What should I pay attention to when going to Germany?

traffic

Lufthansa is one of the top airlines in the world. At present, Lufthansa has daily flights from Hong Kong, Beijing and Shanghai to Frankfurt, the largest airport in Germany, with a flight time of about 12 hours.

The railway traffic in Germany is very developed, and every railway station has train schedules for various cities for people to check for free. The driving distance from Hamburg to Lubeck, Schwelien, Berlin and other cities is between 1 hour and 4 hours. If you need to take the train many times in a short time, it is recommended to buy a European train certificate.

Subway is the main means of transportation in the city, which is convenient and fast. Buying a multi-person ticket or a multi-day ticket is much more cost-effective than buying a one-way ticket.

Buying a welcome card in Berlin and getting a free ride within 72 hours can save transportation costs, and there are many discounts for sightseeing.

train

Train: Traveling by train is a tradition in Germany. Germany's railway network is the largest in the world. Railways connect all big cities and almost all small cities. For long distance, the Intercity Expressway (ICE) is the fastest and most comfortable mode of transportation. Short-distance trains are urban acceleration (SE), regional acceleration (re) and regional trains (RB).

Bahncard: The German railway train card is a discount card, valid for one year. In order to attract passengers, German railways constantly reformed the price system, and the train card discount method was changed again and again. At present, there are three kinds of train cards in German railways: 25%, 50% and 100%. The complicated price and discount system makes passengers and railway workers more confused. Train cards are a good way to save money for passengers who often take long-distance trains.

public transportation

Bus: In Germany, basically as long as there is a train, you should choose to take it. Compared with buses, buses are slow, unreliable and uncomfortable. However, the topography of some areas makes it difficult or impossible for trains to reach, such as the Haltz Mountains, parts of Bavarian forests and alpine hilly areas.

There is no national public transport system in Germany, which means that the public transport system is operated by many independent bus companies, which provide services in different regions and have their own price lists and timetables. In cities, the gathering place of buses is the bus terminal (bus terminal or ZOB), which is usually located near the central railway station. You can buy tickets directly from the bus company. Bus stops generally have bus company offices or ticket offices, or you can buy tickets directly from bus drivers after getting on the bus. Pay attention to information about special offers, such as one-day pass, one-week pass or special travel pass.

According to different destinations, the frequency of bus service is also different. When I was young, I might have three shifts a day, and sometimes it might be less on weekends. This commuter line will be out of service at the weekend. If you want to travel around by bus, you'd better remember these tips to avoid being trapped in remote areas and unable to return at weekends.
