If it all seems too much and you're ready to accept some reductions in service for a cheaper pass, there's a well-known and recognized rail pass across Europe. You've probably heard of it already.
The Interrail is a tourist pass that is especially popular among young independent travellers. However, there’s no age limit for this rail pass, which lets you travel through up to 33 European countries.
Interrail comes in two versions. One is the One Country Pass, valid for a single country. The other is the Global Pass, which allows you to travel in up to 33 European countries. The benefits of Interrail in Switzerland are somewhat less extensive than those of the Swiss Travel Pass. Since it’s primarily a rail pass, it’s mainly valid on trains.
In Switzerland, the Interrail Pass includes the following offers, among others:
Please note that local buses and trams are generally not included in the Interrail Pass. However, there are some exceptions.
You can purchase the One Country Pass for Switzerland for 3, 4, 5, 6, or 8 days. These travel days can be used flexibly within one month.

Interrail is ideal for those who love traveling by train. The following list can help you decide:
Whether Interrail or the Swiss Travel Pass is more suitable depends on your travel plans. It’s best to calculate the difference between the Swiss Travel Pass and Interrail for the time you need and see if this difference covers extra bus, boat, mountain railway rides, and museum entries.
Whether Interrail or the Swiss Travel Pass is more convenient for you depends entirely on your travel plans. If you have a rough idea of your itinerary, we recommend the following:
Calculate the price difference between the Swiss Travel Pass and Interrail for the duration you need, and roughly estimate whether this difference covers bus rides, boat trips, cable cars, or entry to a few museums.
If you’re a non-European feeling discriminated against and already planning your next protest march, don’t worry. There’s definitely a suitable offer for you as well.
Until 8 September 2026, the Interrail Pass was sold to travellers living outside Europe under the brand Eurail. Since 9 September 2026, all offers worldwide have been unified under the Interrail brand. Eurail no longer exists.
The Global Pass is available for different periods of time. Started at 4 flexible days and stopped at 3 months of unlimited travel.
You may have noticed that the Eurail website is only in English, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. This is because only non-Europeans can buy a Eurail Pass. And since neither German nor Danish is spoken outside Europe, the language selection is different from Interrail.
You can either order the Interrail online or buy it at a travel agency in your home. The Eurail is personal and non-transferable, so you must show your passport to buy it.
The Eurail is ideal for people who are planning a longer trip through Europe and like to travel by train. The following list can help you make a decision:
