Train types

There are a variety of different train types in Europe each offering its ownadvantages and unique travel experiences

Local trainsEasy relaxed and intimate ndash that sums up the atmosphere of the countlesslocal trains that you will find throughout Europe Some of them only have2nd class cars Nowhere else will you get a better feel for the local people andEuropean life than on these trains that weave their way from town to towntaking the locals to work market or play

Express day trains There is also a full schedule of domestic and international trains that makefewer stops than local trains and get you to your destination more quickly

These are generally called InterCity (IC) or EuroCity (EC) trains These trainssometimes require a seat reservation

High-speed trainsWant to cover a long distance really fast or as luxuriously as possible Thereare many high-speed services that criss-cross Europe ndash all of them withcomfortable 1st and 2nd class cars and catering services Seat reservations areusually required and additional costs must be paid On the InterRail Map HighSpeed lines are indicated by a purple or green line

Legendary scenic rail routesEurope is bursting with picturesque scenery that can be enjoyed from anytype of train But there are numerous train routes that are legendary for themagnificent vistas they pass through InterRail Passes are valid for many ofthem or entitle you to a discount Reservations are sometimes required ndash theyare always highly recommended See the back of the InterRail Map for a sampleof Europersquos most scenic routes

Night trainsNight trains run between many major European cities and offer a variety ofsleeping options for different budgets Most of them require reservations anda supplement payment for the sleeping accommodation but you can end upsaving money since the supplement you pay can cost less than a hotel roomwould have Some overnight trains offer reclining seats (generally only 2ndclass) starting at euro5 Most offer standard couchettes as well as more luxurioussleepers with the supplement ranging in price from euro15 to euro69

Couchettes are compartments with four open bunks in 1st class and four or sixopen bunks in 2nd class These are shared with other passengers of both sexesand people generally sleep in their day clothes A sheet blanket and pillow are

provided Sleepers offer more comfort and privacy (one or two passengers in1st class and two or three in 2nd class) and usually have a private wash basin

They are allocated exclusively for either men or women unless your partyoccupies all the beds in the compartment

Sleep tightOn night trains ticket and passport checks are sometimes conducted whileyou are sleeping It is therefore quite common for the car attendant to collectyour InterRail Pass and passport (or travel ID) for border formalities so youwonrsquot have to be disturbed Your documents will be returned to you in themorning Just double-check that you have been given the right documentsback

Train types

There are a variety of different train types in Europe each offering its ownadvantages and unique travel experiences

Local trainsEasy relaxed and intimate ndash that sums up the atmosphere of the countlesslocal trains that you will find throughout Europe Some of them only have2nd class cars Nowhere else will you get a better feel for the local people andEuropean life than on these trains that weave their way from town to towntaking the locals to work market or play

Express day trains There is also a full schedule of domestic and international trains that makefewer stops than local trains and get you to your destination more quickly

These are generally called InterCity (IC) or EuroCity (EC) trains These trainssometimes require a seat reservation

High-speed trainsWant to cover a long distance really fast or as luxuriously as possible Thereare many high-speed services that criss-cross Europe ndash all of them withcomfortable 1st and 2nd class cars and catering services Seat reservations areusually required and additional costs must be paid On the InterRail Map HighSpeed lines are indicated by a purple or green line

Legendary scenic rail routesEurope is bursting with picturesque scenery that can be enjoyed from anytype of train But there are numerous train routes that are legendary for themagnificent vistas they pass through InterRail Passes are valid for many ofthem or entitle you to a discount Reservations are sometimes required ndash theyare always highly recommended See the back of the InterRail Map for a sampleof Europersquos most scenic routes

Night trainsNight trains run between many major European cities and offer a variety ofsleeping options for different budgets Most of them require reservations anda supplement payment for the sleeping accommodation but you can end upsaving money since the supplement you pay can cost less than a hotel roomwould have Some overnight trains offer reclining seats (generally only 2ndclass) starting at euro5 Most offer standard couchettes as well as more luxurioussleepers with the supplement ranging in price from euro15 to euro69

Couchettes are compartments with four open bunks in 1st class and four or sixopen bunks in 2nd class These are shared with other passengers of both sexesand people generally sleep in their day clothes A sheet blanket and pillow are

provided Sleepers offer more comfort and privacy (one or two passengers in1st class and two or three in 2nd class) and usually have a private wash basin

They are allocated exclusively for either men or women unless your partyoccupies all the beds in the compartment

Sleep tightOn night trains ticket and passport checks are sometimes conducted whileyou are sleeping It is therefore quite common for the car attendant to collectyour InterRail Pass and passport (or travel ID) for border formalities so youwonrsquot have to be disturbed Your documents will be returned to you in themorning Just double-check that you have been given the right documentsback

Local trainsEasy relaxed and intimate ndash that sums up the atmosphere of the countlesslocal trains that you will find throughout Europe Some of them only have2nd class cars Nowhere else will you get a better feel for the local people andEuropean life than on these trains that weave their way from town to towntaking the locals to work market or play

