The Inter Rail Pass has become the most popular way for young travellers to see the European continent. It is effectively an open ticket that will permit you to travel anywhere within Europe for one flat fee. The more you travel the more you will save.
However, another option to consider if you are planning to visit only one destination is the one-country pass that they offer. Countries like Germany, France and the UK will come at a higher price for unlimited travel, whereas Eastern European destinations, such as Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Slovenia can be cover by train for as little as £30.
But the Inter Rail is not only confined to the European continent, as the southern route even reaches as far as Morocco. With every exciting town and city of Spain and Portugal taken in along the way, this is easily one of the more sought after routes for backpackers and young holidaymakers. Elsewhere, the Inter Rail can take you to the northern tip of Scandinavia and down to the Mediterranean coast of Turkey and Greece.
Some tour operators will be able to provide accommodation as part of an all-in Inter rail deal, but you may find that it is cheaper to find the accommodation on your own, and if you do plan your itinerary yourself you will have far more flexibility. However, be sure that you have a good hostel or hotel arranged and are not taking any risks in countries you are unfamiliar with.
