Buying
Where to buy the pass
There is exactly one product, sold under two names. Which one you can buy depends on where you live, not where you are travelling.
Interrail
For residents of Europe, the UK, Switzerland, Norway, Turkey and Russia. You will be asked for proof of residence, not citizenship.
Eurail
For everyone else. Identical travel days, identical prices, identical app. Buying the wrong version means an invalid pass at the barrier.

If you'd rather not do it yourself
