Reply To: Inter-railing in summer

Depending which exact pass you take and FX rates, it can work out better cost-wise or choice-wise to get your pass in another country. You might need a VPN to see some.

Also if you’re not based in Europe/UK there is a different choice of passes also available – narrower but may suit some people better.

I Eurailed when I was a student and would Interrail/Eurail again in a heartbeat – but only with planning this time.

Also I agree wholeheartedly with @SamG’s comments about the disadvantages of night trains which can pall quickly after very few nights.

I suppose “credit card Interrailing” would be best for that problem – get yourself a top hotel status that will get you checkin at 9am – or be prepared to pay for it.
