How to travel by train
Our advice for your railway experience in NRW.
- How, where, and when do we leave? Plan your journey with mobil.nrw. If you only have a short distance to travel, the "eezy.nrw" online ticket will only charge you for the linear kilometres actually travelled. It allows you to save plenty of money.
- An overview of roadworks or cancellations and their respective durations can be found on the website zuginfo.nrw.
- Better safe than sorry, in particular where taking drinks along is concerned as trains grow quite hot in summer. A small snack won't do any harm either.
- Are you looking for pretty vistas? Check Google Maps before setting out to see how the route’s layout and figure out the side on which the hidden highlights can be seen.
- An often-repeated piece of advice that is truly important is: avoid the peak times such as the start of the weekend or after-work traffic if you are looking for a relaxed trip.
