Two new Eurail Regional Passes Available

With the sudden boom of low-cost carriers in recent years, many travelers are now missing out on one of the greatest age-old traditions in European travel, the train ride. Winding through the countryside, piercing through mountains and hurtling past quaint villages, many world travelers have romanticized the train ride and argue that it's, in fact, one of the best ways to see a country.

Since 1959, the Eurail brand has been one of the foremost champions of this tradition, offering a selection of Eurail passes tailor-made to suit each individual journey. The most recent additions to this product line are two new Regional Passes out of Germany. Valid for travel in two bordering European countries, the Czech Republic-Germany and Germany-Poland combinations bring the total number of Eurail Regional Passes to 20.  

Train service links Germany to both countries several times a day, offering more freedom of travel. The EuroCity (EC) day trains, for example, run between Berlin, Dresden and Prague at two-hour intervals, and the DB Nachtzug (night train) offer comfort from Munich and Frankfurt to Prague. Also, EC day trains run between Berlin, Poznan and Warsaw (Berlin-Warszawa-Express) and night trains connect Frankfurt to Warsaw and Berlin to Krakow.
