Introducing the Germany Ticket: Unlimited Travel Across Germany for €58 per Month
Starting from 2025, travelers will have the opportunity to purchase the Germany (Deutschland) Ticket, a digital subscription offering unlimited travel on local and regional public transport throughout Germany. However, it's essential to note that this ticket does not cover long-distance trains like ICE, IC, or EC.
Purchasing the Germany Ticket
The easiest way to acquire the Germany Ticket is through the DB Navigator app or the DB website, both available in English. However, purchasing on DB Navigator might require a German bank account and IBAN. Alternatively, you can use platforms such as Ticket Plus Plus, which accept credit card, PayPal, Google Pay, or Apple Pay.
Additionally, you can subscribe via local transport authority websites or apps, such as MVV for Munich. If you have friends or family in Germany, they can help you register at a DB Reisebüro (travel office).
Using the Germany Ticket
