PriceMy wife and I often go on city trips, this time it was Dresden. I can only mention one negative thing, and that is the price. The train made a clean and well-kept impression, the seats, the sanitary facilities, the corridors, everything was clean. The staff were very friendly, the wifi was good for normal use with a mobile phone. The train arrived on time and there were no delays during the journey.
