Practical tips
Train prices change a lot with the date and how early you buy. Check the fare for your exact day on this page, then book early so you do not end up paying far more than necessary.
Long-distance trains leave from Freiburg Hauptbahnhof. Confirm the station name on your e-ticket before leaving your accommodation, so you do not head to a regional stop or the wrong platform by mistake.
Some departures are through services and others involve a change. Look at the itinerary details before paying, and prefer options with a generous connection margin if you are carrying a heavy backpack.
Do not plan around the final train of the day. A delay could leave you without an alternative, so choose an earlier departure and keep some buffer for your arrival and your first night in Berlin.
Book online and save the e-ticket offline on your phone. It lets you show it quickly during the ticket check, even without a mobile connection, and helps you avoid stress at the platform.
