller items and dedicated luggage stacks at the ends of each carriage for larger suitcases. While you won't be charged extra for "heavy" bags like on a plane, it is vital to remember that European stations often have stairs and narrow platforms, so packing more than you can comfortably lift and maneuver on your own is the primary practical constraint.
