Is it worth buying train tickets in advance from Frankfurt Airport to Wurzburg, Wurzburg to Stuttgart, Stuttgart to Strausbourg , Strausbourg to Trier and Trier to Frankfurt. Using the train to get between my base cities and the first and last one are shortrides
Yes. Saver Fares save a lot over walk-up fares for these journeys. But be aware that the are non-refundable and train-specific... You can't miss your pre-scheduled departures.
A 5-day German Railpass for these journeys would be mostly refundable if you couldn't do the trip - and would offer travel day and departure time flexibility as well as some savings over walk-up tix. An additional discount of 15% off the normal pass price is possible if purchased this month. Details:
