Family discounts

Children under 4 on their first day of travel, travel for free and do not need an Eurail Pass. On crowded trains, parents may be requested to put the child on their lap, as they are not guaranteed their own seat.

If you would like a seat for your child you must reserve a seat in advance; however, a free Eurail Child Pass is required to make a seat reservation. You can get 2 free Eurail Child Passes ( for children aged 0-11) with your Eurail Adult Pass.

On night trains, it is necessary to reserve and pay for a separate couchette or sleeper if you would like your child to have its own bed.

Children aged 4-11 on their first day of travel, also go for free! They need a free Eurail Child Pass, which you can find under the tab 'Family' in all pass tables.

To order a free child pass, it's necessary to add at least one adult pass to the shopping cart. Go to the tab 'Family' in the pass table to select your adult passes and child passes. A maximum of two children can travel for free with one adult.

If more than two children are traveling with one adult, a separate Youth Pass needs to be purchased for the additional children.
