Euro Selectpasses Plus other Country and Regional Passes

Since the six rail passes mentioned previously are valid all over Europe, they are the most expensive passes available. You’re paying for the right to use an enormous system of railroads, from Portugal to Hungary, and from Norway to Greece and Sicily. It’s possible that you might not need all that travel power, and don’t want to pay for it. If this is the case, you’re in luck, because passes for smaller parts of Europe and for individual countries are also available. You can buy these types of passes from most vendors that sell Eurail passes.

Eurail Selectpasses: These passes allow you to create your own smaller version of a Flexi Eurailpass. You can buy a Selectpass for any three, four or five countries out of the seventeen-country Eurail system, as long as they’re all connected by a rail or ferry. (For example, you can’t buy a pass for Portugal, Finland, Norway, and Hungary, but you could buy a pass for Portugal, Spain, France, and Germany.) Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg are treated as one country.
