Night trains

 

Travelling by night train is a great way to save on time and money, as you speed towards your next destination while you sleep. 2021 should be a great year to give night trains a try, with new routes planned to open all around Europe. Until then, check out all the existing routes on our popular info page.

London to Istanbul

 

When you can finally travel again, your comeback trip will obviously need to be iconic. So why not follow the route of one Europe's most famous (if not the most famous) train journeys - the Orient Express. The famed train service no longer runs, but with an Interrail Global Pass you can trace the route yourself on modern trains, all the way from London to Istanbul.
