Eurorail is a company based in the Netherlands.  The company sells tickets to non-Europeans and these tickets allow you to access to all European railroads and some shipping lines.  If you have decided to visit Europe, this is the best way to see multiple countries than to take a Eurorail vacation.  You could take a guided tour but that limits what you can see and do on your own time.  You could drive on your own but that presents many dangers.  Traveling by train is also the cheapest way to make your way through Europe and if you decide to purchase the Eurorail Pass, you will receive discounts on hotels, museums, bus travel and ferry crossings.

The best thing about a Eurorail is you can sit in comfort and watch the scenery through large windows and not have to worry about watching the road.  You can get off the train wherever you want; there is no set schedule.  This means that if the train stops somewhere that you are not very interested in seeing, you do not have to get off the train and if you do want to see a place, you can get off the trail and get back on the next day if you wish as long as you have your pass.

There are different types of Eurorail passes.  The Eurorail Global Pass allows you to travel in twenty European countries and lasts from ten days to three months depending on how long you want to travel for and the price for this pass starts at $500.00.  There are many other types of passes that you can purchase as well depending on how long you want to travel for and what countries you want to see.
