Save Money on Interrail Travel With These 10 Tips

I went on an Interrail trip for the first time in my life, and I had a marvelous time. It also ended up being a pretty cheap way to travel! These are my top tips for how to save money while traveling on Interrail or Eurail.

To give you some extra information I also show my full travel budget for a three week solo Interrail trip.

The ten tips can be categorized like this, but with a lot more information added inside the video of course:

- Decide what type of Interrail pass you need, since there can be hundreds of Euros in difference
- Unless you really need to, choose second class instead of first class
- You will need to reserve seats on various trains. Don't use to Interrail app for that, since they charge several Euros extra for every reservation
- When booking hotels, make sure you check prices across several different booking sites
- ...But try to stick to one site that gives you bonus nights, if you can
- However, if you're more flexible, check the walk-in rate instead of booking online in advance
- A very obvious tip is to avoid restaurants right next to major tourist attractions
- And speaking of restaurants, don't forget to compare prices against other local prices - not against what it would cost at home
- You might have to do laundry during your trip. If so, look for local laundromats or laundrettes instead of doing laundry at the hotel
- And my final tip is to consider what local transportation you need in each city. Why not walk if you can?

These are some handy tips, especially about using local laundromats! I'm gonna bring my wife to Sweden and I was thinking about different restaurants to bring her to! I'd love to see a video ranking the top 10 restaurants in Stockholm, or even in Sweden, (ideally ones that aren't TOO fancy either, keeping the Three Star Vagabond energy and budget firmly in my heart! 😅). Great video as always, keep it up!

Cheers for the tips! Definitely going to look into it, especially when I think about traveling in Switzerland or Austria, I bet there are some spectacular landscapes along the train routes.

I haven't been in Italy since I was a kid, I spent Lira. The Euro is good for them, because inflation was ridiculous. I'll have to get Swedish and Norwegian Kroner this winter. I remember the pre Euro days of Europe. I needed Dutch Guilders, Belgian Francs, Deutsch Marks, and so on.

Hello, another great video. What a beutiful sunny day. Where is place in Stockholm where you record the video, it has a very nice view. 😊 But most importantly, how did you pass without specifying the cost of the beers, Beer Pharaoh Vagabond. 😅 Joking aside, your videos will be the first guide I will look at when I travel on interrail. Have a great day. 🙋

As someone in the U.S., I loved this. Some of our cities have decent rail service, but even getting around the country on a train isn't very convenient. As a kid, I took the train from Chicago to Kansas City to visit my dad each summer, but it was only because of the convenience of being in the two areas.

A distant relative in the U.S. is planning a trip to Stockholm this summer and plans to take the train from Stockholm to Narvik, Norway. She loves trains and is always happy when visiting Europe that it's such an option for travel.
