Omio

Omio (formerly GoEuro) is a Berlin-based multimodal travel search and booking platform that aggregates train, bus, and flight options across Europe — allowing travellers to compare and book all transport modes in a single interface.

For expats in Germany, Omio is particularly useful for planning inter-city travel where multiple transport options exist: Deutsche Bahn trains, FlixBus or Flixtrains, and budget airline flights can all appear side by side for a given route, with prices, journey times, and connections clearly displayed. This transparency helps travellers choose the best combination of price, speed, and convenience for each specific trip.

Omio’s interface is available in English and multiple other languages, making it more accessible for newly arrived expats than booking directly through Deutsche Bahn’s website in German. Tickets for all modes are issued digitally within the Omio app, reducing the complexity of multi-leg journeys across different transport operators.

The platform also covers international routes across Europe — useful for expats making regular trips between Germany and their home country or other destinations on the continent. Omio’s coverage spans over 1,000 transport providers across 37 countries.
