Answer First

Interrail costs from €212 to €1,242 for a Global Pass

The exact price depends on age group, travel class, and whether you choose a Flexi Pass or Continuous Pass. Children aged 0-11 can travel free with a Child Pass when accompanied under the official rules, but reservations for seats or beds can still cost extra.

This guide covers the Interrail Global Pass. One Country Pass prices vary by country, so treat those as a separate calculation.

Flexi Pass

You get a set number of travel days inside a wider validity window, such as 7 travel days within 1 month. Use it when you plan to stay several nights in each city.

Continuous Pass

You can travel every day during the pass validity, such as 15 days in a row or 1 month in a row. Use it when you expect frequent travel days.

2nd class vs 1st class

A 2nd class pass is valid only in 2nd class. A 1st class pass is valid in both 1st and 2nd class carriages where those classes are available.

Youth, Adult, Senior, Child

Youth covers ages 12-27, Adult covers 28-59, Senior covers 60+, and children aged 0-11 can travel free under the child-pass rules.

Included

What is included in an Interrail Global Pass?

Think of the pass as your rail travel entitlement on participating networks, not as an all-inclusive trip package.

  • Train travel with participating rail companies in the countries covered by the Interrail Global Pass.
  • Travel in your country of residence for one outbound journey and one inbound journey on travel days.
  • Unlimited journeys on each active travel day, as long as the train company participates and the pass is valid there.
  • Participating ferry and public transport companies where Interrail validity is explicitly accepted.
  • Discounts and pass-holder benefits where Interrail partners offer them.
  • Mobile Pass use in the Rail Planner app, or paper pass use if that is the format you buy.
Not Included

What costs extra?

This is where many Interrail budgets go wrong. The pass is flexible, but not every train is reservation-free.

  • Seat reservations for many high-speed trains, direct trains, and busy routes.
  • Night train reservations, couchettes, sleepers, and private compartments.
  • Accommodation, food, activities, insurance, lockers, and city transport not covered by participating operators.
  • Extra domestic journeys in your country of residence beyond the outbound and inbound journeys.
  • Tickets on non-participating trains, buses, ferries, or metro systems.
  • Extra children beyond the free-child allowance for each accompanying eligible traveller.
Budget Formula

How to estimate the real cost of an Interrail trip

Start with the pass, then add the travel choices that are easy to forget. A low pass price can become expensive if the route relies on reservation-heavy trains.

Pass + reservations + daily travel costs

Your practical budget is the pass price plus reservations, night-train beds, accommodation, food, lockers, city transport, activities, insurance, and any point-to-point tickets you buy outside the pass.

Are children free on Interrail?

Does the Interrail Pass include seat reservations?

Is 1st class Interrail worth it?

Should I choose a Flexi Pass or Continuous Pass?

Choose a Flexi Pass if you have several city stays and only travel on selected days. Choose a Continuous Pass if you expect to travel nearly every day during the pass period.

Can I use Interrail in my own country?
