The cost of a European Interrail pass<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are two categories of passes: the Interrail Global Pass and the One Country Pass. Prices range from \u20ac51 to \u20ac600, depending on the flexibility you need and\/or the number of days you wish to travel. If you\u2019re under 27 or over 60 years of age, you get a discount on your pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Interrail Global Pass – classic<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This pass is the crown jewel of them all: allows for travel to over 40,000 destinations in 33 European countries. There are several options – you may prefer to pay only for the number of days and flexibility you need for your trip, rather than invest in a long-term pass. From \u20ac 185<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interrail One Country Pass<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re set on conquering just one European country (that\u2019s part of the interrail system), this pass gives you complete access to your chosen destination\u2019s train lines. From \u20ac 51<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where to buy a European Interrail pass<\/strong>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\nPurchasing your Interrail pass online at interrail.eu<\/a> is by far the most convenient and affordable way to do it. The activation code is sent directly to your inbox, you then add and activate it on the Rail Planner app to get moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also purchase a pass at the ticket desk of selected stations, but it may come with some challenges. Because fewer are sold at the desks, some ticket officers may have little to no knowledge of the Interrail pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may prefer a paper pass, which can also be purchased online, but it\u2019s sent via post. This option will incur shipping costs and a delivery delay. You\u2019ll also need to select a start date at checkout, which will be the day your pass becomes valid for use. If you\u2019d like to change your start date, you\u2019ll need to exchange the pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to use the Interrail Pass at stations and ferry ports<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n $\"\"$

With a mobile pass, simply activate the pass on the Rail Planner app before your journey and scan at stations or ferry ports. The mobile Global Pass can be used up to 11 months after purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paper passes also come with a scannable barcode for access to trains and ferries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disadvantages of the Interrail Pass<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are very few disadvantages to the Interrail pass, especially if you opt for a mobile pass as it reduces the risk of loss or theft. There are obvious disadvantages to the paper pass, but in general, the Interrail pass is a highly convenient, affordable, and sustainable way to experience Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s always a good idea to think about how your travels affect people and the planet. Interrailing is indeed sustainable! Rail transport is the cleanest mode of transport compared to most other forms of transport! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
