a presentation for foreigners about how to travel in Germany. How to find a place to stay, how to take the train, what to eat, and a few places to see.
2. Wie findet man eine
Übernachtungsmöglichkeit?
Check for Hostels on
www.booking.com
Put in the city you want to go to
Set a price limit
Check on the map, where in the city the
hostel is
3. Essen (gehen) in Deutschland
Eating outside in Germany is way more
expensive then in Taiwan
Nowadays even a Döner costs 250-400 NTD
Buying groceries is relatively cheap
Check if your Hostel has a kitchen and consider
cooking your own food
Maybe just grab some „Brötchen“ or Sandwiches
from the gocery store from time to time
4. Reisen innerhalb Deutschlands
„Deutschlandticket“ is 49€ per month 1700NTD
You can take every local train, bus, tram…
No highspeed-trains (IC, ICE)
„Interrail-Deutschland“ (or -Europe)
It is similiar to the TRA-Pass – but also includes
highspeed-trains (IC, ICE)
more expensive than the Deutschlandticket
„DB-Navigator-App“
Covers every kind of bus, train, tram, highspeed-train,…
in Germany
Great for checking how and when to get from A to B
Remember to check if it suggests IC/ICE – you may not
have a ticket for that! (Deutschlandticket f.e.)
5. Reisen innerhalb Deutschlands
Important Sidenotes
Depending on how long you stay in Germany and
how many different cities you want to see by train,
the previous options may not be worth it
Basically every region in Germany has ist own
transport-system
If you stay in one area, a single-journey or day-ticket or
3-day-ticket… of that region‘s transport-system may be the
best option
but: checking which transport-system and which ticket-
type of the respective system can be a huge mess
(even for Germans)
In Germany you dont swipe your ticket when
entering the public transport
you have to stamp your ticket the first time you use it, to
start the ticket‘s time-period (not for digital tickets 😉)
show the ticket to the bus driver or the ticket inspectors
