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.

IconThe train was very clean
Cons
IconNo 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
IconFast drive
Cons
IconChange 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.

It was a very pleasant train journey and there were no cancellations or anything like that. The staff were very nice and very helpful.
