Eurail pass (for non European citizens) and Interrail pass (for European citizens) is great when you wanna train travel in Europe. From what I can tell, they work the same way - only seems to be a price difference from what i can tell.
Both passes can be bought as global (can travel between 31 of the European countries as of now) or one country only (exists for 27 countries as of now, and you can chose how many travel days you want and for how long it will be valid.
I've personally used Interrail and found it really easy to use, and even though it costs a bit, it's at least cheaper than if I would have bought all the tickets separately.

People say it cheaper to fly to get to your Country destinations, but isnt it cheating, why get there quicker when you can catch a train across Europe and explore different towns and cities, i'm from the United Kingdom and i'm planning to travel by train from London St Pancras to Lisbon Portugal in April 2018, I'm planning to Catch the Eurostar from London to Brussel and catch the night Sleeper train from Brussel to Lisbon and book into a Hotel for a few night and then fly home, it only takes 24 hours by train and its a Great way to travel. Get out there and enjoy life.

And sometimes it goes faster than a flight with the plane. Example: From Munich to Berlin. If you start from the center of the city and finish in the center. Do you need the same time = 3h.
Train stations are mostly in the middle of the city and airports are far outside. Then you have to be there an hour earlier on the Airports. Wait until the plane starts flying and after landing you go back to the center.
Btw. if you plan your journey a few weeks ago you can get a train ticket around for 19, 99 - 39, 99. A Plane ticket cost almost over 100.

I just want to say I really appreciate your videos and your insight on traveling the world. You are a blessing! haha. I am traveling europe by myself next year for 35 days. And my budget is $12, 000. It's someone like you I would like to ask for advice. Is my budget a bit extreme? or is it typical? I want to save of course.
Anyways, thank you very much on all the information, I will definitely be booking hotels and reserving everything from trains to city tours. Taxi's are something I need to learn about since every country is different

The best thing about traveling by train is imo, that you mostly arrive in the city center, or at least near the center. When you go by plane you always have to move the the airport, which is outside of the city (and thus mostly a 20-30 minute train ride from the central station) and you also only arrive at the outside of the city. in contrast to that you have central sataions like Amsterdam, Berlin or Rome

6: 45 sorry but this is not true, with ICE trains (Germany) you can't just get any train if you miss yours. There are different offers. So if you have booked the so called spar or in englisch the economy ticket, than you cannot just get the next train, if you've missed yours. This only works if you have booked the flexible ticket which is more expensive. Than you are allowed to take the next train.

Maybe the fourth thing is outdated. I used the German train website to book a tickets from Berlin to Wien (through Prague, so three countries. It was great to use the internet because I had time to compare prices for different times and think about the connections. One itinerary had a real short connection time in Prague. I wisely decided against it.

Why does everybody take a plane in America. In Europe and Asian taking a train is better because You just simply go to station and go on a train. No security crap to check. And high speed train is very fast I was took an ice 3M from Frankfurt, Germany to Nijmegen, Netherlands. It was very smooth even at 300km/h and it very convenient.
