Unfortunately, the 9-euro ticket is a thing of the past and train travel is more expensive again. But as of today, Deutsche Bahn can buy tickets for travel from December 11th. And they are still very cheap. If you want to get on the train around Christmas, you should strike.
Deutsche Bahn tickets can now be booked for the Christmas period. Because as of today, Deutsche Bahn will activate sales for the winter timetable. Normally, train tickets can always be booked 6 months in advance - but for trips starting on December 11th, this is only possible from October 12th.
And if you already know when and where the journey is going, you should strike now. This increases the chances of getting a cheap ticket. Because the closer the travel period approaches, the more expensive the tickets become. Bahnangebote.de reports that anyone who wants to book cheap tickets for trips after December 11, for example for the Christmas season or around the turn of the year, should do so now.
In this way, for example, 2nd class can be traveled from Berlin to Hamburg in around two hours on December 23 for only 17.90 euros. If the booking is made with a BahnCard 25 or 50, only 13.40 euros have to be paid. But it also starts at 12:22 a.m. In more civilized times, the trip can be had for around 26 euros. If you have it a little further, you can get as far as Munich for the same price. However, in 10:02 hours. The journey does not start until 9:26 p.m. On the other hand, if you want to go to Cologne, you can do so at 9.46 a.m. or one hour later in 4 hours and 23 minutes for the same price.
What all offers have in common is the limited availability. That's why it's important to book now. If you want, you can do so right here.
According to the Pro Bahn passenger association, those whose planning is not yet advanced enough to make a decision now should choose Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as Saturdays before 10 a.m. or after 8 p.m. from a price point of view. Even then, trips were cheaper in the past. Due to the workload, Fridays and Sundays should be avoided, as well as the days immediately before and after Christmas, as well as New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
