Pro

Beautiful landscapes

Historical train

Contra

A little unpunctual

The trip was from Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof to Dresden with the ICE 1657. I traveled second class. The train was a bit unpunctual, but this did not bother me, since I no longer had to catch a connecting train anyway. It was a somewhat historic train, which I personally sometimes like. The train was clean and well maintained. Along the route you get to see beautiful landscapes, so the trip is definitely worth it. I can recommend the train ride.

Pro

Pleasant trip

Clean train

Contra

None

The trip from Frankfurt am Main to Dresden was on the ICE 1657. I traveled second class and did not make a reservation. Nevertheless, I got a seat because the train was not at capacity. The trip was very pleasant. It was very warm outside, however the air conditioning on the train worked. The staff was friendly, the train was extremely clean and well maintained. The train was not delayed. I did not test the Board Bistro on this train. I can recommend this trip.

Pro

Fast connection

On time

Contra

No WIFI

The trip from Frankfurt to Dresden was on the ICE 1657, in second class. I have not made a seat reservation, this was also not necessary, because the train was almost empty.
