Hi there,

I hope I'm not asking something that has not been answered on one of the pages of information about the tickets, but I couldn't see any answer when I was researching what ticket to get. I am wondering whether the interrail ticket covers travel within cities, eg. getting metros/ trains from one part of Berlin to another? Or does it just cover rail travel between cities and countries? If it covers the travel within cities, I guess it might be more useful to get the 22 days continuous travel ticket as opposed to the 10 in 22 days ticket.

Thanks for your help,
Graeme

Hi!

The InterRail ticket usually doesnt cover urban transport (metro, bus, tram) as they are usually operated by different companies than those train companies participating in InterRail. However, in some cities there are suburban railway networks operated by the railway companies which you can use with your InterRail pass. :)

Some examples:

Berlin, Hamburg, München: S-Bahn (exists in several other cities as well)
Madrid, Barcelona: Cercanias
London: All train connections > National Rail
Wien: S-Bahn

Thanks!

So do you think it is worthwhile getting the unlimited 22 day travel ticket for a trip Berlin-Dresden-Prague-Munich-Salzburg-Vienna-Bratislava-Budapest-Cluj if it can sometimes be used in the cities too? Me and a friend have planned it so it will take us about 22 days to cover these stops and were thinking of getting the 10 days travel in 22 days ticket, but maybe now thinking the unlimited 22 day ticket might be more useful if it can also be used in the cities.

Cheers,
Graeme
