Can I go to Berlin with 9-euro ticket?

For more about how to navigate public transport in Germany see Public Transport in Germany. A 9-euro monthly ticket bought in Berlin could be used on public transport there and anywhere else in Germany. If you were in Munich or Hamburg, the ticket you bought in Berlin was valid there as well.



No, you cannot travel to Berlin (or anywhere else in Germany) with the original 9-euro ticket in 2026, as that specific promotion was a temporary relief measure that expired at the end of August 2022. It has been permanently replaced by the Deutschlandticket (D-Ticket). As of January 1, 2026, the Deutschlandticket costs €63 per month (an increase from the previous €49 and €58 prices). This ticket allows for unlimited travel on all local and regional transport across Germany, including Berlin's U-Bahn, S-Bahn, trams, and buses. However, it remains strictly excluded from high-speed, long-distance trains like the ICE, IC, or EC. The ticket is sold only as a digital subscription that must be cancelled by the 10th of the month if you do not want it to renew automatically for the following month. It offers a much more sustainable, albeit more expensive, way to navigate the German capital and the rest of the country compared to the original experimental 9-euro scheme.
