I already travel very often and also very much like to travel with Deutsche Bahn. But since I bought the Bahncard 25 for 1st class last year, I travel even more often and much more willingly. I save 25% with every journey and could also take advantage of that in 2nd class if I wanted to travel habitually. If you book your journey in good time and outside peak times, you will always travel more cheaply than with your own car. And then also much more relaxed at your destination. There is always more than enough space, even with a huge rolling suitcase I am no obstacle. The seat booking via the app also works great - it's free in first class - you can choose your seat online. I can only recommend the train!

My ICE journey from Munich main station to Garmisch - Partenkirchen was very great in itself! The seats were very comfortable and the wifi worked. The hygienic condition in the ICE was also very good. The travel view to the also unproblematic, as we did not have to struggle in delays and everything went well. The only drawback is the somewhat expensive price. Therefore one star deduction

On 5 February 2023, I travelled from Munich to Bremen on a Deutsche Bahn ICE train and I was extremely satisfied with the quality of the train journey. Not only was the train clean and well-equipped, but the seats also had power sockets, which was particularly important for me as a business traveller. The seats were comfortable and spacious and the heating worked perfectly, so I was comfortable throughout the journey. The on-board restaurant offered a wide selection of food and drinks and the service was friendly and efficient. I was able to place my order quickly and use the stable wifi connection to get my work done while I was there. The journey went without incident and I reached my destination on time. Overall, the train journey with the Deutsche Bahn ICE was a very good experience.
