Hello,
I will be taking a number of trips by rail during a 17 day travel, Sept. 17 - Oct. 3. I am wondering if I should book all of these individually, or buy a bahn card or some other discounted pass through the rail system in Germany. The website will not allow advanced purchase yet. When is the best time to purchase these, in advance or at the station? Will buying in advance save some money?
For the Munich to Prague, will I buy two seperate tickets, or one for the full trip and just get off/on at Regensberg?
Munich --%26gt; Regensberg(daytrip) --%26gt; Prague
Prague --%26gt; Dresden

Thank you so much for the information. I will make good use of it!

Hi, I was looking back over this itinerary and have a question.
The ticket qouted below...So you purchase the ticket for EUR 23,00 and you can ride the train during those times listed no restrictions (because I plan on getting off at Regensberg and then getting back on another train to finish my leg)?
When I look at Bahn.de they do not have this ticket online. They only have specific tickets per departure. Munich to Prague is quoted at EUR 29 on savings and regular price is EUR 60. Will the Bavaria-Bohemia Ticket go up in price if I purchase the same day? The savings structures are confusing...
And, for when I get there. Do I just refer to the ticket as %26quot;Bavaria-Bohemia%26quot; and I will know how to select this at the machine?

Yes (apart from the restrictions I already listed). Stopover in Regensburg is no problem.
%26gt; When I look at Bahn.de they do not have this ticket online.
You can buy it online. But this shop is only in Germany and this will add a shipping fee of EUR 3,50.

No.
%26gt; And, for when I get there. Do I just refer to the ticket as %26quot;Bavaria-Bohemia%26quot; and I will know how to select this at the machine?
Should be under %26quot;Länder-Tickets%26quot;. Either as Bavaria-Bohemia Ticket or under its German name Bayern-Böhemn Ticket.
You can also buy it at the counter. Will cost than EUR 25,00 however.

small typo:
... under its German name Bayern-Böhmen Ticket.
