Pro

Clean trains

Beautiful view

Contra

Long waiting time when changing

My train journey from Berlin to Zurich was a real pleasure. Berlin's main station is impressive and well organised. The ICE was on time and offered a comfortable seat. The change in Stuttgart went smoothly. However, the waiting time was a bit long. The onward journey through Switzerland was breathtaking. The snow-covered Alps and the clean lakes offered a beautiful view. There was an on-board bistro where coffee and snacks were available. The second train was just like the first, clean and technically up to date.

Pro

On time

Contra

Toilet

I went to Zurich by train from Berlin. I found the service of the staff very friendly and pleasant. From the price you can not say anything. In my eyes, it was very cheap. The trip itself was very relaxed, except that I had to change trains once. I had super wifi and could thus pass the time very well. Unfortunately, I found the toilet not clean, namely so that you could not use the toilet in my eyes.
