Europe by Train

Europe by Train

Of course, we have spent all days speaking about air travel, air travel and air travel. In the end, it gives the feeling that we've lost the ground!! Of course, we can't underestimate the road and rail travel, and today I will briefly speak about rail.

Europe rail system was an expensive one. But, as many things in life, when competition arises, you are forced to drop the prices and offer something that gives a clear competitive advantage. That was what happened when low cost arrived to Europe and began being a reality, not just a cool expression.

Right now, different possibilities have opened to the consumer, either if you are European or not. Of course, internally, things always work better for us, as we have access to the inter-rail, a pass that was modified recently, from a simple and easy to understand approach that made real fanatics of this way of traveling, to a new "sophisticated" appearance that made all us spend some hours trying to understand the basics.

Yes, inter-rail has changed, freedom has supposedly been given, but at same time prices have gone up with the new rules, and some limitations have been placed that no longer allow unlimited travel.

Remember, this option is only for Europeans, and you will find all the details in the INTERRAIL official page

But hey! You are not European, and of course it also exists somthing for you. Eurail is a good way to travel within Europe and you can find options for almost everything. There are global passes that will allow you a determined number of trips within a certain time. Also you can find one country passes, 2 country and even 3 country passes. They also can be organized by region, such as the Nordics, Benelux, Eastern Europe, etc. To see detailed information on that one, you can take a look at the EURAIL official page

When looking at those options, either for interrail and eurail, please keep in mind that they normally offer big discounts in local transport, buses, and specially discounted or even free ferry connections. Take a look at what includes the price you are paying, and you will get the most out of it.

That's all for today, of course we will go in further detail on this topic in posts to come. For now, have a happy train traveling!
