Deutsche Bahn June/July/Aug 2022 Deal

[RB]

Stumbled upon this promotion in my readings today. Fares go on sale tomorrow. Edited to add further link 9-Euro-Ticket

Germany's €9 travel pass is coming this summer | CNN Travel

Bought mine for August.

Will be saving enough traveling from the airport into the city.

Doesn't include the high speed IC or ICE trains though.

I'll be within Frankfurt, Berlin and Bavaria so will come in very handy

The site was overloaded last night during the start of the promotion but working fine for us this morning. Looks like it will save us around 40 Euro each without changing any plans

It's really an excellent deal. You could easily travel all over Germany using regional trains! (Sure, they're a bit slower as they stop everywhere, but this way you can also hop off and see more things along the way.)

Brilliant deal for only 9 Euro!!

I was getting a ticket to MUC from the city and it was €12.10. A quick rethink and I saved money on the first trip!

Haha that's exactly how I thought it would pan out

Trouble is now I am thinking of how to get back to Germany to make use of it some more!

If you enjoy wineries, head to " newtown on the wine road" near Mannheim ish

Or the sinshiem tech museum where they have Concorde, near Heidelberg

Me too! I’m currently on a regional train, trying to work out if I can wrangle an extension to my trip. The ticket would have cost me €30 normally. I made my travel plans and booked an ICE out of Germany before the €9 ticket announcement. Otherwise I’d probably have stuck around a bit longer.

I expected the train to be packed because of the discounted travel, but there are plenty of spare seats. It makes a nice change from the packed flights.

Many hours of enjoyment!

I bought a pass for July, not going to be able to use it now,

 

[daft009]

Yeah I climbed inside both the tupalov and the Concorde back in 2015

Didn't have time for Speyer though

There's now talk in the German media about replacing this with a €69 monthly ticket from September.

I will stick to my 9 Euro one in August me thinks. I am spending an extra 2 days in Germany. Any tips for Heidelberg or Mainz?
