Eurail

European train pass

Eurail is a rail pass system allowing unlimited train travel across European countries for a set period.

Marketed primarily to non-European tourists, the passes cover national railways in dozens of participating countries: We bought a Eurail pass and spent a month hopping between cities.

The system has existed since 1959, making European rail travel accessible without booking individual tickets.
