How to book ICE tickets
Search live ICE journeys on EuroRail Times and continue to All Aboard to buy. Sparpreis (saver) fares usually release weeks to months ahead; Flexpreis stays available closer to departure at a higher price.
Reservation rules
Seat reservations are optional on most ICE trains inside Germany but strongly recommended on busy Fridays, Sundays and holiday peaks. International ICE legs (e.g. to Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris or Basel) often sell with a reserved seat included.
Price tips for 2026
Look for Super Sparpreis / Sparpreis when dates open. Midweek daytime trains are usually cheaper than Friday evenings. BahnCard discounts apply on many fares — check the live offer before you pay.

Do ICE tickets include a seat reservation?
Domestic ICE tickets do not always include a seat; you can add a reservation for a small fee. International ICE tickets often include a reserved seat.
How far ahead can I buy ICE tickets?
Deutsche Bahn typically opens long-distance sales about 6 months ahead. The cheapest Sparpreis quotas sell out first on popular corridors like Berlin–Munich.
Can I use an Interrail pass on ICE?
Yes, ICE trains are covered by Interrail/Eurail, but a seat reservation is advised on busy routes and required on some international services.
