Take the Kids Free with new Eurail Passes from Rail Europe
Traveling with the kids in Europe on a budget? New as of 2015, up to two children (ages of 4 and 11) can travel for free with an adult who purchases a Eurail Global or Select Pass or single country pass, including The Swiss Pass, German Rail Pass and a BritRail Pass. There has long been a debate about whether traveling with a Eurail Rail Pass is cheaper than individual tickets bought locally. Now at least for a family with pre-teen children it surely is. There are over 25 different pass options available where children can travel for free, making flexible affordable travel by rail an attractive reality. And with most cases with two adults purchasing rail passes, that’s up to four children for free. Or bring the Au Pair along on vacation and take some more!
