Advantages
IconFast drive
IconFavourable
Disadvantages
IconNothing
The journey from Koblenz main station to Stuttgart main station on the Deutsche Bahn IC train takes almost exactly 2 hours and 30 minutes, if everything goes according to plan. The IC train travels past the picturesque Loreley in the Rhine Valley. Although the seats on the IC trains are old, they are still comfortable and the wifi works poorly or hardly at all on this route. If you book early, you can get a very good price here; if you book this route spontaneously, it will be significantly more expensive.
