Differences between 1st and 2nd class

Choosing between first and second class not only depends on your budget, but also on the travel experience you're looking for. In general, first class offers serenity and quietness, whereas second class offers more of a community travel experience.

Depending on the railway company and the countries you are travelling in, travelling first class usually means: spacious, comfortable seats, amenities such as USB-ports, free Wi-Fi, or even complimentary drinks and meals. Sometimes the perks of travelling first class even start before boarding the train, with access to lounges and priority check-in.

Whatever you decide to choose, it’s good to know that both options are available when ordering an Interrail Pass, whether you’re a backpacker or a 5-star luxury seeker!
