With a limited edition InterRail pass from Rail Europe.
In celebration of the Euro 2008 tournament, InterRail has introduced a limited edition Austria and Switzerland pass, to help football fans travel between match venues.
Despite the fact that none of the home nations have qualified for the tournament, British football fans can still soak up the carnival atmosphere in the host cities and watch some of their favourite club payers in action for their national teams.
Even for those with no interest in football, this summer is still the ideal time to explore the beautiful host countries by train. With impressive rail networks, linking major cities with small alpine villages and lakeside resorts, the train is the best and most scenic way to travel around and between Austria and Switzerland.
The InterRail Austria / Switzerland Pass is valid for 3, 4, 6 or 8 days of travel in a one month period and covers travel in both countries. Prices start at £148 for a 3-day standard class adult pass. First class options are also available.
