About

The Interrail Pass is a rail pass available to European citizens and residents. Citizens of other countries residing outside Europe may purchase the Eurail Pass instead. Types of Interrail Pass include the Interrail Global Pass and the Interrail One Country Pass. The pass allows unlimited rail travel in all 33 participating countries for a certain period of time. High-speed trains and night trains often require a paid seat reservation. The Interrail One Country Pass allows unlimited rail travel within one European country. The concept of a pan-European rail pass originated in the late 19th century and evolved into the international Rundreise System which existed prior to World War I. The concept was revived after World War II in the form of the Eurail Pass in 1959 for international tourists and the Interrail pass in 1972 for Europeans. Read more
