You need a match ticket to do this though, as this will act in place of a rail card, and theres specific timings when you have to use them. IE match day and early hours of the next morning. Your journey needs to be completed by 10am the morning after the match. Travelling to the matches of the European Football Championship 2024 with the DB Ticket Euro 2024 (bahn.de) It's a bit misleading but I think there's no limit on when those fares are available throughout the tournament. The way I read it, the 10am time limit is only if you're travelling on an overnight train. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is 2 hours enough to do all that if I'm not checking in / collecting any baggage? Plenty in my experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked both UEFA and InterRail about specifics about the EURO 24 pass (different, I know), and they both said they didn't know and to check after Jan 17th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why I just booked straight from DB when they put the seats on sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 3-4 local (RE) trains every hour, which only take about 10 minutes more than the IC/ICE trains. With a match ticket in hand, then you'll be able to use all of the trains running. Journey time varies between 25 & 35 minutes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 If anyone’s looking for a flight back, Basel looks a decent option. 3hr from Stuttgart. 7pm BA flight to Heathrow and then onto Edinburgh or Glasgow that night for £170 total, hold bag included and transfer covered. I couldn’t find another option that gets you back to Scotland on the 24th for under £200 and doesn’t involve an early start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just mind add a 5 euro seat reservation on. Alternatively, if you travel in a group of 5+ you get a free group seating reservation. Managed to get all our trains booked out and back for the 3 matches from our base in Frankfurt for under 150£ per person.

Travelling to the matches of the European Football Championship 2024 with the DB Ticket Euro 2024 (bahn.de) Remember as well, if you have a match ticket, on the day local transport is included with that. You may have misinterpreted the 10am part. I think it refers to onward travel on regional trains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Dunno how much time youd get in Basel but its a hidden gem of a city, absolutrly fantastic place to walk around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hotel is literally across the street from the station but it could be a challenge. I suspect there will be a lot of on the train to Zurich. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having completely changed my plans when the draw was made me and the boy are going over for the last group game only. Birmingham to Stuttgart via Frankfurt. 21st-24th. Train from Frankfurt airport to Stuttgart Central included in the flight ticket from Lufthansa. Staying in a place called Renningen for the 3 nights, 20 mins direct train to Stuttgart. Just over £500, hand luggage only. Will obviously drive to Birmingham from Greenock. Thanks, appreciate the reply. I’ve been looking at possibly flying to Strasbourg or Zurich from Glasgow, Birmingham or Manchester which I can get for just over £200 then getting the train from there to Stuttgart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We managed to get flights from Frankfurt > Heathrow > Glasgow on the 24th for just under £200. Small matter of an hour and 15 min train journey from Stuttgart to Frankfurt Airport (direct) in the morning, but hopefully goes smoothly. BA have cancelled/changed our flight times on 3 occasions now but still all good, shit myself any time I see an update from them at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin ritchie Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Just received an email about our stuttgart accommodation, apparently between the hotel and booking.com they have over booked our hotel by 150 rooms and they now want us to cancel our 4 night stay.

We ended up going that way as hotel prices were extortionate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
