Common heritage

At the foot of the European identity lies the common history as well as culture of Nations that living next to each other throughout the ages created the basics for contemporary Europe culture. That common heritage brought to create United Europe in 1993. The borders opened, Erasmus program, tightening economic cooperation make us feel the citizen of the entire continent and to travel willingly.

Constantly growing railway carriers offers as well as shipping services is the result of that tendency. Contemporary Europe is entwined with a network of modern railway connections that reach over 20,000 cities. No surprise that the Interrail ticket has been introduced for the European Union citizens as well as the partner countries.

Unlike the continuous type ticket it does not allow you travel free of charge to the journey start point within the resident country. The ticket price depends on the country and number of passes.

The Interrail Pass is valid throughout the whole period of expiry date indicated on the ticket. The first pass may occur at midnight of the day indicated as the first pass day on the ticket, and the last pass should finish at midnight of the last day of the expiry date indicated on the ticket.

How to use the Interrail Pass

The Interrail Pass consists of two parts – a tickets and special, obligatory folder. Both parts are essential at the ticket inspection. The Interrail is issued on the name. The front part of the folder should be completed with the passenger’s personal details, such as: name, age range, address and email. Each time during the inspection, the ticket should be presented with a document confirming the identity of the traveler, such as a personal ID or passport. The back part of the folder is so called Travel Diary. Before you start traveling by train, bus or ferry, you should add details about this journey in the Travel Diary. The ticket will not be valid without that data. It is worth remembering, because the penalties for improper filling or not completing the ticket can reach up to 200 euros. Luckly, each ticket comes with the instruction, which describes how to use the ticket.
