Pro

Save money

Trip to the city centre

Catering

Cons

Delays

Stress when changing trains

Noise pollution

Since I made a trip to Germany some time ago only by train, the journey from Dresden to Munich was of course also on the agenda. Considering that you still have to expect delays or stress when changing trains at the station, the ticket is still very cheap and I was able to save a lot of money. Food and comfort are of course great, even if you are sometimes bothered by the noise. And my last and most important point is that you can really get to any city centre without much trouble.

The train ride from Dresden to Munich was a great experience. The train was on time and comfortable and the scenery along the way was stunning. The train staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, it was an enjoyable journey and I would be happy to recommend it to others.

Pro

The train was very clean

Cons

No negative aspects

I took the ICE to Munich. The giant was very relaxing, you had wifi the whole way. In terms of comfort, the seats were very cosy. It wasn't too noisy on the train either, where that made it even cosier. The service was also very friendly. The train was also very clean and there was no unpleasant smell. The train arrived on time and we had no problems at all.

Pro

Fast drive

Cons

Change once

The journey went quickly and the short change in Erfurt was no problem. The train wasn't overcrowded either, so it was easy to find a seat. The train was clean and well air-conditioned as it was the height of summer. I can generally recommend this route, as it is quicker than travelling by car from Dresden to Munich.
