InterRail trips through Europe are a great way to see the continent. If you're thinking about InterRailing then you've come to the right place. We'll give you the best information and everything you need to know on InterRailing - after all, an InterRail or Eurail pass is the best way to see Europe by train.

Essentially, InterRailing's an open ticket that gives you unlimited travel around Europe. You can go where you want, when you want with an InterRail ticket, and its fantastic value for money.

There are two types of InterRail passes. Either a 'global pass', which allows you unlimited travel between the 30 participating countries, or a 'one-country pass', which allows you unlimited travel within that one country of your choice. You don’t need to buy point-to-point tickets, InterRail passes saving you time and money.

Either pass allows you to see a lot of one country or a lot of Europe in a limited amount of time.

Whilst InterRailing, you'll be able to see the majesty of Berlin; walk through the cobbled-streets of Budapest; visit the small cafes in Ljubljana; stand under the Eifel Tower in Paris; and imagine the gladiatorial contests at the Colosseum in Rome.  You can do all of these and more InterRailing...
