Traveling Germany?

Question

I am traveling to Germany. I already bought a train ticket which gets me to all my stops but two. I need to get from Berlin to Potsdam and back, which is about a 36 min distance. The other place I have to get is from Dusseldorf to Dortmund and back, which is a 54 min distance. Does anyone have any idea how to travel? Or some good websites or somthing. Thank you.

Answer 1

Taxi is cheap and your protected better than the Zug.Germany is beautiful especially this time of tear,Wish I was going back.Have fun.

Answer 2

Easiest way is just to purchase your tickets as you need them.

The trainstations (Bahnhofen) have automated ticket machines, with instructions in English.

From there, you can hop a bus/tram to get where you need to go in town.

Answer 3

Try checking out the German Rail web page. It has a section for the international traveler that is in English. I am confident that there is a commuter train or bus that can take you to your desired destination.

Answer 4

I am not sure about Dusseldorf to Dortmund but look on http://www.bahn.de  click on the british flag for english.

But from Berlin to Postdam you can buy a A,B,C  ticket for Euro 6 from any train or S-bahn station ticket machine.  They are good for that whole day until 3 am the next morning for any and all public transportation (bus, subway (Ubahn), trolley (Sbahn) and trains) in and around Berlin all the way to Potsdam and around Potsdam.

I was there a few weeks ago and got the ABC ticket then just for grins rode down to Postdam, jumped a bus over to Schloss Sansucci (?)  and then back to Berlin.

Hope you have a few days there.. lots to see and do.

Great view.. goto Alexander Platz, go up in the telecommunications tower to the viewing platform.

Answer 5

You probably don't find those two since you can reach them with socalled S-Bahns (subway). If you go to the trainstation of those two cities you won't have any problem finding a connection to your destinations!

Answer 6

Answer 7

Excellent advise in earlier comments, and let me add you can get a lot of info at www.bahn.de . You can access this site in English if you don"t read German.
