Is the Deutschland-Ticket for foreigners?

Is the Deutschlandticket usable for foreigners and tourists? Yes, even people who are not German residents can use the Deutschlandticket. However, the subscription rule also applies to them and you must cancel the Deutschlandticket in good time.



Yes, the Deutschland-Ticket is available to foreigners and tourists, provided they can navigate the subscription-based system. As of 2026, the ticket costs €63 per month and offers unlimited travel on all local and regional public transport across Germany, including buses, trams, U-Bahns, S-Bahns, and regional trains (RB, RE). It is not valid on long-distance high-speed trains like the ICE, IC, or EC. The primary challenge for short-term visitors is that it is sold only as a digital subscription that renews automatically. To avoid being charged for a second month, users must cancel their subscription by the 10th day of the current month. Many tourists use the DB Navigator app or regional apps like HVV or MVV to purchase the ticket. While a German bank account was originally a common hurdle, many apps now allow payment via international credit cards or PayPal, making it a highly cost-effective option for travelers planning extensive regional exploration within a calendar month.
