Fancy a little day trip in the neighboring country?

The 9-euro ticket makes this possible, at least on some routes.

You can find out what these are here.

Day-trippers have been able to use the 9-euro ticket since June 1 to travel inexpensively on regional transport in Germany.

However, there are a few things to consider - for example, there are trains on regional routes on which the 9-euro ticket may not be used.

But what about the regional trains that cross the border and stop at foreign stations?

Here, day trippers must pay attention to the regulations of the respective transport company.

Some accept the 9-euro ticket up to the first stop after crossing the border - others require a connecting ticket for the journey abroad.
