Product Description

Tickets & Reservations

European train tickets are divided into "tickets" and "seat reservations." Holding a rail pass is considered as having the "ticket."

When making reservations, depending on the train schedule and type, it can be categorized as: mandatory reservation, recommended reservation, or no reservation needed. Most train types and routes in Germany do not require reservations.

With the pass, if you encounter sudden schedule changes, train delays, etc., you can directly switch to other trains or schedules.

German Rail Pass Coverage

The German Rail Pass is valid for travel on routes operated by the national railway company DB. During the validity period of the pass, you can enjoy unlimited travel on Deutsche Bahn trains. The rail pass fare does not include seat reservations, meals, or sleeper accommodations. You can use the Rail Planner app to find out which train types are covered and whether reservations are required.
