Can you go to Strasbourg with 49-euro ticket?

Since the Strasbourgers don't actually allow the 49-euro ticket to cross over into their territory, it will be necessary to spend a few extra euros.



Yes, you can reach Strasbourg with the Deutschlandticket (49-euro ticket), but only under very specific conditions. While the ticket is primarily for local and regional transport within Germany, certain cross-border exceptions exist. From Kehl, the German border town, you can take the D-Line tram into the heart of Strasbourg; however, this specific exception usually applies only on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. On weekdays, the Deutschlandticket is generally only valid as far as Kehl station. If you take the regional train (RB/RE) from Offenburg directly to Strasbourg, you typically need to purchase a small supplementary ticket for the French portion of the track, which usually costs just a few euros. It is important to remember that high-speed trains like the ICE or TGV are never included in the 49-euro ticket, even for the domestic German portions of the journey, so you must stick to regional transit to make the connection work.

Yes, you can travel to Strasbourg, France with the 49-euro Deutschland-Ticket (D-Ticket), but with some limitations:

How to Reach Strasbourg with the 49-Euro Ticket:

  1. Travel to Kehl (Germany)
    - The 49-euro ticket is valid on regional trains (RE, RB, S-Bahn) within Germany, so you can take a train to Kehl, the last German town before Strasbourg. - Example routes:

    • From Offenburg (RE 7 / RB 25 to Kehl)
    • From Karlsruhe (RE 2 / RB 51 to Appenweier, then transfer to Kehl)

  2. Crossing into Strasbourg (France)
    - The 49-euro ticket does not cover travel in France, so you’ll need to:

    • Walk (~20 min from Kehl station to Strasbourg city center via the pedestrian bridge).
    • Take a tram (€1.80 single ticket, buy from machines in Kehl or Strasbourg).
    • Rent a bike (Vélhop stations available near the border).

Important Notes:

  • No direct trains to Strasbourg are covered by the 49-euro ticket (French TER trains require a separate ticket).
  • Check schedules—some regional trains to Kehl may be infrequent.
  • Border controls may occasionally occur, so carry your ID/passport.

Alternative Option:

If you want a direct train to Strasbourg, you’d need a separate ticket (e.g., from Offenburg or Karlsruhe, starting at ~€10–€20 one-way).
