In the autumn and winter seasons, Europe takes on a different charm. Cozy indoor bars replace open terraces, bustling with locals; food shifts from light summer fare to hearty winter dishes, such as traditional stews from specific countries. Traditions also change with the seasons. During the Discover Carnival events in February across Italy, Spain, France, Germany, and Belgium, each country adds its own unique cultural flair. Other winter festivals and sporting events are also held throughout Europe. The scenery seen from trains turns into winter wonderlands in many Central and Northern European countries. Of course, pass holders can also choose to head to the warmer Mediterranean region, though it tends to be much less crowded than in the summer.
The Eurail Global Pass is valid in 24 European countries (including free or discounted travel with certain major ferry companies), allowing independent travelers to flexibly plan their routes while traveling across Europe by train. The Eurail Global Pass remains the most popular among the Eurail train pass product range, followed closely by the Eurail Select Pass, which is valid in any four adjoining European countries and offers travelers a choice of 27 covered countries.
Eurail train passes are now available through its global network of authorized sales agents. For more details, please visit: http://www.eurailgroup.org/eurail-vendors.
