For decades, Eurail passes have been making travel affordable for residents of countries outside Europe. With a Eurail pass, you can take as many train trips as you wish inside your restricted area (which can be all 18 countries or smaller group of countries) for as long as your pass is valid.
Tourists benefit from Eurail passes because they simplify the train travelling process and can lower your costs significantly.
Should you buy a Eurail pass? It depends on your travel plans. If you intend to really hop around the continent, you could find huge savings. Conversely, if you plan to make just one or two trips between major cities, you need to do some research to determine if any rail pass will work to your advantage.
Standard Eurail passes are valid in 18 countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. Some versions of the pass extend into Slovenia and Croatia (counted as one country), and Bulgaria and Serbia & Montenegro (again counted as one country).
There are several variations of Eurailpass.
Eurailpasses fall into two types: consecutive day passes and flexible travel passes.
