About Trainvave in one sentence
Trainvave is a free English-language guide that helps international tourists navigate German train travel — explaining tickets, routes, and live rail status in plain English.
Three sentences
Trainvave publishes editorial guides and daily-updated rail-status data for visitors to Germany. Our audience is predominantly from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and Singapore. We make money through affiliate links to Omio (train tickets) and Stay22 (accommodation); editorial and commercial are strictly separated — see our about page.
