More choice, more possibilities

One of the best things about a Eurail Pass is the choice and freedom it gives you to embark on a totally unique journey. No matter where you want to go, we have a Pass that suits your trip. And now, with 2nd class Eurail Passes for adults you can get even closer to the sights and sounds that Europe has to offer. Because traveling like a local is all part of the fun!

Go further with your budget

For up to 23% less than a 1st class Eurail Pass, adults aged 28 and over can choose a 2nd class Pass to travel through one or more European countries in 2nd class cars. That means that if you buy your 2nd class Pass now, you can afford to extend your trip or explore more destinations, all while getting closer to Europe than ever before.
