Offer for travel in Germany

« on: February 14, 2013, 14:48:04 »

Hi All,

Nice offer for travel around Germany for 5 or 6 days

http://www.bahn.com/i/view/USA/en/prices/germany/german-rail-pass-big-four-promotion.shtml?dbkanal_009=L01_S02_D001_KNL0020_J2013M02T14-001_53547816695_ID5_LZ01

I have done a few of the trips and there are some nice views plus great trains

I just looked at this as it appears to be a very good offer. But it seems to be available only to people with a permanent address outside Europe.

"Please note:
The German Rail Pass offer only applies for people with permanent residence outside Europe, Turkey and the Russian Federation. If you are European and live outside Europe you must have left more than 6 months ago (the stamp in your passport is decisive)."

The inclusion of /USA/ in the website address would seem to indicate that this offer is aimed at transatlantic visitors.

Last time we stayed in Germany, in the Black Forest, we used B&B accommodation. Each night's stay got us a 24 hour travelcard for the following day valid on all local buses, trains, and trams - Complimentary as well.

As we were on a walking holiday, it was a fantastic unexpected add on enabling us to get to and from the walking routes, and even back to Baden Baden airport.

Would love to see it adopted in some of the tourist regions of the UK^▸ , but can't ever see that happening !

There used to be a similar included travel card scheme on the Isle of Wight - I'm going back a few years, so don't know if it is still available from hotels, guest houses, etc.

Hi 81F,

Didnt not notice the usa part. Was sent a marketing email. if anybody was intersted just give DB^» a ring to check.

Usually i just book in advance and get the Spar prices which are usually about 19 euros but this year they have increased a bit

Does it count if you are a little englander and always say you are travelling *to* Europe, as opposed to being already there? Grin
