ground transportation
train
Company: Deutsche Bahn
Germany is known for its great train system (German jokes aside, it’s not perfect!) but we recommend renting a car for some activities because the train system doesn’t reach every destination easily.
Car
Discover the freedom of traveling by car in Germany, the Autobahn, the only highway with no speed limit, offers an exciting way to explore the country. Renting a car is the best way to visit hidden gems and enjoy your trip at your own pace. Additionally, getting to the wedding venue is much easier by car, so we suggest arranging a rental in advance. If you would like to rent a car, we can provide our recommended options—just get in touch with us.
