Tips & Warnings
Consider getting a Bahncard when you book online. If you intend spending several months in Germany, the Bahncard gives you a 50 percent automatic reduction on all your tickets and Rail Passes for a one-year period.
There are dining cars or BordBistros on most trains, but if you have special dietary needs that don't include lots of sausages, then visit a grocery store before you leave Dresden.
Many tickets to Munich require reservations, particularly for overnight trains. If so, the company will tell you when you book.
All phone numbers include the United States international prefix "011." When calling internationally outside the United States, substitute that "011" with "00."
All country codes are within parentheses and begin with a "+" sign.
