NEW EURAIL REGIONAL PASSES
EXPAND OPTIONS FOR DISCOVERING
EUROPE
 Czech
Republic-Germany and Germany-Poland Passes
available from April 1
Utrecht,
Netherlands, April 2, 2007 - Eurail Group has
introduced two new Regional Passes that widen the
options for discovering Europe.
Valid for travel in
two bordering European countries, Eurail Regional
Passes were developed to offer time-starved
travelers the opportunity to explore two countries
in depth. The two new combinations are Czech
Republic-Germany and Germany-Poland, bringing the
total number of Eurail Regional Passes up to 20 -
and offering travelers more freedom and choice in
planning rail travel.
The Eurail Czech
Republic-Germany Pass allows travelers to explore
Germany and the Czech Republic, its eastern
neighbor, with just one pass. The options in these
two jewels include the vibrant capitals of Berlin
and Prague, and two great European Rivers, the
romantic Rhine and the lovely Moldau. A train ride
away lie beautiful and impressive landscapes like
the Black Forest and Bohemian Woods, and pearls of
Middle European architecture in the magnificent
cities of Prague, Plzen, Nuremberg, Regensburg,
Magdeburg.
With this pass,
travelers can enjoy breakfast in a stylish Berlin
coffee shop, have lunch on the scenic banks of the
Elbe in Dresden, and a romantic dinner under the
Hradcany Castle in Prague. These are also the beer
capitals of Europe, with an immense variety from
world-known brands to the hidden gems of small-town
private breweries.
Fast, efficient,
high quality train service links both countries
several times a day. The EuroCity (EC) day trains,
for example, run between Berlin, Dresden and Prague
at two-hour intervals and the DB Nachtzug (night
train) offers comfort and style from Munich and
Frankfurt to Prague.
Poland has been
moving up the radar screens of savvy travelers
lately, and the new Eurail Germany-Poland Pass
makes it easier than ever to get around this
fascinating country. The exciting capitals of
Berlin and Warsaw are under six hours apart by
train. Beautiful landscapes like the Rhine valley
in Germany and the Baltic seashores of Poland are
much more impressive from the window of a train
than a plane. Enchanting, historic city centres of
Krakow, Wroclaw and Görlitz were made for
strolling, and off the beaten path, the unequalled
and genuine nature of Rügen Island in Germany
and the Masuren lake district of Poland beckon more
adventuresome travelers.
Superior quality
day and night trains link both countries several
times a day. EC day trains run between Berlin,
Poznan and Warsaw (Berlin-Warszawa-Express) and
night trains connect Frankfurt to Warsaw and Berlin
to Krakow.
The EURAIL Group
comprises 27 railways and shipping lines, as well
as several bonus partners. For more information
