Hello there.

Me and my girlfriend are travelling around Europe for approx. 3 months from april 2012.

We are currently planning a rough route for our trip, as well as booking a few hostels and looking at insurance etc etc.

However, we are confused a little with interrail tickets and would like someone to help please...

As we will be away travelling for 3 months, we are thinking of purchasing a 10 travel days in 22 days pass to start with, as this part of our journey is planned and booked, but the rest is not.
Therefore we wish to know how we would be able to book interrail passes whilst we are actually away travelling for the coming months. Is this possible? How would we collect them? Can we book and collect interrail tickets from main train stations around Europe?

We would very much appreciate some help on this matter.

Thankyou very much in advance.

Jamie and Jenny.

you can order online from the guys running this site-thats what they like-but of course then you need to know a relaible adress for the coming time.
Continentals simply go into any of the stations where they do INTERnational tickets. In some countries that is even ANY station where they do manual ticket sales-like Germany, Switserland. But-some of those countries also charge a ''servicefee'' for that honour they do to you-range from 5 till 15 eur.
In that case you MUST state very clearly you do NOT live in that country-and be ready to prove it- as otherwise you would not have free travel in that country. Your usual residence is noted on it. Also in many of those continet-countries there are other pases or travel-bargains-as most likely you wont whirl around at breakneckspeed in 4 monthes.
