Is everyone eligible for a Eurail Pass and can they be purchased in Europe?
Anyone is eligible to purchase a pass, except for residents in the countries of Europe, the Russian Federation, Turkey, Morocco, Algeria, or Tunisia. Since rail passes are intended for tourists, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to find an outlet for these passes in Europe. They can be purchased in the U.S. and shipped to Europe, however.
