Deutsche Bahn (DB) trains offer specific conditions for travelers journeying with children, ensuring a family-friendly experience across German railways. Here's what you need to know:
-
Children under the age of 6: do not require a ticket or a seat reservation when traveling on German trains. If you add a child under the age of 6 to your booking, their name will not appear on your e-ticket. This makes traveling with young children on Deutsche Bahn trains more convenient and stress-free.
-
Children between the ages of 6 and 14: travel for free in Germany when accompanied by their parents or grandparents, highlighting the family-friendly nature of German railways. They must have a ticket to travel, so be sure to include them as a passenger when making your reservation. It's important to note that this free travel benefit does not extend to cross-border journeys between Germany and France. You must buy them a ticket if traveling between these two countries, ensuring compliance with international travel regulations on DB trains.
