Tips for your train journey
Many routes are operated jointly by Deutsche Bahn, ÖBB (Austrian Railways), and SBB (Swiss Railways). It’s worth checking your preferred route with all three providers, as this can often lead to a particularly good deal. In addition, so-called “saver fares” can be booked up to three days before your travel date. These discounted tickets are usually more widely available during the week than at weekends.
Note for families
Infants up to one day before their sixth birthday travel for free on the ÖBB Standard Ticket. After that, half price applies for children up to their 15th birthday.
If you’re planning to travel on a long-distance train, we recommend reserving a seat in advance. For a small additional charge, this ensures you can sit back and relax without the stress of finding a seat.
