Disadvantages
IconSlight delay
It is very easy to travel from Duisburg to Münster by train, the journey normally takes just under 1 hour and we were 10 minutes late, which I find absolutely acceptable. This was also the only point of criticism, the train was really well equipped, there were many luggage racks, everything was clean, the service staff was really friendly. Overall, I can only recommend the trip to everyone.
