Intercity Trains
All ordinary-size luggage can be stored in the storage areas above your seat on ICE trains. Larger items can be placed in identified areas between seats.
Bicycles are allowed on Intercity trains with a separate ticket and reservation.
Travelling with your dog is permitted, free of charge, unless your pet does not fit in hand luggage or in a transport container. In that case, you will need to pay a fee equivalent to a child’s fare for both standard and saver fares. Larger dogs will require a leash and muzzle for safety reasons (except guide dogs for the blind). Seats cannot be reserved for dogs.
All ICE trains are user and family-friendly, with special facilities for the disabled and families with infants. Assistance is available at over 300 stations at no additional charge.
