Travelling around Europe with an Interrail or Eurail pass? We can help you snag up to 20% in discounts at all Famous Hostels destinations, and travel sustainably. Let us show you how!
Europe’s Famous Hostels has hosted thousands of backpackers in our nearly 30 years of business. And InterRail has helped those avid travellers get from one great destination to the next. Yet, a topic that has been creeping up more and more in recent years is climate change. And considering the impact travel has on the planet, it would be irresponsible to not try and do something. We have a great deal to get up to 20% discount at the Famous Hostels in Europe with Interrail.
The European Travel Commission (ETC) deemed 2021 as the Year of Rail, with intentions of drawing more attention and interest in train over plane travel. Furthermore, the ETC hosted an open call for European based companies to pitch their campaign ideas on how to do exactly that. And Europe’s Famous Hostels won!
In an effort to help travellers keep exploring, but also do our part to protect the planet, we’re launching Eco-Wanderer: a campaign aimed at motivating travellers to choose trains over planes. No hassle, no gimmicks. Just simple rewards for doing the right thing. You get to see the world, we get to reward you. Sounds like a dream, right?

Perché scegliere i treni piuttosto che gli aerei? Perché scegliere un ostello piuttosto che un hotel?
Europe has a well connected train system, meaning you can more or less avoid air travel. Travelling by train, or ‘Interailing’, has been common for years, but has recently seen a surge in popularity. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, governments all over the continent are working on (if they haven’t already) the reintroduction of night trains.
In addition to ‘interrailing’ being a un modo più ambientalista di viaggiare, it’s far more relaxing than flying. Trains are also much more accommodating if you’re looking to get some work done between points, or if you just want to stretch your legs. Ditch the long queues at airport security and hop onboard!
Hostels are no longer seen as the dark and dingy budget solution they once were. Nowadays, they’re sicuri & e un ottimo modo per incontrare persone nuove, scambiarsi idee o storie e, naturalmente, bere qualche drink. E sono adatti proprio a tutti: backpackers, giovani coppie, famiglie, anziani e persino per chi è in viaggio per affari
. Soggiornare in uno dei nostri ostelli significa anche avere la garanzia di dormire in ostelli con ottime recensioni,. Located in 38 amazing destinations across Europe and Israel, we’re sure you’ll find something to fit your needs & in una tappa del vostro viaggio!
