How it works
How long is a travel day?
A travel day ends at 23:59 CET of the day you travel, on which you can take all the trains you want!
Can I travel in my country?
Only to cross the border. The Global Pass allows up to 2 journeys in your home country: 1 to leave, 1 to return - multiple train transfers included.
Am I ready to board with a Pass?
Most local and regional trains- yes! But you’ll need to reserve seats to board most high-speed, international and night trains. Popular trains fill up fast, so book early!
