Hi.

I'm a student in the Netherlands I arrived 2 months ago and I have a Dutch resident permit.
Does that make me a resident so am I able to buy InterRail instead of Eurail ?

Thanks!

Hi...
You need at least a six month stay in the Netherlands!
Even if you have a residency permit for a year, but at the start of a tour only stayed 2 months in the Netherlands, you can not travel by InterRail, you have to travel then by Eurail: [u]https://rail.cc/en/eurail[/u]
Wait some more months until you have the 6 - and then start InterRailing... ;)

Thank you for the quick response! (what a great place to get your questions cleared!)

Last question!

1. Lets say I want to visit Netherlands -> Germany -> Italy -> France (in that order)
Germany and Italy dont share a border :( . Does this mean it cant be done?

or would you advise me to go Germany->France->Italy?


Thank you!

yeah ... here you always get fast answers... :D

if you travel with a GLOBAL InterRail Pass, for example the 5 days in10 or 22 days continuous or .... then you can travel in all European countries taking part at the InterRail program. So it is no problem to cross borders, crossing Switzerland or passing trough France to get to Italy.
A nice solution is to use a cheap night train from Germany to Italy. Have a look at the country topic of Germany: [u]https://rail.cc/en/night-train/germany/de[/u]
