As of 2026, the original "9-euro ticket" from the summer of 2022 no longer exists, but its successor, the Deutschland-Ticket (D-Ticket), is widely available for purchase online. However, the price has increased to €63 per month as of January 1, 2026. You can buy this ticket through the DB Navigator app, the Deutsche Bahn website, or various local transit apps like MVV (Munich) or VBB (Berlin). It is important to remember that the 2026 version is a digital-only subscription model. You cannot simply buy a one-off ticket for a single month without signing up for a recurring plan, though you can cancel the subscription by the 10th of the month if you only need it for a short period. The ticket is valid for unlimited travel on all local and regional transport (RE, RB, S-Bahn, U-Bahn) across Germany, but it remains invalid for high-speed ICE, IC, or EC trains. For tourists in 2026, the D-Ticket remains the most cost-effective way to explore the country, provided they manage the digital subscription correctly via their smartphone.
