Tips on traveling in
Germany
- If you plan to drive in Germany, read our article on
car rentals: when to rent, when to lease. For
train travel, consider a rail pass from our
partner, Rail
Europe
 .
- When traveling with a rail pass, know the rules. In Berlin, for example, a Eurail
pass is good on the S-Bahn but not on the U-Bahn. (See "Evading
a Ticket in Germany.")
