Eurail adds two countries to its unlimited global train pass


For the first time in 61 years, all three of Baltic countries will be accessible for travelers to visit with a single train pass, Lonely Planet reported.

In 2020, Estonia and Latvia have been added to the list of countries non-Europeans can travel to with the Eurail Global Pass.

Now consisting of 33 countries, the list already includes destinations like Rome, Venice, Barcelona, Paris and London.

The all-in-one, unlimited train ticket allows travelers to ride all local trains, high-speed trains and night trains across Europe, run by participating operators.

Eurail Global Pass holders can now ride Latvia’s local operator, Pasažieru vilciens, from its main hub in Riga, and Estonia’s operator Elron from the capital city of Tallinn to other domestic destinations.

They will also receive an up to 50 percent discount on ferry tickets from Riga to Stockholm and Germany, and from Tallinn to Stockholm and Helsinki.

Travelers can choose between two Global Pass options: The Continuous Pass and the Flexi Pass. The former allows for unlimited travel over 15 days, while the latter allows for three, five or seven days of unlimited travel within a month.

While the Eurail Global Pass is only available to non-Europeans, European travelers can get similar benefits with the Interrail Pass.
