The International Union of Railways (UIC) celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1972. To mark the occasion, almost all European railway administrations came up with a unique offer – the Interrail ticket. This enabled young people aged 21 and under to travel around Europe by train from March to November for a very low price. The "Johann Strauß" express train, which connected the major metropolis on the Main River, Frankfurt, with the Austrian capital, Vienna – a popular tourist destination – was also included in this offer.
