Getting there
Getting around
- If you want to share a ride, try Mitfahrgelegenheit or Mitfahrzentrale. To find ride shares at many ride share sites simultaniously, try Fahrtfinder. Curious about the best site, visit Vergleich.org to see an overview (in German)
- Hitchiking is quite easy in Germany - http://www.hitchwiki.org helps! Also hitchbase ist worth to look at: http://www.hitchbase.com
- For train fares and offers, check http://www.bahn.de (Deutsche Bahn). It also covers many local stations (bus, tram, subway) which are not part of the Deutsche Bahn network.
Since January 2013 (liberalization of the coach market) you can travel on an increasing number of routes by bus. Cheap prices are available when booking early! Some examples:
- eurolines.de (Deutsche Touring) - e.g. Mannheim-Stuttgart
- BerlinLinienBus.de - to and from Berlin
- RVD.de - to and from Dresden
- MeinFernbus.de - southern Germany
- FlixBus.de - Germany and abroad
- https://www.postbus.de/ - Germany
To find the nearest public transport, you can use the map at http://www.�pnvkarte.de/ (uses OSM data).
If you want to compare flight fares (worldwide), http://www.skyscanner.net is very helpful.
http://www.verkehrsmittelvergleich.de/ claims to compare all available transport options: carsharing; busses, trains and planes.

There are A LOT of things to do throughout Germany. You probably best check the websites of particular cities or regions you want to visit.