Express day trains There is also a full schedule of domestic and international trains that makefewer stops than local trains and get you to your destination more quickly

These are generally called InterCity (IC) or EuroCity (EC) trains These trainssometimes require a seat reservation

High-speed trainsWant to cover a long distance really fast or as luxuriously as possible Thereare many high-speed services that criss-cross Europe ndash all of them withcomfortable 1st and 2nd class cars and catering services Seat reservations areusually required and additional costs must be paid On the InterRail Map HighSpeed lines are indicated by a purple or green line

Night trainsNight trains run between many major European cities and offer a variety ofsleeping options for different budgets Most of them require reservations anda supplement payment for the sleeping accommodation but you can end upsaving money since the supplement you pay can cost less than a hotel roomwould have Some overnight trains offer reclining seats (generally only 2ndclass) starting at euro5 Most offer standard couchettes as well as more luxurioussleepers with the supplement ranging in price from euro15 to euro69

Couchettes are compartments with four open bunks in 1st class and four or sixopen bunks in 2nd class These are shared with other passengers of both sexesand people generally sleep in their day clothes A sheet blanket and pillow are

provided Sleepers offer more comfort and privacy (one or two passengers in1st class and two or three in 2nd class) and usually have a private wash basin

They are allocated exclusively for either men or women unless your partyoccupies all the beds in the compartment

Sleep tightOn night trains ticket and passport checks are sometimes conducted whileyou are sleeping It is therefore quite common for the car attendant to collectyour InterRail Pass and passport (or travel ID) for border formalities so youwonrsquot have to be disturbed Your documents will be returned to you in themorning Just double-check that you have been given the right documentsback

Night trainsNight trains run between many major European cities and offer a variety ofsleeping options for different budgets Most of them require reservations anda supplement payment for the sleeping accommodation but you can end upsaving money since the supplement you pay can cost less than a hotel roomwould have Some overnight trains offer reclining seats (generally only 2ndclass) starting at euro5 Most offer standard couchettes as well as more luxurioussleepers with the supplement ranging in price from euro15 to euro69

Couchettes are compartments with four open bunks in 1st class and four or sixopen bunks in 2nd class These are shared with other passengers of both sexesand people generally sleep in their day clothes A sheet blanket and pillow are

provided Sleepers offer more comfort and privacy (one or two passengers in1st class and two or three in 2nd class) and usually have a private wash basin

They are allocated exclusively for either men or women unless your partyoccupies all the beds in the compartment

Sleep tightOn night trains ticket and passport checks are sometimes conducted whileyou are sleeping It is therefore quite common for the car attendant to collectyour InterRail Pass and passport (or travel ID) for border formalities so youwonrsquot have to be disturbed Your documents will be returned to you in themorning Just double-check that you have been given the right documentsback

Train types

There are a variety of different train types in Europe each offering its ownadvantages and unique travel experiences

Local trainsEasy relaxed and intimate ndash that sums up the atmosphere of the countlesslocal trains that you will find throughout Europe Some of them only have2nd class cars Nowhere else will you get a better feel for the local people andEuropean life than on these trains that weave their way from town to towntaking the locals to work market or play

Express day trains There is also a full schedule of domestic and international trains that makefewer stops than local trains and get you to your destination more quickly

These are generally called InterCity (IC) or EuroCity (EC) trains These trainssometimes require a seat reservation

High-speed trainsWant to cover a long distance really fast or as luxuriously as possible Thereare many high-speed services that criss-cross Europe ndash all of them withcomfortable 1st and 2nd class cars and catering services Seat reservations areusually required and additional costs must be paid On the InterRail Map HighSpeed lines are indicated by a purple or green line

Legendary scenic rail routesEurope is bursting with picturesque scenery that can be enjoyed from anytype of train But there are numerous train routes that are legendary for themagnificent vistas they pass through InterRail Passes are valid for many ofthem or entitle you to a discount Reservations are sometimes required ndash theyare always highly recommended See the back of the InterRail Map for a sampleof Europersquos most scenic routes

Night trainsNight trains run between many major European cities and offer a variety ofsleeping options for different budgets Most of them require reservations anda supplement payment for the sleeping accommodation but you can end upsaving money since the supplement you pay can cost less than a hotel roomwould have Some overnight trains offer reclining seats (generally only 2ndclass) starting at euro5 Most offer standard couchettes as well as more luxurioussleepers with the supplement ranging in price from euro15 to euro69

Couchettes are compartments with four open bunks in 1st class and four or sixopen bunks in 2nd class These are shared with other passengers of both sexesand people generally sleep in their day clothes A sheet blanket and pillow are

provided Sleepers offer more comfort and privacy (one or two passengers in1st class and two or three in 2nd class) and usually have a private wash basin

They are allocated exclusively for either men or women unless your partyoccupies all the beds in the compartment

