Eurail Passes add free day of travel

Eurail is offering early-bird trip planners an extra day of rail travel. From March 1 to April 30, all Regional and One-Country Passes will come with one free additional travel day and the flexibility to begin the journey any time within six months of the purchase date.

The Eurail One Country Pass gives travelers the perfect opportunity to become acquainted with the diversity and culture of European countries. The Eurail Regional Pass is valid for traveling in two bordering European countries and customers can choose from 25 countries on the portfolio-list to fill an itinerary.

For travelers who want to see even more of Europe, Eurail is offering extra travel days for Global Passes purchased through to the end of March. Passengers can enjoy up to five free days of rail travel with their Global Passes, which offer access to 28 countries.

"With Eurail, nearly all of Europe is at a traveler's fingertips. With extra free travel days, it means that Eurail passengers can meet more people, see more sights, and enjoy more activities on their European rail adventure", said Silvia Gorlach, Eurail's Sales and Marketing Manager.

In addition to the free-day promotions, Eurail travellers of all ages can take advantage of recent updates to the product portfolio, which include the first-class Youth Pass and the Family Concept. The latter allows up to two children aged 11 and younger to travel for free with an Adult Pass holder.

Eurail Passes can be purchased from a worldwide network of Authorized General Sales Agents and on www.eurail.com.

In addition, the group has many partners, including hotels, transport companies and museums, which offer their services either at a discount or free of charge to Eurail or InterRail Pass holders.
