Germany is a great place for train travel due to its extensive 35,000km rail network that connects cities, towns and villages. Deutsche Bahn (DB) enables visitors to discover every corner of the country in an environmentally friendly way – in comfort and without stress.

Deutsche Bahn AG was founded in 1994. Today, it is one of the world’s leading passenger and logistics companies, operating in over 130 countries.
