Buying and scheduling was easy. It was used in Switzerland and Italy with no questions asked. It is the cheapest way to travel. For trains which needs reservation, a separate payment is needed but also not expensive and also easy to do. This is the best option for travellers to Switzerland and accross Europe that does not opt for rental cars.

We found it very good, easy to use and in seconds you have all the possible combinations with the schedules. I took it for 10 days and had no problems with schedules and train combinations. I traveled through 3 countries without any inconvenience. Although on the high speed trains you have to pay for the seats, you still have to live with the costs. Believe me you save a lot of money.

Getting an agent to assist me was impossible and did not happen The Robot kept asking ne fir my pass ID and last name after I entered it numerous times. I wast trying to place to pass on hold when I was not using it, but I could not located how to use the app to place the pass on hold. My experience so far is extremely disappointing

-- THE BEST NETWORK & SERVICE -- I visited Malaysia(Langkawi, Kuala Lumpur), Singapore and Indonesia recently for 12 Days and purchased this eSim and it worked perfectly. As soon as I landed to foreign land, it got activated and provided smooth 4G (Malaysia, Indonesia) and 5G (Singapore) networks. As it comes with Unlimited Data Plan, I was worry free using this network ON 24 hours. Thanks a lot for this.

What is Eurail Pass

The Eurail Pass is an all-in-one mobile train pass designed for non-European residents, granting access to the rail systems in 33 European countries. With this pass, you can travel by train to over 40,000 destinations, from bustling cities to charming villages. It covers all major railway companies, high-speed, night, and panoramic trains as well as select ferries and public transport.

Ideal for those planning an extensive journey through Europe, the Eurail Pass provides a flexible and cost-effective travel solution. With multiple duration options available, every traveler can find a perfect pass for their European adventure.

Note: European residents can enjoy a similar experience by booking Interrail Pass

3 reasons why you need a Eurail Pass

Savings over multiple journeys with the Eurail Train Pass

1. Savings over multiple journeys!

If you plan to travel across multiple countries or take several long-distance trips, a Eurail Pass can offer significant savings compared to purchasing individual tickets for each journey, particularly when booked at the last minute.

Eurail Pass Planning flexibility

2. Planning flexibility

The option to book trains just days in advance without incurring financial penalties is a major advantage, especially when compared to the steep costs of last-minute tickets as it can be higher by 3 to 5 times.

Eurail Pass Convenience

3. Convenience

With a Eurail Pass, all your train tickets are conveniently stored in your mobile phone. Just activate the pass and hop on a train. While some trains require reservations, the majority can be boarded without any prior booking.

How to choose your Eurail pass

With so many options for Europe train passes, selecting the right one might seem overwhelming. This section provides a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the decision-making process and choose the Eurail Pass that best suits your travel plans.

1. Eurail vs. Interrail

Your choice between a Eurail and Interrail Pass depends on your passport and residency.

  • Interrail: Eligible for citizens or residents of European countries, including the UK.
  • Eurail: Eligible for citizens or legal residents of countries outside of Europe.

2. Global vs. One-Country Pass

This decision hinges on how many countries you plan to visit.

  • Eurail Global Pass: Best for exploring multiple European countries.
  • Eurail One-Country Pass: Perfect for focusing on one country’s train network.

3. Flexi vs. Continuous Pass

Choose based on your travel schedule.

  • Flexi Pass: Offers flexibility to travel on non-consecutive days - 4/5/7-day pass with a 30-day validity or 10/15-day pass with a 60-day validity
  • Continuous Pass: Suitable for consecutive days of travel - 15/22 Day passes or 1/2/3 Month passes

4. 1st vs. 2nd Class

Decide on the type of experience you want.

  • 1st Class: More comfort with spacious seating, quieter carriages, and additional amenities.
  • 2nd Class: Budget-friendly with standard seating and essential amenities.

What’s covered by Eurail Pass?

The Eurail Pass gives you access to 33 countries, including popular spots like France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and Spain. It covers major rail operators such as SNCF, SBB, Trenitalia, Deutsche Bahn, and NS, offering plenty of travel options for every type of traveler.

Step 2: Select the right Eurail Pass

Once your itinerary is set, it’s time to select the right Eurail Pass for your journey. Decide how many days you’ll be traveling and pick a Flexi Pass (non-consecutive days) or a Continuous Pass (consecutive days). You don’t need exact travel dates right away—your Eurail Pass is valid for 11 months from the purchase date. If your plans change, you can cancel easily for a full refund.

Step 3: Reserve Your Seats

Remember, seat reservations aren’t included in your pass, and fees vary depending on the train and route. For high-speed trains, the average price is €10-15, and for night trains, it’s around €20. Check out our Eurail Seat Reservation Guide for step-by-step instructions.

Step 4: Activate your pass & begin your journey

With your itinerary set and reservations made, you’re ready to start your journey.

  • Mobile pass activation: Your Eurail Pass is digital, so there’s no need to print anything. Simply activate it on your phone through the Eurail app.
  • Show the QR code: When boarding a train, show the QR code in the app to the train inspector for verification.
