Take the Train Around Europe This Christmas

Whether you’re a lover of Christmas tradition, or even just a lover of travel, then make sure you explore the home of tradition in Europe for less this winter.

With 15% off Interrail’s Global and selected One Country Passes you can visit over 40,000 European destinations, easier than ever before, from £200 (29-55 year-olds). Here are a few of the must visit locations to really help you get in the mood for Christmas:

Belgium

Besides Turkey there is another Christmas food type that is always a topic for discussion at Christmas, and it originates from Belgium… The brussel sprout.

With your Interrail Global Pass enjoy hiking and biking in Ardennes by taking your train to Namur station, stroll the romantic canals of Bruges by stopping off at Brugge station, enjoy the night life in Antwep which is just an hour away from Brussels, stroll the white sands of Ostend by alighting at Oostende station and finish your journey by tucking in to brussel sprouts in Brussel’s Grand Palace Square.

Turkey

One theory for the origin of Santa is Turkey. Thanks to your Interrail Global Pass you’ll be able to walk in his footsteps and explore the best that Turkey has to offer. Before you leave make sure you stop by the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, which you can get to from Sirkeci Station, to haggle for Christmas gifts for your loved ones.

Germany

Germany, the epicentre of Tinsel and Christmas trees, visit the trees for yourself by taking the train to Offenburg and hiking in the Black Forest at Schwarzwald. If Christmas markets are more your thing then you’ll definitely be in the right place. Germany has Christmas Markets all the way from Hamburg to Dusseldorf, making it one of the must-see places to visit, with your Interrail Global Pass, during the winter months.

Norway

Explore Lapland and the magical Northern Lights on your trip to Norway? Wild reindeer can be found in Norway’s diverse natural treasure, Jotunheimen National Park, which you can travel to from Oslo to Otta station in around three hours. If the breath-taking scenery of unspoilt landscapes isn’t magical enough then the Northern Lights may be more your thing. Enjoy a picturesque train journey through wintery mountains and stop off at Bodø station. Take your time to explore Norway’s epic natural splendours and urban treasures with your Interrail One Country Pass.
