Seat reservations - your guarantee for a comfortable journey

Reserve your personal seat for your rail journey so that you are sure to arrive relaxed at your destination. Are you travelling with your family? If so, simply book a family seating reservation – and keep everyone together.

You have a choice with all options: whether you want a mobile phone or rest area, a large or small compartment, window or corridor, you will find the right seat for any situation. If you want to reserve several seats we will try and find seats that are all together wherever possible.

Book your seat together with your ticket at www.bahn.de and benefit from the online price advantage!

Seats can be booked up to 3 months (international up to 2 months) before the journey and can be reserved separately from buying a ticket: You can also make reservations if you have already bought a ticket or own a Mobility BahnCard 100.
