Combovers Things To Do Before You're Bald

Interrailing: Is It Worth It?

I had the good fortune to be able to afford to go interrailing around Europe this summer. It was certainly an unforgettable experience, but if you’re looking at doing it yourself, you might be struck with all sorts of doubts – hopefully I can dismiss some of these here.

The most confusing thing is the sheer number of options you have. Not only can you use EUrail regardless of your nationality, but if you happen to be a citizen of an EU country then you can also get an interrail ticket. It’s definitely worth giving both consideration if you can, as they both offer different options.

The main thing to look at here is that you can travel for a certain number of days within a certain period, say ten days out of 21, or you can just stick at it and have the option to travel every day. If you can afford to, I’d certainly recommend this option, as then it doesn’t matter what you do and you can freely move whenever you like.

However, if you’re doing the big old city tour, then it’s definitely worth considering limited days; in essentially every major (and even many minor) European cities, there’s so much to see and do you could be there for a week at a time! Rushing through can be interesting if you’re willing to be raring to go all the time, but those wanting to take a more relaxed approach definitely have the alternative.
