Generally, the Eurail Pass does not include local public transport such as city buses, trams, or the metro (like the Paris RER or the London Underground). The pass is designed for travel on the national railway networks of 33 participating countries and certain high-speed international links. However, there are a few notable exceptions: in some German cities, the Eurail pass is valid on the S-Bahn (suburban trains), which can be a useful way to navigate through cities like Berlin or Munich. Additionally, the pass often covers certain ferry routes, such as those between Italy and Greece operated by Superfast Ferries or Grimaldi Lines. Some "Global Pass" holders in 2026 also receive "Passholder Benefits" which include discounted rates (but not free travel) on city-to-airport express trains like the Heathrow Express or the Leonardo Express in Rome. For standard city-center transit, you will still need to purchase local tickets or use "tap-to-pay" systems, as the Eurail pass is a regional and international rail tool rather than a comprehensive "city transit" card.
