Interrail becomes 50 today 🙂 iam looking forward for atleast the next 50years :) 

 

Interrail was once founded to celebrate 50years of UIC (International Union of Railways) 

When it started those 50 years ago it was a small paper booklet, ONLY for juniors <21?23?? and valid for 1 month of unlimited train travel in West-Europe-except your own country (the walls firmly stood and communism was much alife-those countries all wanted visums and other complicated entry procedures) but then also Turkey and Morocco! Price around 111€ in todays money.

Hence likely the still so often seen wish to reach places like Istanbul and the Greek isles-but at those times even Marrakesh!


Price around 111€ in todays money.

Yet another of the countless ways baby boomers have somehow managed to live through every stage of life at the optimum moment :smile:

Very little in the way of obligatory reservations either - am I right in thinking it was just night trains back then?
