-I travelled from Munich to Salzburg on the Railjet 63 and was thrilled all round! Departure from Munich Central Station was punctual and relaxed, boarding was straightforward thanks to the clearly organised carriage rows. The train was modern, clean and very comfortable - the seats are comfortable, there is plenty of space for luggage and there are power sockets at every seat as well as free wifi, which worked reliably.
The train staff were friendly, attentive and always helpful. I particularly liked the on-board restaurant: the selection of food and drinks is varied and the food was fresh and delicious. There are also separate areas for families and travellers with special needs, which I found very pleasant and inclusive.
The journey itself was quiet and scenic - the route between Munich and Salzburg is really worth seeing. I arrived in Salzburg on time, so I was able to keep to my connection plans without any problems.

Very fullI was travelling from Munich to Warsaw and Salzburg was one of the first stops. The train left Munich on time at 18:35 and also arrived in Salzburg on time at 20:26. The train and the toilets were clean. I was also able to charge my mobile phone, but the Wi-Fi was not the best. The ticket was cheap and the journey went smoothly. I didn't use the service, but there was an on-board bistro for hungry and thirsty riders. Overall the journey was a 4.5/5 unfortunately the train was quite crowded.

However, the very friendly and helpful on-board staff lifted the mood. I particularly liked the large windows, which let in plenty of daylight and made the view enjoyable. The high level of cleanliness in the coach contributed to the pleasant atmosphere. Although wifi was available, it often proved to be too slow for larger downloads.

Overloaded on-board restaurantThe journey was very pleasant overall. I had a seat with a table on the upper deck, which gave me a good view. The train was modernly equipped and quiet in operation. I particularly liked the option of charging my mobile phone directly via USB. The connection was fast and there was no need to change trains, which made the journey very relaxed. One small drawback was the overcrowded on-board restaurant. I would have liked to have eaten something, but after waiting twenty minutes I gave up. Nevertheless, it was a journey I would do again at any time.

Friendly staffDisadvantages
Worn trainI took the train EC 219 from Heidelberg to Salzburg.
The train also went through Munich. I travelled second class and did not make a reservation, yet there were enough seats so I did not have to stand. The train looked worn and in questionable technical condition.
The Board Bistro was closed that day. The on-board staff were always friendly and courteous. The train was not delayed for the entire journey.
The journey was not bad in that respect, only the old train was in need of improvement.
Advantages
FastPracticalDisadvantages
NoneThe train connection from Munich to Salzburg was exceptionally punctual.
The train departed and arrived exactly on time. The train was overall clean and well maintained. The seats and floor were in good condition, but there was some litter on the tables. A pleasant surprise was that there were plenty of power sockets on this train. The train was easily accessible for people with mobility impairments and there was plenty of room for wheelchairs. The toilets on the train were clean, but could be better maintained. Overall, my train journey from Munich to Salzburg was a very positive experience. The punctuality and availability of electricity on the train are particularly noteworthy.

I was a little late, but the delay was limited. I've experienced other things from Deutsche Bahn. Nevertheless, the price is very attractive and I would choose Deutsche Bahn again.
Advantages
Replacement train for train cancellationCourteous serviceDisadvantages
Train cancellations again and againThe connection is great. Unfortunately, there are always cancellations on the route. Fortunately, you can switch to other connections. Travelling by regional train is a little slower and the trains are often quite full. Sometimes there are only a few carriages. Otherwise, the train connection is recommended, as it is quick and easy to get from Munich to Salzburg.
Advantages
Lots of comfort for a fair priceFast train connectionDisadvantages
NoneThe train was extremely punctual, which made the journey stress-free. The ticket price was reasonable, but a more flexible fare structure would be desirable. The trains were mostly clean, but some compartments could do with more intensive cleaning. The wifi worked flawlessly and made for a productive journey. The toilets were acceptable, but could be cleaned more often. The seats were comfortable, but an easily adjustable backrest would be a plus. Overall the train journey was pleasant, small improvements in cleanliness and seat comfort could further improve the travelling experience.
Advantages

Was too expensive for me personallyThe view on the journey was really nice and calming. It was easy to relax and I watched series via the train's wifi while occasionally taking in the beautiful scenery. The service was also great and courteous. The only thing I could have worked on was the price, but that was probably because I should have bought my ticket earlier. Otherwise, I was completely satisfied

NoneThe train journey from Munich to Salzburg was a great trip and very pleasant. It started with the fact that the train was on time and arrived on time and I didn't have to change trains during the journey.
The train was definitely very comfortable, firstly because my seat was very comfortable and secondly because there was a lot of space and legroom. I'd love to do it again!

