Interrail Pass Guide: Is It Worth It? 👀
|
Train travel is the ultimate way to experience Europe. You can jump on a train in Paris, watch the French countryside blur into the Pyrenees as the train punches south, and hop off in Barcelona with a whole evening ahead of you. You can cross multiple countries in one day or travel as slow as you wish. Theres' no airport shenanigans, no baggage queues... Today we're looking at Interrail, the famous European rail passes, to understand if they're still worth it (or if Ryanair has killed the dream with their silly memes and ridiculously affordable flights).
An Interrail Pass isn't always the money-saving hack you might think it is. The pass itself has a cost, but some specific seat reservations do too, and those fees can stack up pretty quickly in places like France, Italy and Spain. So is it actually for? INTERRAIL IS FOR YOU IF: SKIP THE PASS IF: Basically, Interrail is less about getting the cheapest possible train ticket and more about buying yourself the freedom. Plus, it's REALLY cool to travel Europe on a train, trust me. And sometimes, that's worth paying for.

The Broke Backpacker team is spread wide and far, adventuring all around the globe. So we thought we’d show you some of the team’s favourite places that...
If there is one thing that travellers know about Australia, besides koalas, kangaroos and giant spiders, is that it's bloody expensive. A dorm bed, a coffee, a couple of beers... these are all things that cost a small fortune and make you question your entire trip. And that's why a lot of people choose to go on a working holiday visa, something you might've heard about before. Pairing work with fun is one way to do things down under. That's exactly what happened to Tom. After six months...
Have you ever been snorkelling and thought, this is pretty cool, eh? Well... scuba diving might ruin that for you. That's what happened to Taya on her first dive. All it took was one go, and she realised she'd basically unlocked a whole new side quest.
