Chances are, if you’ve made it this far you’ve already started mentally planning your Interrail adventure. I don’t mean to ruin the fun, but it’s worth noting that there are a few safety precautions to keep in mind, particularly if you’re traveling alone.

Don’t do anything you’re not comfortable doing, such as walking around at night in neighbourhoods you’ve never been in.
Also, keep your documents in a safe place and make sure your phone is always charged, in case you need to translate something or find your way. Finally, do your research in advance to guarantee that you’re aware of any cultural particularities.
