The Guide

Train

In Germany, a passenger is allowed to carry a large piece of luggage in addition to a piece of hand luggage on Deutsche Bahn trains. Large pieces of luggage are items (suitcases etc.) that can be carried by one person but are not hand luggage. Items that could obstruct passage for or inconvenience other passengers or cause damage may not be transported. Passengers are responsible for supervising their own luggage. In principle, carrying instruments on trains is no problem as long as their size and quantity complies with the conditions of carriage.
In some European countries, an additional charge must be paid for larger items or instruments, for example when traveling by Thalys or Eurostar.
