Anyone who’s done a long stint backpacking across Europe will likely be familiar with the Eurail pass. This all-in-one ticket grants you unlimited travel on a bunch of train networks across 33 countries while saving you stacks of cash. Well, after more than 60 years, the iconic brand has officially entered a new era as Interrail. To celebrate, they’ve just dropped their biggest-ever sale – meaning it’s the perfect time to lock in those 2027 Eurosummer plans.

Running until Wednesday, September 30, the Interrail sale offers up to 50 per cent off both first- and second-class Global Passes. That means adults can save up to $750 on a one-month continuous pass, $890 on a two-month pass, and a massive $1,031 on a three-month pass.

All other Interrail Passes, including shorter duration and single-country options, are also currently discounted by 15 per cent. Seniors (aged 60+) and youth travellers (aged 12 to 27) will score further discounts, while up to two kids (aged 4 to 11) can travel for free. Score!

We’re big fans of train travel here at Time Out. Beyond being a more sustainable method of transport, rail travel lets you watch Europe’s stunning landscapes roll past your window, take spontaneous detours through charming regional towns, and change plans more flexibly instead of sticking to a strict itinerary.

If you’re planning a 2027 Eurosummer, you’ll definitely want to jump on this sweet, sweet deal. You have 11 months from now to activate your pass, meaning it’ll easily cover travel well into next year. Find out where in Europe you can explore by train below and explore the sale here.
