DelayI have travelled to Munich by train many times. Tickets are super easy to get. With the saver fares, you now pay really cheap prices. My last train journey to Munich was from Nuremberg. The train was equipped with wifi, had a bistro and everything was very clean. However, the train was half an hour late, but you have to plan for that.
Advantages
SeatsVolumeDurationDisadvantages
PriceDelayStaffThe train journey was basically very pleasant. I had wifi and access to two power sockets. The seats were very comfortable. I quickly fell asleep in them. It was also because it was really quiet on the train. No one was shouting or doing anything else. The food was not good. The staff were also very unfriendly. I didn't have a reservation, but I received information. Toilets were also OK and hygiene was also good. I didn't have to change trains, but unfortunately the train was not on time. Price-performance ratio was OK.

It was a pleasant journey, with comfortable seats. The on-board restaurant is ideal for working, as there are more internet routers there. The staff are also friendly. Unfortunately, the quiet compartments were not well insulated at the time of my journey and the doors did not close properly. Overall, the experience was mostly positive.