Sleep tightOn night trains ticket and passport checks are sometimes conducted whileyou are sleeping It is therefore quite common for the car attendant to collectyour InterRail Pass and passport (or travel ID) for border formalities so youwonrsquot have to be disturbed Your documents will be returned to you in themorning Just double-check that you have been given the right documentsback

Night trainsNight trains run between many major European cities and offer a variety ofsleeping options for different budgets Most of them require reservations anda supplement payment for the sleeping accommodation but you can end upsaving money since the supplement you pay can cost less than a hotel roomwould have Some overnight trains offer reclining seats (generally only 2ndclass) starting at euro5 Most offer standard couchettes as well as more luxurioussleepers with the supplement ranging in price from euro15 to euro69

Couchettes are compartments with four open bunks in 1st class and four or sixopen bunks in 2nd class These are shared with other passengers of both sexesand people generally sleep in their day clothes A sheet blanket and pillow are

provided Sleepers offer more comfort and privacy (one or two passengers in1st class and two or three in 2nd class) and usually have a private wash basin

They are allocated exclusively for either men or women unless your partyoccupies all the beds in the compartment

Sleep tightOn night trains ticket and passport checks are sometimes conducted whileyou are sleeping It is therefore quite common for the car attendant to collectyour InterRail Pass and passport (or travel ID) for border formalities so youwonrsquot have to be disturbed Your documents will be returned to you in themorning Just double-check that you have been given the right documentsback

Train types

There are a variety of different train types in Europe each offering its ownadvantages and unique travel experiences

Local trainsEasy relaxed and intimate ndash that sums up the atmosphere of the countlesslocal trains that you will find throughout Europe Some of them only have2nd class cars Nowhere else will you get a better feel for the local people andEuropean life than on these trains that weave their way from town to towntaking the locals to work market or play

Express day trains There is also a full schedule of domestic and international trains that makefewer stops than local trains and get you to your destination more quickly

These are generally called InterCity (IC) or EuroCity (EC) trains These trainssometimes require a seat reservation

High-speed trainsWant to cover a long distance really fast or as luxuriously as possible Thereare many high-speed services that criss-cross Europe ndash all of them withcomfortable 1st and 2nd class cars and catering services Seat reservations areusually required and additional costs must be paid On the InterRail Map HighSpeed lines are indicated by a purple or green line

Legendary scenic rail routesEurope is bursting with picturesque scenery that can be enjoyed from anytype of train But there are numerous train routes that are legendary for themagnificent vistas they pass through InterRail Passes are valid for many ofthem or entitle you to a discount Reservations are sometimes required ndash theyare always highly recommended See the back of the InterRail Map for a sampleof Europersquos most scenic routes

Night trainsNight trains run between many major European cities and offer a variety ofsleeping options for different budgets Most of them require reservations anda supplement payment for the sleeping accommodation but you can end upsaving money since the supplement you pay can cost less than a hotel roomwould have Some overnight trains offer reclining seats (generally only 2ndclass) starting at euro5 Most offer standard couchettes as well as more luxurioussleepers with the supplement ranging in price from euro15 to euro69

Couchettes are compartments with four open bunks in 1st class and four or sixopen bunks in 2nd class These are shared with other passengers of both sexesand people generally sleep in their day clothes A sheet blanket and pillow are

provided Sleepers offer more comfort and privacy (one or two passengers in1st class and two or three in 2nd class) and usually have a private wash basin

They are allocated exclusively for either men or women unless your partyoccupies all the beds in the compartment

Sleep tightOn night trains ticket and passport checks are sometimes conducted whileyou are sleeping It is therefore quite common for the car attendant to collectyour InterRail Pass and passport (or travel ID) for border formalities so youwonrsquot have to be disturbed Your documents will be returned to you in themorning Just double-check that you have been given the right documentsback

Night trainsNight trains run between many major European cities and offer a variety ofsleeping options for different budgets Most of them require reservations anda supplement payment for the sleeping accommodation but you can end upsaving money since the supplement you pay can cost less than a hotel roomwould have Some overnight trains offer reclining seats (generally only 2ndclass) starting at euro5 Most offer standard couchettes as well as more luxurioussleepers with the supplement ranging in price from euro15 to euro69

Couchettes are compartments with four open bunks in 1st class and four or sixopen bunks in 2nd class These are shared with other passengers of both sexesand people generally sleep in their day clothes A sheet blanket and pillow are

provided Sleepers offer more comfort and privacy (one or two passengers in1st class and two or three in 2nd class) and usually have a private wash basin

They are allocated exclusively for either men or women unless your partyoccupies all the beds in the compartment

Sleep tightOn night trains ticket and passport checks are sometimes conducted whileyou are sleeping It is therefore quite common for the car attendant to collectyour InterRail Pass and passport (or travel ID) for border formalities so youwonrsquot have to be disturbed Your documents will be returned to you in themorning Just double-check that you have been given the right documentsback
