Eurail Global Pass
Every Eurail Global pass is valid in all 20 of these countries.
It does not cover the world. But the "full-size" 20-country Eurailpass, now called Eurail Global, allows you to travel freely through most of Western Europe, from Portugal to Finland to Greece. Unlike the Selectpass, the Eurail Global pass offers a consecutive-day version — particularly convenient for the whirlwind traveler who's riding the rails almost every day. It's also the only pass with a three-month option, making it especially popular with student backpackers. The Global pass will also cover travel in the Czech Republic in 2009 (even if you buy it before the end of the year).

Important Notes:
-
Seat and sleeper reservations cost extra and are required on many types of train. See our Train Reservation page for prices. ETBD does not make reservations.
-
Travel in Britain, across the English Channel by Eurostar, and in much of Eastern Europe is not covered by these passes. See the pass and ticket prices for those areas later in this guide. For instance, on the way to Prague in 2008, you can buy a ticket that covers the distance from any Czech border to Prague for $20 - $30 2nd class before boarding the train in your country of departure.
-
Saverpass prices listed include a 15% discount compared to individual first class passes. Members of each pair or group must order together, all purchasing the same pass. See How Railpasses Work.
NEW — Youth BritRail Discount with Eurail Pass
Youths under age 26 who have any Eurail Pass (Global, Select, Regional, Ireland, etc.) can save about 37% versus regular youth prices on BritRail Consecutive or Flexipasses, or England Consecutive or Flexipasses. You must present the Eurailpass when validating the discounted BritRail pass in Europe. Most passes earn you the discount, except a few non-Eurail independents (no France, Swiss, German, European East, Balkan, nor other BritRail passes). You must order through the Eurail Passholder Youth Discount section on our BritRail page in order to get the deal (or fill in discount prices on fax or mail orders). To save on shipping costs, request both passes in one order by placing either one into your shopping cart, then following the link to "continue shopping."