The wifiWhen I travelled by train, it was a through route. In other words, I could easily travel from Munich Central Station to Salzburg Central Station. When I got on the train, I was greeted by a member of staff. She immediately asked for my ticket, I showed it to her and everything proceeded as normal. I left around midday and arrived 2 hours later. The friendliness of the staff was very good, but the cleanliness of the toilets was rather poor, the ticket was fairly priced. The worst thing about the journey was the wifi

NoneThe journey from Munich to Salzburg was short and sweet. The train set off on time and reached Salzburg without any delays. I was able to do a bit of work on board as the wifi worked smoothly. The service was good, as coffee was served at my seat. It was clean and pleasant on board. The price of the journey was also quite reasonable. I particularly enjoyed the scenery along the route.
Advantages

Price too highI travelled on the ÖBB IC 460 and I have to say I was satisfied with everything for the short journey except that I paid a little more than I would have expected for the service. It was a relatively short journey and we arrived on time, but on average I pay just as much for a longer journey. But the service was great and at least I arrived on time.
Advantages

PriceI travelled from Munich to Salzburg on business on the ICE 117 and had to change trains once in Klagenfurt. Everything went smoothly and without a hitch. The train arrived on time and had no further disruptions during the journey. The train made a clean and well-kept impression on me. The food on board was delicious. The staff were polite and helpful. You also get to see beautiful scenery. The journey was highly recommended. However, the price could be a bit lower.
Advantages
PunctualityDisadvantages
None at allI immediately noticed that the train was very punctual. The staff made every effort to make the journey as pleasant as possible. I couldn't find any rubbish or dirt, which is why I have nothing to criticise in terms of hygiene. I bought the ticket online in advance at an affordable price. Overall, I give it five stars and my recommendation.
Advantages
Great experienceDisadvantages
Price was too expensive for the journeyThe journey was less than 2 hours, so I would have expected a lower price. It was probably because I hadn't booked it earlier. The train wasn't too clean either, but it was reasonable. The service was simply non-existent as I was only checked in. Otherwise I was satisfied, but it was one of my few journeys that could have been better
Advantages
Very great and easy bookingShort travelling timeDisadvantages
Weak wifiThe only bad thing about my train journey from Munich to Salzburg was the somewhat weak wifi. Nevertheless, the journey was outstanding, because the simple and very cheap online booking convinced me a lot. I also really liked the fact that I reached my destination quickly and didn't have to change trains. The seats were very comfortable and allowed me to enjoy a cosy journey. The toilets were also impeccable, as they were clean.
Advantages
Direct connectionEnvironmental friendlinessDisadvantages
Somewhat crampedWe travelled from Berlin to Munich and then from Munich to Salzburg with the Spar fare. We took the Meridian M 79021, which departs from a side platform, so changing trains involved a long walk.
As the Meridian is a local train, we didn't have a seat reservation and the space was a bit cramped with our luggage. There were relatively few toilets for the train, but they were clean. We did not use wifi. The train staff were friendly in their announcements and we reached Salzburg on time in just under two hours.
Advantages

NoneThe journey went exactly according to schedule and I arrived in Salzburg on time. I had a seat with a small table and plenty of legroom. I was able to stow my luggage above me. The staff were extremely friendly and polite. The only thing that didn't work was the wifi, you could connect but you still didn't have an internet connection, which was a bit of a shame. Otherwise it was kept very clean.
Advantages

There were no negatives :)You don't always have to demonise the train, because there are other ways.
I travelled from Munich to Salzburg and have to say that the outward journey was perfect and the train was totally empty. I travelled in 2nd class and was also completely satisfied here in RJX 265.
The staff were friendly and there was nothing wrong with the cleanliness of the toilet.
Power sockets were available and worked, only the wifi was often not available, which I can understand due to the route.
Advantages

PlaceWhat was very pleasing was that the train kept to all the times. The only unpleasant thing was that there were no more seats and I had to sit in the aisle. What I have to say is that the toilets were very clean and hygienic. If you reserve a seat, the journey is definitely worth the money
