Train Travel in Europe - Your options
Train travel in Europe is as common as car travel in North America. In Europe, every country has a dedicated rail service. But traveling through various countries can be challenging, given the different languages, different rules and all that organization. In 1959, a number of railway companies got together to create a single European rail pass, the ‘Eurail Pass’. With this pass, traveling between countries became easier, faster and more economical than ever before possible.
Why a Eurail pass?
The advantage of a Eurail pass is that if you decide to change your itinerary, you’re free to do so at a moment’s notice. And Eurail passes offer you a lot more:
- The more you travel, the more you save.

- Hop on and off the trains as you see fit.
- No waiting in long lines at the stations for tickets.
- Avoid buying tickets from machines in foreign languages.
