Tickets for long-distance trains (ICE, IC/EC, RJ)
Tickets for regional trains (RE, RB, S)
For local trains, you can on the one hand use the booking platforms mentioned for long distance trains above to book a single or return ticket.
- What are regional trains? Regional trains usually have names or train numbers that are numbered with RE... or RB or S...
- Attention: DO NOT use the long distance trains painted in white (e.g., ICE and IC)
- Attention: Most tickets are personalized, so carry a valid ID / passport for inspection
- In addition to single tickets, there are special tickets which you might to consider buying for your stay:
- Bayern-Ticket (Regional day ticket for Bavaria) This ticket is valid in all regional trains and most buses, trains, and trams in transport association services. The ticket is valid from 9:00 am until 3:00 am of the following day (on weekends and public holidays from midnight onwards) and costs 27 EUR for one person (+9 EUR for every additional person, max. 5 people) in second class. First class is more expensive.
- Quer-Durchs-Land-Ticket (Day ticket for local transportation Germany): Similar to Bayern-Ticket but valid all over Germany for one day. Again, The ticket is valid from 9:00 am until 3:00 am of the following day (on weekends and public holidays already from midnight onwards). It costs 44 EUR for one person (+7 EUR for every additional person, max. 5 people) in second class. First class is not available.
- Deutschland-Ticket (Monthly ticket for local transportation in Germany): Similar to the ticket above, but valid for a whole calendar month. It costs 49 EUR in second class for one person.
- WARNING: This ticket uses a subscriber model. Most resale points apply the official rules which indicate that you can only cancel the subscription in case you cancel before the 10th day of the last month (i.e. for a ticket in September 2023, you would have had to cancel before September 10, 2023 – if you book it now, in most cases you also get a ticket for October). So make sure to cancel your subscription right away!
- Our recommendation: We found an provider which a) allows to cancel the subscription if you cancel more than 24 hours before the end of the month (German time probably) and b) it allows you to buy and use your ticket through an app. So if you want to buy and use the Deutschland-Ticket only in September, please follow the instructions at https://en.mopla.solutions/en/tickets/deutschlandticket
- More details can be found at https://int.bahn.de/en/offers/regional/deutschland-ticket. But we DO NOT recommend buying your ticket there due to the subscription problem mentioned above.
