Travelling Germany by Train on the Cheap

by Todd on June 26, 2009

As of 16 June 2009 and through the end of the year, Deutsche Bahn (the German national rail company) is offering train ticket specials that are worth consideration:

If you are travelling solo or in an odd-numbered group, the Dauzer Spezial should be of interest.  It allows the purchase of one 2nd-class return ticket anywhere within Germany for only €29 EUR!  These tickets are limited and come with a few not-so-oppressive conditions:

  • Must book at least 3 days in advance
  • Night trains will require a supplement
  • Can purchase over the internet or at a DB vending machine (it is an extra €5 EUR for booking over the counter or telephone)

We’ve also heard (but sadly have not been able to confirm) a similar special that is an even better deal for those travelling as a pair or in an even-numbered group – the Germany Special ticket.  For only €49 EUR you get two 2nd-class return tickets anywhere within Germany (€24.50 per person)!

Once you have compared your tranport options with Passport Junkie and have decided that the train is how you want to travel – take advantage of these offers!
