Picking the right Interrail pass is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. It shapes your route, flexibility, and overall budget. Here’s how to get it right.

1. Global vs One Country Pass

• Global Pass: Travel across 33 countries — ideal for long routes, first-timers, or multiple regions.
• One Country Pass: Perfect for deep-diving into Italy, France, or Germany without crossing borders.

2. Flexi vs Continuous

• Flexi: Choose specific travel days (e.g. 7 days in 1 month). Best for slower-paced travel or city breaks.
• Continuous: Unlimited train rides within a time frame (e.g. 15 or 30 days). Great for fast movers or last-minute planners.

3. Key Factors to Consider

• How many countries will you visit?
• Do you want downtime between train days?
• Are you planning lots of short hops or long journeys?
