Eligibility
Anyone can now buy an Interrail Global Pass, wherever they live. Since 10 September 2026, Eurail has retired its name and merged into Interrail globally — the pass that used to be sold as "Eurail" to residents outside Europe is now sold under the same Interrail name, at the same price. If you were expecting to buy a Eurail pass, you'll simply see it as "Interrail" at checkout (see our notes for overseas visitors).
The one thing your country of residence still affects: if you legally reside in one of the 33 network countries (the UK, EU member states, Switzerland, Norway, Serbia, Türkiye and others), your Global Pass also includes one free outbound and one free inbound journey within your home country, to get you to the border and back. Residents outside the network don't get that leg, since they don't have a "home country" inside the zone.
Coverage
The Global Pass covers national rail networks (and some partner ferries/buses) across nearly all of Europe, including France's SNCF network, Germany's DB, Italy's Trenitalia, Spain's Renfe, and more.
Austria · Belgium · Bosnia and Herzegovina · Bulgaria · Croatia · Czechia · Denmark · Finland · France · Germany · Greece · Hungary · Ireland · Italy · Luxembourg · Montenegro · the Netherlands · North Macedonia · Norway · Poland · Portugal · Romania · Serbia · Slovakia · Slovenia · Spain · Sweden · Switzerland · Türkiye · United Kingdom (Eurostar with reservation) and a few smaller networks. The exact list is confirmed at checkout, since operators occasionally join or leave the scheme.

Two shapes of pass, three age bands, two classes, one price list. Figures below are 2nd-class prices in EUR, cross-checked against the current (September 2026) Interrail price list — still confirm the live price for your exact dates, since seasonal promotions move these around.

Restrictions to plan around
High-speed and night trains — French TGV inOui and Ouigo, Italian Frecce, Thalys/Eurostar, most sleeper trains — need a paid seat reservation on top of the pass (in France: €5–10 on Ouigo Train Classique, €10–20 on TGV inOui and Ouigo, €19–25 for a night-train couchette; international trains cost more), booked separately and subject to limited pass-holder allocation.
A "travel day" runs midnight to midnight. Flexi passes must be activated in an app or paper pass before boarding; forgetting to mark a travel day can mean a fine on board.
Some purely commuter/local services and most metro/tram/urban transit systems are excluded.
Overnight departures after 7pm typically count against the following day, but always check the specific route rule.
The official Interrail site has the current season's pricing, exact travel-day rules and instant e-pass delivery.
