Interrail pass – feel the freedom to travel

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.
