"We've seen the popularity of travelling in the off-peak travel season increase as more and more international travellers catch on to the benefits of travelling throughout Europe once the summer crowds have returned home," says Silvia Görlach, Eurail Group's Sales and Marketing Manager.

"Europe in the autumn and winter months is an attractive and affordable experience. Not only can our Eurail customers access unlimited rail travel throughout Europe with a 20 percent saving or free travel day, but they can also take advantage of reduced airfares to Europe, cheaper accommodation rates, and shorter queues for popular attractions," adds Ms. Görlach.

During the cooler months, Europe still has plenty to offer. With a thriving and welcoming atmosphere, destinations across Europe provide something for every traveller with traditional markets, winter festivals, snow sports and unique cultural exhibitions all in full swing. Eurail Pass holders in search of warmer temperatures can still opt to head south towards the Mediterranean coastline or Greek Islands.

Customers who purchase a Eurail Global or Select Pass at the special reduced rate before 31 December, 2015 can travel in Europe up until 1 April 2016. Eurail Global Passes are valid for travel in 28 European countries and give international guests the freedom and flexibility to create their own journey. Eurail Select, Regional and One Country Passes provide options for travellers simply looking to explore between one and four Eurail participating countries in more depth.

Eurail Passes are available from a worldwide network of Authorised General Sales Agents. For more information please visit: http://www.eurailgroup.org/eurail-vendors.
