Which train companies offer trains to Munich?
Train journeys from the UK to Munich will generally involve a couple of rail companies. In most cases, travellers will need to take a Eurostar connection from London to Paris or Brussels, then transfer to a Deutsche Bahn (DB) service to Munich.
Why travel by train to Munich?
Travelling by train to Munich makes a lot of sense for passengers who value comfort and convenience. Eurostar and DB trains that serve the route are always spacious and enjoyable places to spend time, and with some beautiful scenery to watch as the journey unfolds, it's a pleasant experience. On-board food and wi-fi complete the setup for rail travellers, allowing you to relax and work if necessary. Thanks to Eurostar connections, the journey time isn't that long (under 9 hours in many cases), making rail travel a comfortable and eco-friendly way to reach Munich.
Before you travel to Munich by train - good to know!
Upon arrival, it makes sense to arrange MVV day or week cards, which make travelling around the city easier (and cheaper). München Cards are also very handy, providing cut-price admission to over 90 attractions and discounted transport. Munich is full of attractions, from the vast BMW Museum and the Allianz Arena, to the Frauenkirche and the English Garden. But there are offbeat destinations, too. Head for a swim in the open air pools at Volksbad, explore the beer gardens by the River Isar, and take in an 1860 Munich football match. It's more down to earth than watching Bayern's superstars.
