Well almost free, because in certain countries like France and Spain you still need to pay for seat reservations for anyone travelling.īut the cost of the passes for two adults, plus seat reservations were cheaper than just booking direct trains and much cheaper than flying (more on costs below).

Now it offers passes that can be used for 4, 5 or 7 days a month – perfect for travel to a few destinations in a short space of time.Īnd, this was the clincher – Interrail passes for under 11s are free if they are with an adult. I did Interrailing as an 18-year- old and it was a great way to spend a month travelling around Europe (and Morocco) but had never thought it could be an option for a quickish trip to Portugal and back.īut Interrail has changed a bit since 1996 and indeed since 1972 when it was first launched for under 21s. We were about to book the tickets when friend who was travelling by rail through Europe mentioned the Interrail option. It was the quickest way without flying, as far as we could see. It would be mean Paris to Portugal in two days – or to be precise 7 hours to Barcelona, one night in a hotel, before a five-and-half-hour train journey to Seville and a three-hour car journey.

Normally we’d have flown – as we did when we went to the same region of Portugal in October – but the stories of airport chaos, delays, cancellations, strikes and never-ending queues around Europe at the start of the summer made the prospect of taking the plane far less appealing. “We” in this case being a family of four including two children aged 5 and 7, one fairly easygoing mum and a dad (me) who increasingly comes out in a rash when he goes near an airport. We didn’t have that much time to spend travelling there and back so the dilemma was how could we get there, fairly quickly? We needed to get from Paris to Portugal, or to be more precise the western edge of the Algarve in southern Portugal, for a week-long family holiday. It meant that the rule only affected tourists. So cash-strapped municipalities reacted by bringing in the overnight or ‘bed taxes’ taxes.ĭue to a ruling from the Federal Administrative Court in 2012, “professionally compulsory” overnight stays are exempt from the tax everywhere. At the beginning of 2010, the tax rate dropped from 19 to 7 percent on hotels and overnight stays. Hotels in Germany were relieved of paying some value added tax (VAT) several years ago.

But it can vary – in Hamburg, for example, the amount is staggered according to the price of the overnight stay. However, in some places a fixed amount has to be paid, like €3 per guest per night. This is normally around five percent, and it’s added automatically onto the bill. It’s nicknamed that because visitors usually have to pay a certain percentage of the overnight price of accommodation per guest per night. The ‘bed tax’ has been in place in Germany since 2005.
