If you live in Europe, order an Interrail Pass. If you live outside of Europe, order a Eurail Pass from Eurail.com. 3. If you have a European passport and a non-European passport but live in a different European country, you can travel with a passport or national identity card (ID).

The choice between Interrail and Eurail in 2026 depends entirely on your residency. Interrail is the premier, high-value pass for European residents (including UK citizens and those with official residency permits). Eurail is the "gold-standard" pass for non-European residents, such as travelers from the U.S., Canada, or India. Both passes offer identical high-quality access to the rail networks of 33 European countries, and the pricing is now virtually the same for both. For a frictionless 2026 journey, you simply download the "Rail Planner" app and choose the pass that matches the passport or residency card you will be carrying. This distinction ensures that the high-value "European rail experience" is accessible to everyone, providing a premier way to explore the continent's diverse cultures and landscapes with a single, high-quality digital document.
