How do I use my pass once I get to Europe?
One of the great things about a Eurail pass is the ease of use and convenience. Before the first time you use it, you must present your rail pass and passport at a train station ticket window for validation, prior to boarding the train. This is only necessary the first time. After that, you have the freedom of unlimited travel all day according to the validity of your pass. If you have a flexipass, the only thing you would need to do is fill in the date box for the day you want to travel.
