Train Travel in Germany

Although Germany is a very expensive country to travel in, there are plenty of bargains which can make it a cheap place to get around. If you're travelling by bus and want to see a bit more of Germany or if you just want to make you rail pass go further, plan your travelling for evenings and weekends or take advantage of one of the saver tickets available. Check the Deutsche Bahn web site (www.bahn.de) for more details.

SCHÖENS WOCHENENDE TICKET (HAPPY WEEKEND TICKET)

The Happy Weekend Ticket is one of Europe's greatest bargains. For a total of only €35 (€33 if you buy the it from a ticket machine) up to five people can travel all weekend on local trains. This ticket is valid on second class only. It is not valid on high speed or express trains so you'll have to change trains several times if you want to cover long distances.

GERMAN RAIL PASS

If you will be spending most of your time in Germany, a German Rail Pass may be just the ticket. These passes work in much the same way as the Eurail Flexipass, giving you 5, 10 or 15 days of travel within a one month period. Like Eurail passes, these tickets are only available to non-European travellers and you have to be 25 or younger to qualify for the youth fare.
