Hey folks, I already planned my trip to Europe, but im curious to know if i need to buy to 2 month pass or if just with 1 im okey; Our trip stars on the 22th of this month and it will be ending by the 11th of august.

The app suggest my at least 7 travel days, since we´ll be moving from UK to France, France-Switzerland, and then Switzerland to Rome (final destination)

But im not clear if its seven days of travelling within a callendar month or that we have 30 days to use those 7 travel days

if you activate your pass (exampel with 7d in 1M, which would be suitable for your trip) at 22.07 it is valid till 21.07(including).

So in this case its 31 days, while with a start in a shorter month it would be 30 (or 29 or 28) days.

Thanks very much for the help, and i really mean it,so basically if i activate my pass on the 22th of July i still got to 21th/20th of August, to use my 7 days travel, right?


´cause i already booked flights, hotels and stuff to do and left the transportation at the end since I was not sure if the pass was a good idea or if it was better to buy each ticket, at end i realised that buying each ticket by my own it would be so expensive.

Again, thanks for the help 😁

Yes, as mentioned. When comparing to separate tickets, also consider mandatory reservations. Check the prices for UK-France, France & France-Switzerland and Switzerland Rome. For the last one I recommend to take a regional train from Chiasso to Milano and only reserve a highspeed train from there, so you pay the supplement only once.

Pretty sure, Interrail + mandatory reservations will still be the best option for your route especially travelling during high season.
