German Rail Pass Flexi

The German Rail Pass is available to travellers whose place of residence is outside Germany.

When travelling in Germany, the German Rail Pass lets you travel as often as you like on all Deutsche Bahn trains. You can also use all trains operated by other rail companies that accept DB long-distance tickets.

Outside Germany, you can take DB trains to the following destinations:

• Basel Badischer Bahnhof (Switzerland)
• Salzburg, Kufstein and Innsbruck (Austria)
• Liège and Brussels (Belgium)
• Bolzano, Trento, Verona, Bologna and Venice (Italy)

You can book the German Rail Pass as early as 11 months before your journey begins.

Here you can find the prices for the German Rail Pass and the German Rail Twin Pass.
