Hi,
Me and a 5 friends are going on a short train trip after the end of school, and figured we'd see:
Berlin
Prague
Budapest.
I just had a question concerning the country of residence. I read the various posts on the forum, but I didn't get it (hehe). We're ordering the interrail passes in Belgium, and taking a train from Budapest(2 connections). I'm not sure if I got this straight:
The pass doesn't work for neither Brussels-Berlin, nor Budapest-Brussels?
Thanks in advance for any help, love this site, definitely doing this again if I can just sort this out :p

Hi.
If you lived the past six months in Belgium is your country of residence: [u]https://rail.cc/en/how-to-interrail[/u]
Which means: you can not travel for free in Belgium.
You only get a reduction on a normal fare ticket of 50% from your home town in Belgium to the border station where you leave Belgium.
You could make a round trip with the 5 days in 10 Interrail Global pass ( [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail-global-pass[/u]) like:
Belgium - Munich - Vienna - Budapest - Krakow - Prague - Berlin - Brussels
Of course no need to stop everywhere! :)
Instead of buying such a 50% discounted ticket to leave Belgium, you could also buy a special price ticket of Deutsche Bahn (starting from 29/39 EUR) and travel Belgium-Munich and on your return Berlin-Brussels.
So you would save two travel days on your Interrail pass.
All journeys are possible to travel free of extra fees. Except night trains, but then you save at the same time the money for a hostel. :)
