InterRail was established in 1972 and since then generations of backpackers have explored Europe with the freedom that an InterRail pass offers. We asked some of our travellers why they love InterRail so much and here's what they said...
Josie Price (21, Bradford, England)
Route: Venice – Florence – Pisa – Siena – Diepenau – Berlin – Dusseldorf"I love InterRail because I've had the chance to see some of the most incredible sights and cities in Europe, that otherwise I wouldn't have been able to afford to see!"
Key to Europe
InterRail is your key to discovering more about Europe’s culture, history and nature. With an InterRail Global Pass you can take as many trains as you want on each travel day, giving you the chance to taste many of Europe's great delights.
Sebastian Chevalier (24, Toulouse, France)
Route: Innsbruck – Venice – Sienna – Lucca – Pisa – Florence – Cannes – Monaco – Nice – Figueras – Rosas – Barcelona – Paris – Antwerp"I love InterRail because it offered us a great diversity in places, people and sights. We visited over 15 cities across Europe in under 4 weeks!"

Vincent van den Belt (33, Amsterdam, Netherlands)
Route: Amsterdam – Hamburg – Berlin – Warsaw – Krakow – Prague – Vienna – Budapest – Zagreb – Split – Mostar – Sarajevo – Belgrade"I love InterRail because with InterRail you can go wherever you want, whenever you want! It is the ultimate sense of freedom!"
Flexible travel
An InterRail Global Pass gives you access to 30 European countries and gives you the freedom to plan your trip as you want and to break plans and be spontaneaous. Maybe you make friends with some other travellers and fancy changing your route, or you get a great travel tip from a backpacker you meet on the train and decide to go there instead of following your original route.
David McCormack (22, Glasgow, UK)
Route: Zurich – Venice – München – Berlin"I love InterRail because you just sit down and enjoy the scenery. Also taking night trains saved me money and travel time."
Comfortable travel
The train itself has plenty of benefits to offer you. From the comfort of your train seat you can admire the landscape as it passes you by and get a sample of how the scenery changes. If you take a night train you also save time and money by doing your travelling and sleeping in one go!
Charlotte Clayson (29, London, England)
Route: Paris – Versailles – Épernay – Blois – Angers – Lyons – Chamonix – Nice – Monaco – Ventimiglia – Pisa – Florence – Perugia – Assisi – Rome – Naples"I love InterRail because you get to meet new people and make friends from different parts of the world. I got back from my InterRail trip two months ago and I'm already planning a trip to Amsterdam to visit a Dutch girl I met in my hostel in Rome!"
Meet locals and travellers
One of the highlights of InterRailing across Europe is that you get to meet locals in the countries you visit and you also meet other travellers along the way from other countries across the world.
