Train travel is the best way to relax and experience the
European scenery while connecting to historic and culturally rich
destinations. For families – it's comfortable, convenient, and now
even more affordable. Travelers can choose from a variety of Eurail
passes and country-specific passes to customize their trip to meet
their travel needs:
- New for 2015, up to two children between the ages of 4 and 11
can travel for free with an adult on the Eurail Global, Eurail
Select, Regional Eurail and One-Country Eurail passes. With over 25
different pass options and unlimited rail travel in up to 28
countries, Eurail makes flexible travel a reality.
- Families traveling with kids under the age of 16 in
Switzerland can book a Swiss
Travel Pass and save with the Swiss Family Card, which allows
children 6 to 15 years of age to travel free when accompanied by a
parent or legal guardian. The card is free, simply request one at
the time you purchase your Swiss Travel Pass.
- The German Rail Pass offers a free child discount, with up to
two children ages 6 to 11 traveling free of charge with each
adult.
- For several BritRail Pass products, one child ages 5 to 15 can
travel free with an adult on a BritRail Family Pass. All additional
children ages 5 to 15 will receive a special reduced rate. This
offer applies when using a standard BritRail Pass, a BritRail
England Pass and a BritRail South West Pass.**
Each pass allows families to travel in comfort and provides
convenient transit from city center to city center. Forget about
flight check-ins, road signs and gas prices and simply enjoy a
stress-free travel experience for all generations. Hop on the train
a few minutes prior to departure, relax and get ready to enjoy the
view.
