Interrail for flexible travel across Europe

For travellers wishing to explore several countries, Czech Railways recommends using Interrail passes. These are valid with numerous railway operators across Europe and allow for flexible travel planning.

The passes are available in various options depending on the duration of travel, the number of countries visited and the age of the traveller. The offer is particularly attractive for families: children under the age of 12 can travel free of charge under certain conditions.
