Advantages
Safely to the capital despite icy roadsDisadvantages
UnpunctualityMy train journey from Freiburg to Berlin was a pleasant way to travel between these cities, especially given the winter conditions. A standout feature of this journey was that I was able to travel safely and warmly between the cities despite the icy conditions. This is a definite plus point, especially when the weather is adverse. The ample wifi on board allowed me to be productive and work easily during the journey. This connectivity is a crucial factor when travelling these days and contributed significantly to satisfaction. The service and friendliness of the railway staff was also positive. They were available for questions and help, which made the journey pleasant. Unfortunately, as is so often the case with rail travel, the train was delayed. This is a known problem, but as usual it requires planning a time buffer for appointments to avoid unpleasant surprises. All in all, travelling by train from Freiburg to Berlin. A safe and comfortable way to connect the two cities, especially in wintry conditions, the availability of wifi and friendly service all contribute to satisfaction if you can tolerate the occasional delay.
