EURAIL PASSES
and are supposed to be bought outside Europe. They're available from leading travel agen-
cies and online.
Eurail Global Passes are good for travel in 21 European countries (not including the UK);
forget it if you intend to travel mainly in Norway. Passes are valid for 10 or 15 days within a
two-month period, 15 or 21 consecutive days, or for one, two or three months.
The Eurail Select Pass provides between five and 15 days of unlimited travel within a
two-month period in three to five bordering countries (from a total of 19 possible countries).
As with Global Passes, those aged 26 and over pay for a 1st-class pass, while those aged
under 26 can get a cheaper 2nd-class pass.
Eurail also offers a Norway national pass, a two-country regional pass (Norway and
Sweden) and a Scandinavia Rail Pass (valid for travel in Norway, Sweden, Finland and
Denmark). For these passes, you choose from between three and 10 days' train travel in a
one- or two-month period. The adult eight-day national pass (valid for one month) costs
€259/304 in second/first class. Regional passes come in three versions: 1st-class adult,
2nd-class adult saver (for two or more adults travelling together), and 2nd-class youth.
