German trains are clean, comfortable, dependable and fast. Between the downtown areas of most German cities the travel time by train is as fast or faster than the travel time by plane, when you calculate in the time it takes to get to and from the airport.

Germany’s National railway, the Deutsche Bahn, features the super-fast InterCity Express (ICE) trains. They zoom around the country at hourly and two-hourly intervals and link up with all major cities. Some ICE trains also operate between major international destinations including Switzerland, Belgium, France, Austria, and the Netherlands.

In addition, there are IC and EC trains, with the same internationally stipulated quality standards. Trains connecting German cities are called Intercity (IC) trains and the ones connecting German cities with neighboring countries are called Euro City (EC) trains.

Tickets and timetables are available on the app Deutsche Bahn or website: https://www.bahn.de or https://int.bahn.de/en/offers.
