5 Things You Should Know About the Deutschlandticket as a Tourist
Visiting Germany and hoping to get around without memorizing fare zones or buying a new ticket every time you board? The Deutschlandticket was made for exactly that. Here are five essential things to understand before you buy it.
1. What Exactly Is the Deutschlandticket?
The Deutschlandticket is a monthly subscription that gives you access to virtually all local public transport across Germany. That covers buses, regional trains, subways, trams, S-Bahn lines, and streetcars — all with one pass, no matter which city or region you find yourself in.
2. Why It Makes Sense for Tourists
Instead of figuring out single tickets and zone boundaries at every stop, the Deutschlandticket eliminates that friction entirely. You board, you go. Whether you're in Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, or a small town in Bavaria — it's the same ticket, the same process, zero guesswork.
3. How Much Does It Cost?
The Deutschlandticket costs €63 per month. Through TicketPlus+, that subscription also comes with added perks: free minutes for e-scooters and e-bikes, so you can cover the last mile without extra expense.
4. Can I Use It for Just One Month?
Yes. The Deutschlandticket works as a rolling monthly subscription, but you're not locked in. With TicketPlus+, you can pause your subscription up to 24 hours before the end of the month — which is ideal for visitors who only need the ticket for a short stay.
5. Where Do I Buy It?
You can purchase it directly online through TicketPlus+. The sign-up process is quick, and payment options include Apple Pay, Google Pay, and credit card — no bank account or German ID required.
