Who can buy the Eurail Pass?

The Eurail Pass is available for purchase by non-European residents of all ages. It is specifically designed for travelers who reside outside of Europe and wish to explore multiple European countries by train. European residents have access to a similar pass known as the Interrail Pass.

Eurail passes are available for different age categories: youngsters and seniors get a discount from the normal rate. Make sure that you buy the right pass for the age that you are when you travel rather than when buying it. E.g., if you are 59 when buying the pass but 60 when you actually use it, make sure to buy the 60+ pass to get your appropriate discount.

To be eligible for a Eurail Pass, you typically need to prove your non-European residency, which is as simple as providing your passport from a non-European country when purchasing the pass. Keep in mind that pass availability, types, and terms may vary, so it's advisable to check with the official Eurail website or authorized resellers for the most up-to-date information and eligibility criteria.
