The European Commission will implement the program through which young people will receive a free train ticket on their 18th birthday to travel for one month across 30 European countries. The EC intends to allocate EUR 12 million, which will also benefit Romanian youth.
The Commission is set to finalize the application process for young people to receive the Interrail train ticket, valued at up to EUR 510.
The program’s goal is to help young people broaden their horizons and gain a clearer understanding of the traditions, culture, and customs of other states.
With the ticket provided by the European Union, young people will be able to travel for one month through Europe, and the ticket is also valid for alternative modes of transport, such as ferries or buses in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, or Cyprus.
The first beneficiaries of the program will be able to travel with the free Interrail ticket as early as this summer.
