How to get cheap train tickets in Germany? |
Travel Info I'd like to travel across Germany via train, but I've looked at the Deutsche Bahn website and the tickets seem to be very expensive. Can you book cheap train tickets really far in advance? I'd like to go over several routes, including Eindhoven-Szczecin, Eindhoven-Flensberg and a return from Hamburg-Munich Travel Tips The best place to go is http://www.bahn.de/p/view/international/... Take a Euro Rail ticket and go across Europe at the lowest price Others That's a crap answer. I think shortstuf_2's answer was the best. (this is from the Asker) They have specials sometimes but i don't think they are always on the page that is translated into English. If you go to the actual German language page of Deutsche Bahn look for special promotions. Sometimes they just don't have them and you have to pay regular fare. I don't think you can book more than 90 days in advance unless you buy a train pass in the states before you leave, but those aren't cheap either. try ltu LTU airlines Train tickets are expensive in Germany - there is no way around it. The one trick you have (Sparticket) has already been explained to you. The other is with regional train tickets, but it will not help you very much as you are going internationally. There is also the option of Eurail, but it might not be worth it. Check out Rick Steve's site: http://ricksteves.com/rail/rail_menu.htm... . He has got an excellent guide to rail prices in Europe and can help you calculate which railway pass you might need. Note also that Eindhoven is a stop on quite a lot of international bus routes. For example, you could go Eindhoven-Hamburg or Berlin by bus and then connect by train to Flensburg or Szczecin respectively. See http://www.eurolines.com for more info. http://www.skyscanner.net will help you find cheap flights within Europe. If you are making lots of trips through Germany it might be worth getting a Bahncard 50. It costs a couple of hundred but might save you more than that. Have a look at the DB website and do some calculations...enjoy your time here! |
