3 reasons to explore Europe as a family with Interrail 5 bucket list journeys

Contrary to popular belief, travelling by train is not only for young globetrotters or couples without children. Prepare your family for a journey full of unique experiences with an Interrail Pass. Choose from more than 40,000 destinations across Europe.

Select a route that suits you (and your family) and create unforgettable memories with your children. Discover below three good reasons to plan a family holiday with Interrail.

1 -  Europe and its hidden treasures

Why travel to the other side of the world in search of adventure when Europe offers you such an array of landscapes and opportunities for discovery? The chance to explore its cultural diversity, architectural gems and the beauty of its landscapes is also a golden opportunity to broaden not only your children's horizons but your own. Share, seek out new experiences, understand and see the world with a new perspective. This is an adventure that will forever be engraved in your memory.

3 - A treasure trove of family memories 

Helping your child discover the world is a magical experience that strengthens the bond you share. But if travelling to so many destinations by train feels like a race against the clock, think again! The journeys allow you to relax and above all to share special moments as a family. Forget the stresses and strains of everyday life, because now is the time to cherish every moment. 

During your journey, sit back and allow your mind to wander as you admire the breathtaking scenery off the beaten track. Be creative and participate in different activities with your children: fun games, story-telling, reading, listening to your holiday playlist or watching animated films…
Feeling tired? You're in the most comfortable place. Recharge your batteries and use the time to have a good sleep before you arrive at your next destination.
