We will be traveling in Germany in October and I am trying to figure out whether we should just buy regular 2nd class rail tickets or if there is any multi use pass that would be less expensive - We will be using the train from the Munich airport to the Hauptbahnhof. Two days later train to Nuernburg, Day trips to on either/both Bamberg and/or Rothenberg Ob Der Tauber. Four days later bus to Prague which I believe can't be combined with the trains. Are regular tickets best or what.? Thanks for any advise

For the transport from the airport to the center buy a MVV Airport City day
ticket. For the Munich - Nuremberg trip either go to www.bahn.com and pre-book saver fare tickets for high speed trains (travel time 1:04 to 1:10; bound to a specific train, should be available for €19 each) or travel on a Bayern Ticket (€25/1, €31/2). The BT is valid on regional trains only. Most of the regional trains are slow, but every other hour there is a RE (regional express) that covers the distance in 1:45. Do your trips to Bamberg and / or Rothenburg *) with a day ticket called VGN Tagesticket Plus for €19.10, valid in the entire VGN (Nuremberg transport authority) network all day or saturday & sunday, resp. Buy the BT and the VGN ticket from any (DB or VGN) vending machine in the main station. Pre-book the Prague bus at www.bahn.com.
