RAILPASSES offer you a lot more than travel days during a month. When holding an EURAIL PASS you are entitled several types of bonuses and discounts in all kinds of touristic places, boats, hotels, museums and services in general.
Below you will find each specific bonus according to each specific country and National Railways companies.
Please note that those bonuses cannot be secured in ad-vance, but arranged on the spot. For example, if you wish to have the 20% discount offered for Austria passholders on the Boat service: Blue Danube Schiffahrt, you must go into the proper Ferry Station to purchase at the discount-ed rate.
I n f o r m a t i o n a n d b e n e f i t s b y c o u n t r i e s
Please, keep in mind that those bonuses and services were developed in partnership with hundreds of companies and service facilities. Unfortunately it is not possible to inform everything there is to know about a hotel or boat we men-tion here. Those specifics must be checked directly at those companies, ok? Now that we are all set, let’s travel on! Bo
