Why Travel as a Group?

Planning Security

Instead of many individual bookings, you receive a combined allocation. This guarantees that all participants travel on the same train and arrive together.

Sit Together

With group bookings, a connected seat reservation is often easier to arrange, so the exchange and experience begins already on the train.

Whether school trip, club outing, or corporate event - Deutsche Bahn's group offers make traveling as a team comfortable and stress-free. From 6 people, special fares are available tailored to the needs of larger groups.

  • Valid in ICE, IC, and EC
  • Seat reservation included
  • Outward & return plannable
