What Is An Interrail Pass?

Interrailing is a way of travelling around Europe by train using a pre-paid pass. The Interrail Pass provides unlimited travel on most train networks throughout Europe at a single, fixed price. The pass grants access to 35 railway and ferry companies across 33 countries. In most cases, you can simply show your pass on your phone when boarding a train.

Who can buy an Interrail Pass?

The Interrail Pass is for European citizens – don’t worry that includes the UK.

Also, there’s a common misconception that you have to be a young person to use an Interrail Pass – that’s not true! Anyone of any age can get an Interrail Pass, but the cost will differ based on the years under your belt.

What are the different types of Interrail Pass?

Interrail offers two types of passes: the One Country Pass and the Global Pass.

With the One Country Pass, you can explore a single country, while the Global Pass lets you travel across and between 33 countries. This is the better option if you’re planning to visit multiple countries in one trip.

Whether you pick a One Country or Global Pass, you’ll also need to choose the number of days you want it for. There are two types – flexi passes which grant you a specific number of days of travel within a wider time period, or continuous passes which give you a certain number of days of consecutive travel.

The amount you can save will vary depending on the sale, but you can expect to get 10-20% off for special one off sales, and up to 25% off for major sales around events like Black Friday or anniversaries.
