InterRail and InterRailing

InterRailing through Europe is a great way to see a number of countries and the continent, so 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.

Essentially, InterRailing's an open ticket that gives you unlimited travel around Europe. With an InterRail ticket you can go where you want, when you want, 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.
