Traveling around Europe by train? All you need is one ticket – the InterRail Global Pass. Until October 31, 2015, it is about 15 percent cheaper.
InterRail is an offer for people planning a train trip around Europe. All you need is one ticket – the InterRail Global Pass – to use all trains in 30 European countries within a selected period. Now, until October 31, InterRail Global Pass tickets are on average 15 percent cheaper if purchased through the www.interrailnet.eu website. Discounts range from 62 to nearly 150 euros.
The ticket for all of Europe (Global Pass) is available in two options – flexi and continuous. In the first case, it entitles you to travel for 5 out of 10 or 10 out of 22 days specified at the time of purchase. The second option (continuous) allows for travel for 15, 22 days, or a month. In addition to the standard price list, the InterRail Global Pass offers discounted tickets for children, youth under 26 (2nd class only), and seniors (+60).
Travelers can also choose so-called One Country Pass tickets. These are only available in the flexi option. Variants for 3, 4, 6, and 8 days are available.
The idea of creating a single ticket was born in 1972 as a “joint, solidarity gesture” by 21 carriers towards young people. In subsequent years, the initiative became so popular that it was decided to make it available to people over 21. In 1991, Polish State Railways joined the InterRail program. Currently, 30 countries participate in it. In addition to trains, the tickets are also valid on some buses and ferries, and additionally entitle holders to discounts in hostels and free admission to museums.
Every year, over 200,000 Europeans use the InterRail ticket, 80 percent of whom are youth and students. About 1,500 people from Poland decide on such a trip. InterRail tickets can be purchased in Poland at international ticket offices and online. The full price list can be found at www.intercity.pl.
