Is the Interrail Global Pass Worth It?
Annicka · 2025-05-26
Hi everyone, my husband and I are planning a night-train trip in September: first to Vienna (3 nights), then Budapest (2 nights), Bratislava (1 night or skip it?), Salzburg (1 night), Munich (1 night), and maybe Stuttgart (1 night) before heading back to Paris. The whole trip will be by train.
Is it worth getting the Interrail Global Pass for this?
Thanks for your feedback!

hi,
we should clarify how much the pass costs per person.
Don’t forget there are cheap Wizz Air flights to Budapest.
So after that, check intercité train tickets and see if it works out cheaper.

Thanks for your reply! My husband has a fear of flying, which is why we’re choosing the train—including the
Paris-Vienna overnight train for the outbound trip.
The 7-day pass costs 384 € per person.

My bad, I get it now.
384 € seems like a good price because if you add up the cost of individual tickets without a pass, it’d definitely go over that amount.
But watch out for extra charges—on Intercity trains, there are supplements, and you have to reserve your seat.
