Travelling around Europe by rail is very popular. However, there are two categories of rail passes you can use to do this: Eurail passes and Interrail passes. In this blog post we explain the key differences between these two European rail passes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interrail vs Eurail passes: Who can use which pass?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Interrail passes can be used by citizens and residents of Europe – Eurail passes are for everyone else! You can see more about whether you should get an Interrail or Eurail pass here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interrail vs Eurail passes: Where are the different places you can travel using your pass?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As of 2019, the Eurail pass now lets you travel in up to 31 European countries. The United Kingdom, Macedonia and Lithuania have been added. More information on that here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This now matches the offering of the Interrail pass. And like Interrail, you can get a discount on the Eurostar – read more about this in our FAQs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notable exclusions from both Interrail and Eurail are: Latvia, Estonia, Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia. Other than that and what’s mentioned above, pretty much every major European country is covered by both rail passes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interrail vs Eurail passes: What different types of pass are available<\/strong>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For Interrail and Eurail, you can get \u2018One Country<\/a>\u2019 and \u2018Global<\/a>\u2019 passes. As you\u2019d expect, a One Country pass lets you travel in a single country of your choosing. A Global Pass, on the other hand, lets you travel in any and all of the countries available on the Interrail or Eurail pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 2019, the Eurail Select pass has been discontinued and the Global pass offering has been improved, with a lower price point too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For all pass types, there is a discounted \u2018Youth\u2019 option (which is for anyone aged 27 or under), and you can choose between 1st and 2nd class train travel. There\u2019s also a 10% discount for over 60s for both Interrail and Eurail passes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, there we have it! The key differences between Interrail and Eurail passes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Know which one you need? Then buy your Eurail<\/a> or Interrail<\/a> pass, and start using Eurail Planner<\/a> or Interrail Planner<\/a> to plan your trip now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
