Advantages
Have a good tripFast rideNo problemsDisadvantages
ToiletI recently visited my grandparents in Munich. I had to drive there from Heidelberg. The journey went without any problems. I had to change trains once in Stuttgart, which took me about twenty minutes. Otherwise, the whole journey took about three hours, fifteen minutes.
Advantages
Direct journey without changing trainsSimple bookingOn timeDisadvantages
No air conditionerVery fullThe ticket was easy to book, with seat reservation. The ticket was super cheap thanks to the savings offer. It was great that the train went through and I didn't have to change trains, plus the train was on time. The train was an older model, so the atmosphere was not so nice and there were a lot of people on the way. A big minus point was the heat in the train, as there was unfortunately no air conditioning. Despite everything, I would always take this connection again.
Advantages
Quite inexpensiveDisadvantages
Somewhat awkward connectionThe journey on the Intercity was pleasant. The train was clean. Sometimes you have some connection problems in the Intercity. Changing trains worked well and easily. A direct connection from Mannheim on the ICE would be even more comfortable. It takes three hours to get from Heidelberg to Munich. It is usually the better alternative to the bus or car, as it is also quite cheap and there is no risk of traffic jams.
Advantages
Good comfortDisadvantages
Long journeyThe trip was really great. The equipment was really great, wifi and sockets were both available. The seats were very comfortable and the noise level was really pleasant. You have to cater for yourself. It was very clean and hygienic, the toilets were freshly cleaned. The service was very friendly. There are also booking options. The journey was quite long, but luckily we didn't have to change trains. The price-performance ratio is really great!
