The Bayern-Ticket is a one-day travel ticket that allows unlimited travel on regional transport within Bavaria.

It is ideal for tourists, families, and groups who want to explore the region economically.

Since the Romantic Road is largely located in Bavaria, especially the southern towns, it is the ideal transport ticket if you plan to use the train on your trip.

Schedules

The ticket is available in two versions:

- Bayern-Ticket (daytime): valid from 9:00 AM to 3:00 AM the following day, Monday to Friday; and from 12:00 AM to 3:00 AM the following day, on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.

- Bayern-Ticket Nacht (nighttime): valid from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following day, Sunday to Thursday; and from 6:00 PM to 7:00 AM the following day, on Fridays, Saturdays, and public holidays.
