Short answer - you can! A detailed response, how to do it, I will give in this article.

Many travelers, when developing your route try to find the most inexpensive and convenient way of moving from point A to point B. Some with knapsacks on our backs hitchhiking, prostaivaya half-day on the road waiting for a ride. Others choose a plane or bus.

Few come to mind that the most convenient way to travel around Europe - this train. After all, almost everyone has heard that the train in Europe - the most expensive form of transport. But is it really?

If you look at the prices of railway tickets, you can really terrified. For example, the cost of the ticket on the train Amsterdam - Paris 100 euros! Yes, a lot of at such prices do not run over ...

And if now we pronounced the magic word InterRail - the world turn upside down. After buying the Global Passport (Global Pass) Interrail for 399 Euro we have the opportunity to travel around Europe for a month with no restrictions!

InterRail system has long been popular in Europe. It is especially popular among young people - for up to 26 years can buy InterRail ticket with the largest discount. In Russia, information on InterRail virtually none.

Who can buy tickets InterRail? According to official information, the ticket can buy InterRail any person, living in the past 6 months:

1. One of the member countries of InterRail:

As we can see, Russia is present in this list, which means that any Russian can buy this extraordinary card. Buy it in any country, part of the system InterRail, or ordered in advance online at the official site of InterRail.

But it turns out, that's not all! There are other types of tickets InterRail, except for Global Pass ticket for a month. For example, what if we had to leave just two or three weeks? Buy a ticket for a month? No, buy a ticket for a month does not have to - the tickets are sold as Global Pass 22 days at a cheaper price.

And if you do not want to spend all the time on trains, and want to spend a few days in one place? On the trip would take not much time. Output is again: a ticket 5 / 10 gives the right to travel by train all 5 days of the selected 10, and 10/22 ticket - any 10 days out of 22. Of course, ticket prices, the smaller the shorter the duration of your trip. For example, the official ticket prices for 2008 next:

Young people, 12-25 years old, Grade 2:
5 days / 10 days: 159 €
10 dn/22 days: 239 €

1 month: 399 €

An adult over 26 years, Grade 2:
5 days / 10 days: 249 €
10 dn/22 days: 359 €

And if you do not want to just cover all the countries you can buy InterRail One Country Pass - a ticket that gives the right to move to another European country. One Country Pass tickets are also at different times: at 3, 4, 6 and 8 days of travel within 1 month of the selected country.
