For getting around Karlsruhe and Heidelberg during the Cultural Day, we recommend using the FAIRTIQ app to purchase your public transport tickets. Simply swipe "Start" before boarding and "Stop" when you reach your destination. FAIRTIQ automatically calculates the best available fare, making it an easy and convenient way to travel.
Please note: FAIRTIQ is only valid for local and regional public transport, including regional trains (e.g. DB Regionalbahn and Regional-Express services), trams, buses, and local transit networks. It cannot be used for long-distance trains such as ICE, IC, or EC services.
This makes FAIRTIQ the perfect choice for the Cultural Day. However, if you are travelling longer distances—for example, from Frankfurt Airport to Karlsruhe by ICE—you will need to purchase a separate long-distance ticket.
