The train journey from Munich to Dresden with Deutsche Bahn was very relaxed and comfortable. The trains are equipped with wifi, which allowed me to work during the journey. The bistro was also very tasty! The staff were very friendly after my questions about any delays. The toilets were adequate for an ICE. The only thing I would have to complain about is the noise level on the train.
