What is Interrail?
Interrail is one of the most flexible ways to discover Europe. With an Interrail Pass, you can travel by train through 33 European countries and decide for yourself what your journey looks like. Explore iconic major cities, charming small towns, coastal cities, and scenic landscapes — all with one and the same pass.
One pass – multiple destinations
The Interrail Pass works as your travel ticket on most trains included in the Interrail network. You therefore don't need to buy new train tickets for each journey, but can use the same pass when travelling between your chosen destinations. On some trains, a seat reservation is required, which is booked separately.
The freedom to travel your way
Travelling with Interrail is about more than getting from one place to another. It's about the freedom to stay a little longer when you find a city you love, discover new places along the way, and enjoy the journey just as much as the destination.
Whether you dream of a rail adventure through multiple countries, a weekend in Europe's major cities, or a trip filled with nature, culture, and new encounters — there is an Interrail Pass that suits your journey.

How do travel days work?
A travel day is a calendar day on which you use your Interrail Pass to travel. During a travel day you can travel on as many trains as you like, from 00:00 to 23:59.
If you have, for example, a pass with 7 travel days, you choose which 7 days you want to travel within the validity period of the pass.
Example of a travel day:
You travel from Paris to Amsterdam and change trains several times during the day. Regardless of how many trains you use, it counts as one travel day, since all journeys take place on the same calendar day.
If you travel on a night train, normally only the departure day counts as a travel day, provided you do not change trains after midnight.
How do I start planning my Interrail trip?
Planning an Interrail trip doesn't have to be complicated. Start by thinking about where you want to go, how long you want to be away, and which destinations you want to experience.
Once you have a rough travel plan it becomes easier to choose the right Interrail Pass. If you're travelling through several countries a Global Pass is the way to go, while a One Country Pass is a great choice if you want to explore a single country.
If you choose a Flexi Pass you need to think about how many days you will actually be travelling by train. If you instead choose a Continuous Pass you can travel unlimited every day throughout the chosen validity period.
You don't need to plan every detail in advance. One of the great advantages of Interrail is the freedom to change your travel plans along the way and discover new destinations whenever the mood strikes.
