If you prefer to gaze at the scenery while travelling through Germany, trains will be your best bet. The German train company Deutsche Bahn does not only serve tourists and Germans visiting other cities, but it is essential for thousands of commuters travelling to work every day.
This does not come as a surprise since there are nearly 42,000 kilometers of railroad tracks that zigzag across the country. The Bahn has become increasingly more expensive over the years. Fortunately, it offers some good alternatives in the form of group tickets or weekend fares or discounts on monthly commuter tickets.
It may also be more relaxing than driving a car for longer trips, as the different types of trains offer various levels of comfort. This depends on your budget, of course. Another positive aspect about the Bahn is that they often cooperate with other countries’ train companies, such as those of Switzerland or Austria, in providing special offers for cross-country trips.
