About Rail travel in Germany
Long distance train travel is operated by the state-owned Deutsche Bahn. However, the monopoly was ultimately broken whenFlixtrain(the same company that operates Flixbus) entered the market on key routes serving some of Germany's largest cities such as between Berlin and Stuttgart, Berlin and Aachen, and Hamburg and Aachen, with cheaper fares albeit slightly outdated carriages. Another private operatorAlexoperates lines between a few cities in Bavaria and Prague in the Czech Republic. Operators from neighbouring countries also operate lines from a city or two in Germany to their respective countries using rolling stocks from either Deutsche Bahn or their own. Most of these lines can also be used for domestic travel and may also be booked at the Deutsche Bahn website. Deutsche Bahnoperates
