Derekm Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Anyone flying with Lufthansa, they offer a train package for €30 each way to anywhere in Germany, covers day before flight, day of & day after travel. Should cover us getting from Frankfurt to Munich on 13th, to Stuttgart on 23rd then to Frankfurt for home on 24th. Only other train we need & have booked so far is for matches in Cologne.

Generally getting from one destination to another will be very fan friendly and not difficult. If you stay in the Western area of Germany with those 4-5 host stadiums (Cologne, Dusseldorf, Dortmund, Schalke, Frankfurt) all will be smooth.

stitch Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Hi I'm another one staying in Mannheim. It looks like we are not on any of the free rail travel lines. So it's best to book return train to Cologne and Stuttgart or is there a way of using the free lines, then booking the train for part of the journey?

No. Either 29€ ticket if you have match ticket or Deutschland ticket for regional trains only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitch Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Thanks. We have match tickets. Do we pre book or just take our chances at the station?

From Mannheim to Cologne and Stuttgart you would have to pre-book. Double check if your fare is below or above 29€ per person. If above then try to get those 29€ tickets per trip. But for interregional trains you will have to pre book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyonhibs Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 We're arriving from Zurich at around 2pm. Got a hotel between the stadium and the centre, no tickets and unlikely to get any realistically. Which of the 2 fan zones are likely to be moist popular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t go to Tanzbrunnen, that’s off city centre. The one in old town will be best. Also Zulpicher Street with all the bars and Aachener Weiher with beer garden are places you would go to.

There's no seat reservations possible on these, just turn up on the day and hope you get a seat. Tickets are available on the bahn.de web-site, although if you were at the match, your match ticket will still be valid on local trains (which the RE are) on the day after the game.

Thats what I suspected. Might just book on the earlier ICE train just to be safe even though it means we have to get up earlier and pay a bit more.

Take earliest train that brings you to Düsseldorf Flughafen Fernbahnhof, NOT Terminal Station. You won’t win much time with ICE compared to RE, RE is fine mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I correct in thinking that the Flughafen Fernbahnhof is connected to the airport by the sky train? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
