How much do Trains tickets in Germany cost?
The cheapest Trains fare in Germany is €11.88 for one passenger, across the 19,960 routes we sell there. The median route runs 147 km in a straight line, which is the distance that fare should be read against before comparing it to anywhere else.
Can I travel out of Germany by Trains?
5704 of the Trains routes we sell touching Germany cross a border and 14256 stay inside it, reaching 14 other countries including Netherlands, Poland, Italy. Cross border routes are usually the ones where the fare and the journey time differ most between operators.
Which operators run Trains services in Germany?
84 operators run Trains services on routes we sell in Germany: Abellio Rail, Abellio Rail Mitteldeutschland, Agilis, AKN Eisenbahn, alex - Die Länderbahn GmbH DLB. Each is a real carrier from the published operator catalog, and each has its own fares and conditions. The operator table on this page compares them on speed, flexibility and what is on board.
What is the longest Trains route in Germany?
The longest Trains route we sell touching Germany runs from Barcelona to Dortmund, 1,196 km in a straight line. The median route in the country is 147 km, so this one is a considerable outlier and the fares on it behave differently from the rest.
Where these numbers come from
Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modeled number pass for a filed one.
