Guide Review - EUrail Scandinavia Pass: The Regional Pass for Scandinavia by Train

The EUrail Select Pass lets you hop on and off Scandinavian trains for 4 to 10 days within a 2-month period, on a single train ticket. The train travel days don't have to be consecutive, so the EUrail Scandinavia Pass lets you stay very flexible. I like it also because it lets you go wherever you want, for one price.

Numerous discounts make the EUrail Pass a favorite for me and many other Scandinavia travelers, e.g. discounts on local bus transportation and admission for museums and other attractions.

Getting the EUrail Select Pass you need: Simply take a look at the EUrail Pass options and pick the number of countries you want to visit, and the length of your trip. You can also get a train pass for a single country only.

If you're under 25, you can get a low-priced Youth Ticket, Kids under 4 can go on the train for free. Between 4 and 11, kids only cost 50%. And the best offer among train passes: A Saver pass is available for 2 or more people that are traveling together at all times.

EUrail Pass Prices & Booking

For EU residents: The EUrail Passes are for visitors from outside the EU. EU residents should purchase InterRail train tickets which are very similar to EUrail tickets. They're available at European train stations near you.
