Germany traveling?

Question

I want to traveling in germany , what is the cheapest way for traveling among cities ? ( for example from berlin to munich )

Answer 1

The cheapest way is of course hitchhiking!

But I'm not sure if that's what you want to do. Another good alternative to travel between bigger cities is the internet site www.mitfahrgelegenheit.de - people there offer a ride from one city to another with their car cause they go anyway, you have to pay about 5 euro per 100 km. Usually you can find a ride there two days to one week before you want to start.

Train is very comfortable, but also very expensive in germany (expect to pay about 10 to 15 euro per 100 km). For information try www.bahn.de

Answer 2

Definitely use the train!

Go to the link below and look up a "eurodomino" pass for Germany. I used to work for Rail Europe and this pass is the cheapest way to get around most countries in Europe.

Answer 3

Stay at youth hostels.  And I believe that a flight would be cheaper.  I depends upon what you want, exactly, out of traveling between cities.  Airplane fast, train scenic.

Answer 4

I'd go with a train, being that yopu can probably travel all of the way to your destination with few transitions, unlike a bus.  The airplane would be fast, but expensive.

Answer 5

I would recommed Train. There is a weekend ticket that will get you there for cheap, if you are traveling all over then the pass is the way to go. When you get to your destination Hostels are the cheapest place to stay. To translate the website go to a translation site like http://www.babelfish.altavista.com/.

Gute Reise

Answer 6

stay at youth hostel and buy the EuroPass for traveling by train. Also, don't eat out alot, but buy food at the farmers markets in the city and that should save you alot of money. I hope that you enjoy your trip. Germany is a wonderful place to visit.

Answer 7

Train is much more fun because you see something of the country while you go as well.

As a comparison: I will never forget how much I enjoyed a ride on the Greyhond bus through USA!

Answer 8

The cheapest way is probably by plane. Germanwings and Deutsche BA often have good offers. Other companys might be good too. But I would recommand another way of traveling. You could try hitch hiking even to go to Berlin is much easier then to leave. That way you meet people and might hear interesting storys. Anotherway is http://www.mitfahrgelegenheit.de it is a homepage where you can find people who are driving from a city to another and are looking for people to share the costs.

Or go by train. There are many different trains and tickets. The cheapest would be the weekendticket which is valid for all regional trains on one weekendday, but regional trains are slow and you have to change a lot. An IC often is a bit cheaper then the ICE and doesn't take much longer.

There are also Buses. They are cheap when you book them at least a month before. But it is not really common to travel by bus in Germany.

I hope that will help you, if you have any more questions feel free to ask (I am German)

Answer 9

You can buy a "Happy Weekend" (Schoenes Wochenende) pass from Deutsche Bahn that is valid from Friday at 7pm until Sunday at midnight. It cost 33 Euro, you have unlimited train travel during this time, and up to 5 peope can ride on one ticket. It is a long, slow journey because you can't take the fast trains, but if you want to do it cheaply that is probably the best way.

Answer 10

Traveling in Germany is better with train, it's cheap. The planes prices is very high. I want to go from Frankfurt/M. to Berlin (for 45 minutes fly) on Holidays and the price was for roundtrip 300 Euro. That's to much.

Answer 11

By train, there is a change of trains in Hannover...on the Berlin-Munich route....

Answer 12

Answer 13
