    If you’re planning a Europe trip with the entire fam but worried about your budget, don’t stress. The Eurail Pass is the travel companion you need for your next family trip to Europe. With a single pass, you can ski down the slopes of the Swiss Alps, snap photos at the Eiffel Tower, chow down on authentic Italian pizza in Rome, and beyond. The best part? Families get a discount, so you can spend less money on transportation and more on adventures!
    If you’re still on the fence, here are seven reasons why the Eurail Pass is perfect for families:

    1. Explore 33 countries with a single pass

    It’s the best way to take advantage of the continent’s well-connected rail network. No need to stress about long lines to buy train tickets. With just the Pass on your phone, you can board a train, sit back, and enjoy the view.

    Ever had a change of heart while travelling? Maybe you wanna enjoy a longer stay in a certain city or replace one destination with another. Whatever the reason, it’s usually challenging and pricey to change plans when your flights are locked in. With the Eurail Global Pass, you can travel as much (or as little) as you want at no extra cost! Families with the Eurail Pass can make the most out of the flexibility and have a rest day or explore sites for longer.

    3. Kids and seniors get a discount

    You don’t need to break the bank to bring the kiddos to the finest sights in Europe. Thanks to the Eurail Pass’s family deals, kids aged 11 and below can travel for free. There are also discounts for travellers aged 12 to 27 and deals for senior citizens aged 60 and above for an affordable trip for the entire bunch!
    While kids can travel for free, they still need a Child Pass to board the trains, so don’t forget to include one with your order. Up to two children can travel for free with every single adult traveller.

    4. Take advantage of discounts for attractions

    If you’re visiting several European destinations, especially during the peak season, it’s easy for the costs of transport to each city to pile up. Instead of buying individual tickets, opt for the Eurail Global Pass to save money. You’ll also get more time for travelling and less waiting since you don’t need to wait in long lines at the station to buy tickets.

    6. Get access to trains, ferries, and public transport

    On top of the unlimited train travel and discounts, the pass also includes access to public transportation in select destinations. In countries like Austria and Germany, you can travel from one attraction to another using the participating transport companies. Make sure to check the app to see which subways and buses are included in the pass!

    With the Eurail pass, families can design their own adventure. If you want to visit as many destinations as possible, the consecutive pass is the best one for you. With options ranging from 15 days to 3 months, you can hop on and off trains as much as you want.
    If you’re after extended stays in your destinations, the flexible pass is ideal since it’s cheaper than the consecutive pass. You can take your pick among passes that are valid for 4 days in 1 month, 15 days in 2 months, and more.
