€63 and three borders: the German ticket that leaves Germany

A €63 German train ticket that takes you into Austria, Switzerland and France 🚆 For a slow month in Germany it's the best-value ticket in Europe, and I'd build a whole trip around it. The Deutschland-Ticket is a monthly pass for regional and local transport across Germany. €63 a month in 2026, reportedly rising to €66.80 in January 2027. It's a subscription, so cancel by the 10th for the end of that month. The part almost nobody knows: some regional lines run across the border to shared stations, and the ticket goes with them. 🇦🇹 Salzburg and Kufstein in Austria 🇨🇭 Schaffhausen in Switzerland 🇫🇷 Wissembourg and Lauterbourg in France The catch, and it's a big one: it is not valid on ICE, IC, EC or FlixTrain. On those you need a normal ticket. Check the exact routes on bahn.de before you cross a border. 👉 Swipe for where it takes you and what it doesn't cover. Save this for your trip and send it to who you'd go with. Slow regional trains or fast ICE, which are you? 👇 📷 GWANGJIN GO / Unsplash
