1. Start Your Search

From the GetGoing homepage, you can search for round trips or one-way train routes.

  • In the From and To fields, enter your departure and arrival locations
  • You can use city names (e.g., “Berlin”) to see all stations there, or specific station names (e.g., “Berlin-Spindlersfeld Station”) for a more targeted search

2. Add Your Rail Membership (Optional)

If your traveler profile includes a rail membership card (like a BahnCard), you can select it from the dropdown before you search. This ensures you’ll see fares with your discount already applied.
