I am 26 and just missed Eurails super discount opportunity.
Can I lie on my application?
Is there any hope?
Are there better train or transportation alternatives than Eurail?
I plan on crossing from Portugal to Spain, to France, to Switzerland in a month time span.
Any advice is appreciated, I am leaving soon.

Wow, why have I been ignoring Portugal for so long? Perhaps it's not just a poor man's Spain.....

it's often cheaper to buy point to point tickets and skip on getting an eurail ticket, saved myself £50

The interrailling ticket means you don't have to get specific trains, I'd much rather fork over the extra bit of cash to not have the hassle of catching specific trains, but I suppose it really depends on the person.
Also to OP, I don't think you'll get away with it but I could be wrong.
I believe you have to show a valid ID card to go, so seems you're out of luck.

M8, it's better than fucking Spain
>>1128462
Yeah, I am beginning to learn that it offers a certain amount of more flexibility so I don't have to catch specific trains.

What makes you say that?
You prefer Lisbon to Madrid?

Unless you use a fake ID

You can always buy an ID that will say you were born in 2000 instead of 1974.

Well it is cheaper than Spain, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it, great food, people were really nice, great weather and a lot of cool architecture.
>>1127864
If you can still pass for under 26, it might be a good idea to get a fake ID. You get tons of discounts in a lot of places. Not just eurorails. In France most state-run museums and things like that are free for under-26 euro citizens. I'm sure other countries do the same.

Literally only thing it has that Spain doesn't is lower prices.
Hi everyone, OP here, thanks for all the great responses! This makes me look forward to Portugal even more! Got any recommendations for other places to see in Portugal other than Lisbon?
